Part Xplore Edgecam never let me down with their ability to keep improving and advancing their software. Now they added Part Xplore to the suite of software. I am going to be using this no end in my videos and am so excited I had to make a movie about it.
Edgecam Part Modeler is once part of the Edgecam suite of programmes. You can create solid models very easily with Edgecam Part Modeler from simple line drawings.
You can move straight into Edgecam from Edgecam Part Modeler and start machining your component.
The brilliant thing is that through associativity you can alter the model and Edgecam will immediately know that you altered it in Part Modeler.
The video below is about how you can build assemblies. This could be something like a fixture with all its bolts and clamps.
This could be one complete assembly and you could move it around and do all sorts of things to it as a single unit.
You can also have sub-assemblies which are assemblies inside assemblies.
Edgecam Tutorial Assemblies and Filters
The great thing is that if, for example, you make a clamp, a bolt and a nut as a single assembly, when you get into Edgecam and you need to move them over a bit you can easily move them in one go as a single unit.
All you would have to worry about is filling in the hole you left behind and creating a new one in the new position.
It’s really easy to drag and drop bits or full assemblies around. That means you can take a part and move it into a different assembly very easily.
Make sure you are using the latest version of Edgecam. This software is rapidly evolving. You can spend a small fortune on tooling and CNC machines. Your CAD CAM system can make you fire on all cylinders.

Edgecam maintenance contracts represent very good value for money and they entitle you to Edgecam support.
This tutorial is about Edgecam Associativity it’s not really a tutorial.
It’s about the concept of Edgecam Associativity in solid modelling. It shows how you can create a model in your solid modelling system which can be transferred straight through to your programming system.
