Sescoi Becomes a SolidWorks® Solution Provider
Sescoi has taken the opportunity of “Industrie”, Europe’s top industrial manufacturing show taking place in Paris this week, to announce that it has become a SolidWorks Solution Provider with its WorkNC® 3-5 axis automated CAD/CAM system.
“Engineers don’t have time to worry about software complexity or the problem of integrating data between separate applications” said Nick Iwaskow, SolidWorks Manager, Alliances. The WorkNC 3-5 axis automated CAD/CAM system allows users to quickly and accurately read native SolidWorks files and program machining toolpaths in a few mouse clicks.
As WorkNC is gaining more and more customers from an increasing diverse range of industries such as medical, energy, and consumer electronics, Sescoi sees this interoperability with SolidWorks as critically important.
Being previewed at the Paris Industrie show this week, WorkNC Version 21 with 64-bit processing will enable the greater memory available in the latest hardware to be fully harnessed, while the multi-threading and multi-processing of tasks will enable several algorithms to run in parallel. For large SolidWorks and other CAD models, this extra processing power means that calculations could run up to 10 times faster, particularly on roughing operations.
SolidWorks 2010 is focused on optimizing core design functions so users can more quickly and intelligently achieve their goals. It also includes hundreds of new enhancements specifically requested by customers. The new version of SolidWorks improves designers’ and engineers’ productivity with new capabilities like rapid dimensions, enhanced mirrored components, and heads-up mouse gesturing. These capabilities let designers and engineers work smarter and faster while minimizing menu navigation.
