Design & NC ProgrammingCatia V5     /    CMM Metrology

High efficiency in part programming - Thanks to tight integration between tool path definition and computation, tool path verification and output creation, our NC Programmers using Catia V5 are able to boost production quality by machining the right part, first time. Machining operations, supported by multiple passes and levels and automated rework in roughing and finishing also enhance this ability.

Effective change management - This solution set possesses a high level of associativity between product engineering and manufacturing processes and resources (PPR). We can therefore manage concurrent engineering and manufacturing flows better and reduce the length of the design to manufacturing cycle and then saving costs.

High level of automation and standardisation - By integrating the pervasive knowledgeware capabilities of CATIA V5 (in manufacturing intent and macro storage, for example), NC products allow the capture of skills and reuse of proven manufacturing knowledge and avoid repetition. This also facilitates innovation through shortened test cycles.

Optimised tool paths and reduced machining time - CATIA V5 NC products offer a wide set of flexible high-speed machining operations such as concentric roughing, Z-level milling, spiral milling and 5-axis flank contouring. This decreases the time needed to execute shop floor operations.
