Sescoi Launches New Dental Software at Industrie 2009

Sescoi will be launching its new WorkNC Dental Labs software in the French market, and demonstrating its new entry level CAM/CAD solution WorkNC 3X, at the Industrie Lyon 2009 exhibition from 10-13th March in Hall 6 Stand G038.

Additionally, the Company will be previewing the latest version of its automatic CAM/CAD software, WorkNC V20, launching in late spring.

Other productivity solutions being demonstrated on the stand include Sescoi’s Industrie 2008 award-winnng CAD Viewer, WorkXPlore-3D which includes a free version, as well as its WorkPLAN ERP and MyWorkPLAN job management systems for custom manufacturing.

WorkNC Dental Labs is Sescoi’s new “one-button CAM” system designed specifically to meet the needs of dental healthcare professionals when producing prosthetic dental implants. Working from STL or dental CAD data, the system orientates and nests the prosthesis. The system then automatically applies 3-axis and 5-axis toolpaths that have been optimized to suit the special materials and types of prosthesis used in the industry in order to produce collision free and precise results without specialist machining experience. Visitors to the show will be able to see a WorkNC Dental live machining demonstration on the Sescoi stand.

Sescoi’s WorkNC 3X is a fast track solution that has been exclusively created for smaller companies or companies needing complementary capability. Along with WorkNC’s famed ease to use, the 3X solution includes a number of the core 2 and 3-axis toolpaths available in the full WorkNC product, including automatic 3-axis roughing and finishing, contour and pencil machining, and automated drilling and tapping. CAD translators enable users to work directly with models and drawings supplied by customers, and it’s easy to use graphical user interface makes it possible for engineers to be productive virtually immediately.

Demonstrations of the WorkNC V20 pre-release version will enable visitors to Sescoi’s stand to see the productivity enhancements that await them in this latest version of this automatic CAM/CAD system. Roughing, finishing and drilling toolpaths have all been optimized to include improvements such as interactive drilling, conical tool support and New toolpaths, Global Finishing and Undercut Finishing, which will shorten programming times and give engineers greater control and capability. WorkNC V20 sees some major improvements in 5-axis machining. Many more cutter types are now supported, including lollipop, dovetail and disk cutter, while a new 5-axis spiral finishing strategy machines the whole part, including undercuts, in one operation.

On display on the Sescoi stand, there will be a display of a range of showcase WorkNC-machined parts including the breathtaking Japanese Samurai helmet that turned heads at Euromold.

Visitors to the Industrie show will have the opportunity to witness WorkNC in action on various complex parts with live machining taking place on Sescoi’s machine tool partner stands, whilst on the CETIM (French industrial and mechanical technical center) booth, there will be a screening of live WorkNC machining taking place at CETIM’s St Etienne technical center.

With many years' business, engineering and software development experience, Sescoi understands customers' requirements, helps them master the challenges of new software implementation and build their business long-term.
