ALPHACAM AUTOMATION
ALPHACAM Automation Manager
ALPHACAM’s Automation Manager means 2D and 3D Cad files, along with solid models from third-party software, can now be batch processed, from file preparation right through to applying toolpaths, with NC code being generated automatically. In addition, the files create a full report structure, along with labels and bar coding.
Overall using Automation Manager could save an end user days and weeks, potentially even months of programming time in a year.
In a conventional CAM system, each file would have to be processed individually by inserting the file, extracting the features, applying tool directions and toolpaths, saving the file and NC code, and then generating the required reports. Now ALPHACAM can do this repetitive labour intensive work automatically
