Part modeller is cost-effective
With the launch by Pathtrace of the EdgeCAM Part Modeler, manufacturing engineers using EdgeCAM Solid Machinist will now have access to an easy to use and low cost solids modelling program.
Pathtrace Engineering Systems has sold EdgeCAM Part Modeler under license since 2000.
"Having direct control over development is seen as a very positive move for both Pathtrace Customers and Resellers," said Brian Steatham, Pathtrace Managing Director.
EdgeCAM Part Modeler enables quick and simple construction or editing of 3D solid models.
It benefits manufacturing engineers by providing a cost effective and immediate solid CAD facility, complete with fully associative drafting capability.
"Many of our users have a need to modify customer's parts, to enable manufacture," continues Steatham.
"These modifications are often minor, and the power and complexity available in design solutions provided by mainstream solid CAD producers is simply not needed.
EdgeCAM Part Modeler is a perfect solution for users of CAM software who have a need to construct or visualize workholding systems, such as turning chucks or milling jigs and fixtures.".
