ICEM PART
The discrete manufacturing industry is facing increasing demands for shorter turnaround times and higher quality production. For those companies that are faced with large numbers of small jobs, the estimating and process planning functions are critical.
Version 1.2 of the "PART" software works directly from B-rep solid models produced by many popular design systems including ACIS-based applications, CATIA, ICEM, Pro/ENGINEER and those with STEP interfaces. Through automatic feature recognition, these models are broken down into manufacturing features. The system can automatically recommend setups, select cutting tools and machines, optimize machining operations, and produce complete NC tool paths and reports. Process planning efforts are drastically reduced and quality is improved through consistent application of standard practices.
