CIMCO Edit Integration with SolidCAM

We are pleased to announce that CIMCO Edit 2024 can now be seamlessly integrated with SolidCAM.

This integration provides SolidCAM users with easy and direct access to true G-Code simulation in CIMCO Edit, including backplot/solid simulation, and machine simulation.

With this integration, you can effortlessly transfer tools, work offsets, and geometry from SolidCAM directly into CIMCO Edit. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces the risk of costly errors during production. By visualizing toolpaths and machine operations in a simulated environment, manufacturers can optimize their CAM programs before the NC code even hits the shop floor.

The enhanced workflow and efficiency from the close integration between SolidCAM and CIMCO Edit is set to revolutionize the way manufacturers approach design, simulation, and production, significantly boosting efficiency, accuracy, and ultimately, safety.

Key Features

Ultrafast Solid Simulation:
With CIMCO Edit 2024, SolidCAM users can run a full stock simulation from start to finish in just a few seconds or faster, even on complex parts. Utilizing the power of modern GPUs, you can even run the simulation in real-time at the highest quality and see the stock update as it happens…all whilst simulating NC code.

Comprehensive Machine Simulation:
Users can visualize the entire machining process, including tool movements, potential collisions and over travel limit errors. Prove-out the NC program on a 3D model of your CNC machine and see the exact movement of components such as heads, spindles, and even peripheral devices. Syntax errors are also reported providing insights that improve machining strategies and reduce downtime.

User-Friendly Interface:
The integration features an intuitive interface that simplifies navigation between the two programs, making it easy for users to adopt the new workflow without extensive training. A one click approach which minimizes user interaction and increases output.

Error Reduction:
By simulating the NC code before sending it to the physical machine, users can identify and rectify potential issues, significantly reducing waste and enhancing production quality.
