I-DEAS Generative Machining
software provides unprecedented tools for capturing the manufacturing planning, tooling, and NC programming tasks in a single, unified system. Using electronically-stored knowledge (or rules), as well as the experiences of your NC programmers and machinists, I-DEAS intelligently generates tools motion and machine instructions. Because it encompasses the complete machining environment, it generates tool paths that avoid gouging the parts or colliding with clamps or fixtures, maintains tolerances, optimizes motion, and minimizes tool wear. Continuously evolving stock models facilities communication and verification by depicting that state of the stock after each machining operation. Embedded system knowledge seamlessly updates NC programs to account for design changes.
