PartMaker Inc., a division of Delcam Plc,will demonstrate its latest version of PartMaker Software for programming CNC mills, lathes, wire EDM, turn-mill centers and Swiss-type lathes at PMTS 2013 in Columbus, OH, April 16 - 18, 2013. Additionally, Part- Maker Inc. Division President Hanan Fishman will be a keynote speaker at the adjoining PMPA National Tech Conference immediately preceding the show, discussing the benefits and potential pitfalls in working with solid models for precision manufacturers. Restyled User Interface PartMaker Version 2013 features a sleeker, restyled user interface. Headlining the improvements in the user interface in PartMaker 2013 is the Job Explorer tree,which is designed tomake navigating Machining Function Face Windows and Part Features faster. Additionally, a number of new controls have been added to the software tomake working more intuitive. Also, a number of diagrams in the software have been recast and revamped to give PartMaker 2013 a fresh new look. PartMaker 2013 has retained the software’s traditional workflow so existing users will not have to worry about any relearning. Advanced Surface Machining (ASM) Module The new high-end milling functionality available in PartMaker Version 2013 is known as the Advanced Surface Machining module (ASM).ASMreplaces PartMaker’s SurfaceMachiningWizard (SMW)module for surfacemachining of free form shapes. For existing PartMaker users, the upgrade to ASM will be provided free of cost. The ASM Module is designed to allow for faster tool path calculation, greater tool control and improved surface finishes, among other benefits. TheASMmodule features a variety of high-end milling strategies that can be applied across the entire suite of PartMaker CAM applications including PartMaker Mill, PartMaker Turn- Mill and PartMaker SwissCAM. The surface machining strategies in ASM are the same as those found in Power- MILL, Delcam’s CAM system for the manufacture of complex shapes. PartMaker is a Knowledge Based Machining system designed for enhanced programming efficiency by remembering the tools, material and process information necessary to machine individual part features. It thus relieves the user from reentering the same features information for subsequent parts. It also helps improve productivity by placing the emphasis on tool management functions.
