The newest version of PartMaker software features a full machine simulation module which allows the user to view a realistic 3D model of the machine for which they are programming a part.
This module provides improved error checking and collision detection to PartMaker users by allowing them to perform an even more robust machining simulation than currently offered. The machine model being simulated incorporates machine specific tool holders and attachments to assure that any possible collisions that could occur on the machine will be detected off-line on the user's PC. PartMaker is a Knowledge Based Machining system, allowing it to remember the tools, material and process information necessary to machine individual part features. It also improves efficiency by placing the emphasis on tool management functions.
