Edgecam Part Modeler and Edgecam

Call David 07834 858 407

At the CNC Training Centre we offer training on Edgecam Part Modeler and Edgecam.

Where we have been most effective in training companies and employees is in the full integration of the Edgecam suite of programs.

Edgecam Part Modeler

 


The Edgecam powerful suite of Programs,

  • Solid modelling in Part Modeler.
  • Edgecam Designer
  • Create CNC code with Edgecam.
  • Edit CNC program Editor.
  • With PartXplore you can interrogate models in any format and produce assemblies and all kinds of shit.
  • You can build your own fully modeled fully functional tool store.
  • Edgecam comes with an easy to use wizard for creating fully modeled post processors from a template or from scratch.

We can help you to use Edgecam to transport you into the present.

Modelling fixtures and tooling to create meaningful simulation.

You will save hours in lost production through collisions and errors at the coal face.


Training

  • We can teach you how to easily design simple fixtures on the fly.
  • Test them.
  • Adjust them and import clamps and fittings off the shelf
  • All this without cutter touching metal and most of all without production loss and collision.

Here is a tutorial video that explains all about how you can easily move things around in Part Modeler

It’s really easy once you understand the rules.

Roughing Edgecam (Centre Cutting Tool)

It is really annoying when you simulate a part and you can’t figure out why Edgecam is showing a collision and you don’t know why.

When using the ROUGHING CYCLE it is important to tell Edgecam that the tool is centre cutting as this will change the cutter path.

Tick this box if the cutter is centre cutting. Most modern endmills do cut on centre so you can plunge them down.

It’s important because if you get this wrong in the real world the cutter will get very hot!

Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial 1: Setting Up Your Interface

Category : Edgecam

Edgecam Part Modeler

(Call David 075834 858 407)

Edgecam Part Modeler tutorial.Tells you how to customize your interface for ease of use.

Setting up the interface on any software is really important. It’s one of those things you never seem to get around to. Like cutting your toenails then you get a hole in your sock and you think “I need to do this shit”

Get On With It

Once it’s done you get hours of fun. Think of all those wasted moves and drop down menus you won’t have to worry about.

I call it wasting time to save time. It might take you half an hour to do this but once it’s done every time you use your software you save a few more seconds.

Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial

Imagine you have a family of parts to create models for. The parts are all of a similar shape but the sizes vary in sizes.

Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial
Rotating Washers

This Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial Video explains how to link your model to an XL Spread Sheet.

For simplicity I am using a washer but it could be something far more complex.

In this Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial the thickness, bore diameter, outside diameter and chamfer size are listed for eight washers in a spread sheet. This spread sheet links to Part Modeler and you can add as many washers as you choose and vary the sizes.

One of my big projects over the last few years has been creating Macro Programmes for the machining of wedding rings. People who know me are saying “did they really trust him with all that precious metal“.

Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial
Gold Bars

A wedding ring is quite a simple thing to produce on a CNC Lathe or so I thought. The customer then happened to mention that there were 250 styles. He needed to produce them in six different materials and in every size.

Try one if you want to get married all you need is a partner.

A quick bit of maths there are 143 sizes, 250 styles. Oh dear that’s like millions of programmes.

The clever ones amongst you already feel a Macro Programme coming on. I have love hate relationship with Macros.

Use them correctly and you have a very powerful tool. Used wrongly as they often are, they are a recipe for collisions and bullshit.

One of my Golden Rules is never over complicate CNC Code for your customer ie the CNC Setter Operator. Anyway no more ranting. This wedding ring Macro is a masterpiece and has been developed over nearly three years.

Hear is something you might not know. Edgecam Part Modeler can calculate weights if given the density of the material.

How cool is that?

Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial
Get Weight

Anyway that was where I got thinking about linking a spreadsheet to Part Modeler (here is another video). The spreadsheet contains all the data for the wedding rings (all 250 of them) in any size.

By clicking on  a ring the model is produced and the weight calculated. I can’t actually show you this because of confidentiality agreements. It’s not like I am the James Bond of CNC Programming. But they would kill me if I told you how it’s done.

Anyway I know that once you see this Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial your imagination will run away. It is a part of my job I really love. Seeing people learn something and then go on to put it to use.

I am lucky enough to work with people who are often way more creative and intelligent than me. Once they are given the tools to work with anything can happen.

Watch this Edgecam Part Modeler Tutorial and release your creative skills.
