WIRE-EDM for SolidWorks

WIRE-EDM

Ultra Precision Wire EDM CAD-CAM Software

Wire EDM is a complete wireframe, surface and solid modeling CAD-CAM system that delivers ultra precision cuts with superiors finishes in an easy to use CNC programming software. It allows you to create and import part models, assign wirepath strategies, simulate and generate g-code specific to your wire machine and controller. With an intuitive workflow, BobCAD makes it easy to program precision cuts for all of your tight tolerance part manufacturing. Delivering results that are consistent with the strict cutting requirements of mold making and tool & die industries.

NEW FEATURE: DOCUMENT TEMPLATES

Fast track your wire programming with user defined machining strategy templates. Save and store and load user customized machining features right from the toolpath wizard. Discover all the exciting and powerful new features in BobCAD-CAM.

WIRE FEATURES

Quickly and easily program your intricate part shapes with constant tapers, variable tapers, lands areas, sharp or radius corners using 2 and 4 axis toolpath. Use of open, closed, inside or outside cutting features defined by its wizard driven CAM technology. This powerful software allows uses customize skim passes, independent lead-ins & lead-outs, glue stops, cutting conditions and 4 axis synchronization. A complete wire EDM programming solution that works with Mitsubishi, Japax, Brother, Fanuc, Sodick and other CNC Wire EDM machines.

CAM Tree Enhancements

New workflow improves productivity, providing a better user experience for optimizing Shape Cutting Cycles for 2 & 4 Axis Wire EDM toolpath creation. Post and run faster with V34s new and improved CAM Tree navigation and workflow.

Copy with Geometry

Save time making toolpath changes by using copy with geometry for machining features. This new CAM feature allows users to copy machining features, including your geometry selection. Faster toolpath iterations are made possible by eliminating the need to reselect your geometry.

2 Axis Inside Outside or Open

Select and program shapes based on wireframe, surface edges, loops and faces. Apply a rough cut, tab cut and skim cut at the same time using BobCAD 2 Axis Wizard.

4 Axis Inside Outside or Open

Select and program shapes based on wireframe, surface edges, loops and faces. Special sync options to align the upper and lower guides. Appy a rough cut, tab cut and skim cut at the same time using BobCAD’s 4 Axis Wizard.
