NC Manufacturing Infrastructure in a Nutshell |
|
NC Manufacturing Solutions enable you to define and
manage NC programs dedicated to machining parts designed in 3D wireframe
or solids geometry using 2.5 to 5-axis machining techniques. It offers an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn graphic interface that makes it suitable for shop floor-oriented use. Moreover, its leading edge technologies together with a tight integration with Version 5 design methodologies and DELMIA's digital manufacturing environment, fully satisfy the requirements of office programming. NC Manufacturing is a unique solution that reconciliates office and shop floor activities. An integrated Post Processor engine allows the product to cover the whole manufacturing process from tool trajectory (APT source or Clfile) to NC data. NC Manufacturing Infrastructure offers the following main functions:

Before Reading this Guide |
|
Before reading this guide, you should be familiar with basic Version 5 concepts such as document windows, standard and view toolbars. Therefore, we recommend that you read the Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all Version 5 products. It also describes the general layout of V5 and the interoperability between workbenches. | |
Getting the Most Out of this Guide |

To get the most out of this guide, we suggest that you
start reading and performing the step-by-step scenarios in the
User Tasks section, which gives relevant
information about the common functionalities of NC Manufacturing
Solutions. The Reference section provides
useful complementary information. The Workbench Description section, which describes the commands that are common to NC Manufacturing Solutions, and the Customizing section, which explains how to customize your Machining environment, and the Methodology section, which provides useful information about recommended work methods, will also certainly prove useful. |
