We have exciting news for SOLIDWORKS users! Starting in November, every seat of SOLIDWORKS, either 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS or SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD, will now include DELMIA Shop Floor Programmer at no additional cost.
Shop Floor Programmer enables engineering teams to validate designs for manufacturing earlier in the development cycle. This significantly reduces revisions and change actions as products are brought to market, thus enhancing productivity and lowering development costs.
Shop Floor Programmer benefits manufacturing engineers and CNC programmers by providing:
- Nesting: Quickly examine how well your design fits on a sheet or multiple sheets with industry-standard nesting capabilities. This tool provides an efficient way to minimize wasted material, increase profits and improve manufacturing sustainability. Nesting is revision-managed, ensuring your design and production meetings are productive and prototype production or final component manufacturing is streamlined.
- Manufacturability Checker: With the increase in 3D printing, designing for both additive and subtractive manufacturing processes is essential. The Manufacturability Checker lets you quickly validate whether your current design is best for additive or subtractive manufacturing. This feature allows users to confirm if their current design will fit inside a specific CNC machine.
- Fixture Design/CNC Programming: allows manufacturing engineers to design and program tooling and fixtures in one environment. This cohesiveness minimizes lost time between design and programming.
By implementing Shop Floor Programmer, all your manufacturing files are secure, accessible, and traceable from engineering through the G-Code file that is produced. Having complete control over all previous design/CNC program revisions boosts efficiency, improves communication and ultimately results in a smoother manufacturing process.
