Workxplore Is the Ideal Tool for Directly Displaying and Evaluating 3D CAD Files Without the Need for the Original CAD Application WorkXplore is the ideal tool for directly displaying and evaluating 3D CAD files without the need for the original CAD application. The intuitive, easy- to-use interface enables novice and experienced users alike to explore any type of 2D/3D CAD file. High Speed Collaborative Viewer visualise, analyse & collaborate WorkXplore enables users to build Even non-expert CAD users can Analyse : virtual unified prototypes or 3D models quickly get to grips with the software’s WorkXplore comes with a full range of from files imported from various CAD measurement functions and obtain specialist analysis tools which can be applications. Users can work on model good results instantly by using the used to help make quotes, diagnostics, set up and improvements before software’s predefined selection modes assembly notes or for 3D models committing time and resources to (points, 2D entities, planes, surfaces, production preparation. creating a real prototype. etc). WorkXplore also offers a range of A wide range of CAD interfaces Measurements can be automatically analysis functions which are usually are available: Catia V5, Catia V4, included as measurement entities and only available with more costly CAD Unigraphics, Parasolid, Pro/E, can be anchored to characteristic solutions. As well as being extremely SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Cadds, IGES, points of the part.

Setting up animations is achieved by simply initiating basic movements such as translation, rotation or following a guide curve. 02 WorkXplore 2016 - New Features and Improvements Re-engineered Animation Engine The animation engine has been improved to make animation sequences more realistic anmd the animation creation process much simpler. In this new version, animation creation is time-based and no longer according to the number of positions. Several movements for a part or a group of parts can be defined. This new process means that all movements within an assembly can be validated and, for example, allow collisions to be detected or be used in conjunction with procedural documentation to ensure correct assembly. Batch Mode File Conversion A new, independent tool for converting very large native or standard CAD files (or a large number of files) to the WorkXplore format. In previous versions, the application could not be used during the file conversion process. From now on, file processing is fully automated and is totally transparent. Users can continue working normally with the application. Requests for conversion can be triggered by the user or the tool itself if it has been programmed to process certain files at predetermined locations when they are modified or created. Entity Management Improvements All entities - both model and wireframe - which are present in the CAD file are shown in the assembly tree structure. A tree assembly search function based on entity names is now available and wildcard characters (* and ?) are also supported. Entity management is now much easier; they can be searched, grouped together, classified... Surface « patching » It may occure that certain part surfaces are missing after a file has been imported and this can be detrimental when analyzing a part. The new surface patch function allows this problem to be resolved. Users can now create surfaces by defining contour curves and if these are based on existing surface edges, patched surfaces can be made to be tangent to the existing surfaces. Internal curves can also be added to give a better definition to the form of the patched surfaces. Numerous features and improvements... The wide range of new features and improvements introduced in this new version offer greater flexibility to WorkXplore throughout the whole production process, including steps such as purchasing, quotations, design and marketing. - Generating bills of Materials, - Line thickness selection of dynamic sectioning, - Solidworks Import, - Link curves, - Importing Solid Works 2D...

    System benchmark of CAD-CAM in the area of tool making CAD-CAM Systembenchmark im Werkzeugbau Juan Calejero Martínez Matrikelnummer: 11806533 Institut für Fertigungstechnik Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Franz Haas Technischen Universität Graz Fakultät für Maschinenbau und Wirtschaftswissenschaften Graz, 10.05.2019 Acknowledgments Firstly, thanks to the Technical University of Graz and the whole Institute of Production Engineering (IFT) for giving me the possibility of taking part in such an interesting and challenging project. Second, thanks to my thesis coordinators, Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Franz Haas and Dr.techn. Markus Brillinger, for their time and the effort that they put in this project. Third, thanks to the Styrian forging company for giving me the opportunity to improve their CAD/CAM software systems, for its sympathy and attitude towards the project. Especially, to the forging die making department management and employees for their attention and collaboration towards the obtention of results. III Abstract In the following thesis a benchmark for CAD/CAM systems in the area of tool making is explained. This benchmark is adapted to the specific requirements existing in a hot-forging company located in the region of Styria (Austria). The mid-sized company demands an improvement of the current software situation to enhance the efficiency of the CAD/CAM processes and its landscape towards future digitalization processes. Due to the broad spectrum of CAD/CAM software systems existing in today’s market, it might be challenging to choose one software system that really fits to the requirements. In order to solve this situation, a benchmark is done.

  • Influence of Effective Milling Strategies on the Residual Stress
    ® 2016 a *+ *6 */01- . - / w"#$ - 9 INFLUENCE OF EFFECTIVE MILLING STRATEGIES ON THE RESIDUAL STRESS PAGÁ Marek, MALOTOVÁ Šárka, SADÍLEK Marek, PETR K Jana, ZLÁMAL Tomáš, KRATOCHVÍL Ji í VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic, EU [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract The article deals with the evaluation of residual stress after machining of surfaces using effective milling strategies programmed by CAM systems. Milling of the shaped parts containing pockets and grooves, the cutting tool must be driven into corners with lower feed rate, because angle of entry, cutting depth increase and then a chip is tamped and leaving from the place of cut is very difficult. Application of standard strategies affects the beginning of tool wear, decreased durability and tool life, raised roughness parameters of the machined surface and increased residual stress. Aspects of efficient milling strategies programmed by CAM systems allow to machine with the entire cutting length of the tool with a constant angle of entry for the entire machining time. These strategies have a positive effect on residual stress in the material. It was confirmed by the machining test of an experimental piece from material Toolox44. The residual stress was measured by non-destructive method with using the device Proto iXRD operating on the principle of X-Ray diffraction. This measurement was realized in cooperation with the Department of Machining and Manufacturing Technology at University of Žilina in Žilina. Keywords: Residual stress, X-Ray diffraction, machining, milling strategy, CAM systems 1.

From 32 to 14 Hours As a beta tester for WORKNC, they found that a new item of functionality introduced in WORKNC 2019 R1 slashed their finishing machining times by more than half on certain parts. Operating from three sites in France and one each in Turkey and Slovakia, Julien SA manufactures molds for interior linings, boot compartment trim, and roof linings, along with parts for soundproofing, foamed parts, and aluminum and textile thermal barriers. allowing us to isolate items which need to be precise, and to determine what’s feasible. “With the aid of WORKNC’s CATIA interface, we can re- establish the CATIA construction tree, which is crucial, as that data is of paramount importance to our business. WORKNC is one of the rare applications which allows this.” They then turn their attention to the number of parts they need to produce, and create the models in WORKNC, adding offset allowances, and any other details required for accurate machining.
