SolidCAM Electrode Solution

SolidCAM´s electrode solution is fully integrated in SolidWorks. With the single-window integration of SolidCAM in SolidWorks, all electrode design and machining operations are defined, calculated and verified, without leaving the SolidWorks window. All geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SolidWorks electrode design model and the manufacturing module automatically synchronizes all machining operations, if the geometry of the electrode is modified

SolidCAM facilitates the design of  3D solid electrodes from flexible surface extensions. The software offers an easy to follow, step-by-step process and addresses all of the common types of electrodes, up  to the most complex ones. It supports existing libraries of blanks and holders and generates full documentation for the EDM operator. Even the most experienced electrode designer will benefit from the knowledge-driven automation provided by SolidCAM.
 

Once the electrode design is finished, SolidCAM starts the machining of the electrode in the SolidWorks window.
SolidCAM supports a wide range of 2.5D Milling, 3D Milling and High Speed Machining (HSM) strategies for the machining of every electrode. Machining templates are used to automate the manufacturing of electrodes for both rough and finish stages, using the same geometry.
 
SolidCAM´s Electrode solution provides the right combination of automation and user-control to finish the electrodes with high quality and in time. Moldmakers will benefit from this tool that drastically streamlines the electrode manufacturing process.
