Geometric to Demonstrate CAMWorks 2010 and DFMPro Version 2.1 at DieMould India 2010
Geometric Limited will demonstrate machining automation with its products - CAMWorks® and DFMPro at Booth #A28 at DieMould India 2010 to be held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon in Mumbai, India from March 18-21, 2010.
“DieMould India offers a great platform to communicate directly with toolmakers and manufacturers, and to showcase how they can improve their productivity by using intelligent automation tools like Geometric’s – CAMWorks and DFMPro”, said Sambit Pradhan, Business Development Manager, Desktop Products, Geometric.
CAMWorks’ feature based machining and knowledge based machining technology, TechDB™ (Technology Database) are designed to significantly reduce the time required to generate machining strategies and processes for Tool and Die Industry. The technology database automatically associates tooling, operation strategies, and machining parameters to the features. To further enhance the automation process, the knowledge-based rules in the TechDB are fully customizable to apply company’s best practices.
DFMPro facilitates mold designers and manufacturing engineers to do upstream manufacturability validation and identification of areas of a design that are difficult, expensive or impossible to manufacture; thereby, reducing rework with a view to minimize costs of production and time to market without compromising on the product quality.
Geometric will be demonstrating the latest versions of these two products, CAMWorks 2010 and DFMPro version 2.1 at the event:
CAMWorks 2010 has over 50 new features and advancements for machining faster and more accurately. This release also has significant advances in 3 axis functionality, as well as new features and cutting strategies for 2 to 5 axis milling, turning, and wire EDM. CAMWorks, the first CAM software to offer knowledge-based feature recognition and associative machining capabilities, continuously enhances its features in line with customer feedback and requirements, and to better integrate with the SolidWorks platform.

DFMPro version 2.1 adds an injection molding module packed with industry-wide rules for ensuring manufacturability of injection molded components. The rules cover draft analysis, undercuts, mold wall thickness, ribs, and bosses, amongst others. CAD users will be able to verify their designs within ProENGINEER, and SolidWorks, thus reducing cost and time-to-market, while also improving the quality of manufactured parts. DFMPro also facilitates collaborative design review process by generating comprehensive 3D reports in eDrawings format. This capability is very useful for suppliers who can quickly generate eDrawings reports and share it with the OEM for their review, comments and acceptance.
