CNC machining programming software has what and their respective advantages

What do you know about CNC programming software? In fact, the current main stream software has Mastercam, UG, Cimatron, PowerMILL, CAXA and so on. So today let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these software.

UG software: Drawing planning, mold separation function is strong, 3 axis knife road function is also very strong, the most crucial is the function of the plug-in electrode is very convenient and fast, UG software electrode removal many people, using it can realize the seamless transformation between planning, mold separation, CNC, many well-known large companies are using UG software, 5 axis knife road function is also very strong, the disadvantage is that the software is large, The computer configuration requirements are high, the 3d model is messy, and the calculation speed is slow.

Two, Mastercam software: the preparation of the processing program of messy parts is more convenient, and can carry out real-time simulation of the processing process, truly reflect the actual situation in the process of processing, is a very excellent CAD/CAM software. Shortcomings are: drawing function is not UG, Pro/E and SolidWorks as strong; New functions are sometimes unstable.

Three, Cimatron: E version is greatly improved, the electrode removal function is stronger than the old version, the knife road function is also stronger, planning, mold function has made great progress, knife road accounting speed is faster.

Harm: It is rarely used today.

POWERMILL: Now Powermill is the main stream programming tool path software, advantages: 3 axis, 5 axis tool path function are the same strong, intelligent, tool path calculation speed, tool path modification function is also very strong, many large companies now choose UG or Powermill, disadvantages: Planning and programming are two independent software, and the planning software is basically not used. Some of them need to modify the model for knife paths, and need to use other software as auxiliary surface. Many people combine UG with Powermill.

CAXA: CAXA is Computer Aided X Alliance-Always a step Ahead (X: technology, product, solution and service) abbreviation, developed by Beihang haier our country the first CAD product researched and developed independently completely. It is the pride of Chinese people. Its advantage is that it is easy to learn and use according to our thinking and interface planning software. The disadvantage is that the coverage is not high.
