CMMWorks Brings off-line CMM Programming Capabilities to SolidWorks 2005 Software
AccuMetria announces the official release of CMMWorks version 1.7, an affordable off-line coordinate measuring machine (CMM) programming and simulation software package integrated into SolidWorks® 2005 3D mechanical design software. Engineers and manufacturers use CMMWorks and SolidWorks to inspect parts and assemblies so they can create better products faster and more accurately, speeding time to market.
Version 1.7 of CMMWorks features new probe path creation tools, more user customization and additional CMM language post-processors. A SolidWorks Solution Partner product, CMMWorks now contains additional tools to inspect surface profiles and to update these surface inspection paths when the CAD model geometry changes. CMMWorks 1.7 also features new geometry feature support and enhancements to program error checking, user interface and probe motion simulation.
CMMWorks reduces CMM downtime, allows direct use of original SolidWorks geometry, and helps prevent probe collisions through the use of CMM motion simulation. CMMWorks uses dimension and tolerance information directly from the SolidWorks model, drawing or assembly. Full on-line documentation and tutorials are provided, as are integrated post processors for DMIS 4.0, GeoMeasure, Tutor and MicroMeasure 4. With an easy to use graphical user interface, CMMWorks has an intuitive and powerful environment for creating and editing CMM part programs. CMMWorks can also import CAD geometry from sources such as STEP, IGES, ACIS, SAT and others.
AccuMetria develops and markets manufacturing automation software for off-line programming CMMs. Established in August 2002, AccuMetria's founders have over 30 years experience in engineering, metrology and manufacturing software development and support.
