Accurate NC Program Generation Based on New Model Editing Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper emphasizes the benefits of part-model editing process that does not depend on hystory-based modelling system. The use of synchronous technology in mechanical engineering applications allows the NC programmer to efficiently generate the NC program regardless the source of 3D model. The programming and machining process can be more efficient if the intuitive geometric changes on 3D model are allowed. Synchronous technology makes possible NC programmer’s intervention over 3D model geometry, without breaking the rules defined in CAD. Synchronous technology works with both, native and non-native models and it is available in NX and Solid Edge. With synchronous technology, the changes are performed with or without regard to the history of the model.
