Geometric announces 'Machine to the Mean' capabilities for CAMWorks 2016

CAMWorks 3D CNC Machining Software automates Machining to Mean in SOLIDWORKS

Geometric announced the addition of automated 'Machine to the Mean' capabilities when working with SOLIDWORKS parts and assembly files that contain tolerance or geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T)information.

These automated mean tolerance calculation capabilities will eliminate the common practice of having to manually calculate allowances when defining CNC tool paths or the need to rebuild 3D models to mean geometry, thus eliminating potential mistakes, while saving time and money, and streamlining the transition from design to manufacturing.

Available through an upcoming, second quarter 2016 point release of CAMWorks 2016 software, the new 'Machine to the Mean' capabilities eliminate long!standing issues surrounding differences between design practices required to tolerance parts based on fit, form and function vs. manufacturing's need to machine geometry based on mean dimensions and tolerances. CAMWorks 2016 is the only mainstream CNC application that can calculate the mean tolerance and automatically generate the correct information for tool path generation.
