Mould and die maker said it does not have to worry about a crash with WorkNC CAM as it is very reliable and its performance is superior to other CAM systems it has used.

Despite tougher trading conditions for Japanese die and mold makers, 61% of the companies surveyed intended to invest during 2008 to cut costs, improve quality and shorten delivery times.
They showed particular interest in 5-axis machining, which they saw as helping them to fuel overseas expansion which was planned by 27% of the sample.
WorkNC offers its 5-axis routines including Auto 5, which automatically translates 3-axis movements into 5-axis toolpaths.
It allows companies to machine more of the part in one setting with shorter and more rigid cutters.

The main aims of G3 are to make the system more intuitive in its operation, and the already extensive toolpath editing capabilities even more powerful.

The new developments in the latest version of WorkNC and our 5-axis capability fit well with the trends revealed in the survey, enabling us to continue to offer Japanese die and mold makers the most productive CAM system in the industry.".
