en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hexagon's Production Software division in the UK has released the latest version of Edgecam, focusing on accelerating CNC programming verification, improving collaboration between programming and production teams, and simplifying software interaction. This version introduces multiple features designed to help manufacturers cope with increasingly complex machining strategies and tight delivery deadlines.
Product Manager Zoltan Tomoga stated: "At the shop floor level, the pressure remains the same: get the job done right and keep it running. The latest Edgecam release is dedicated to eliminating delays in everyday programming tasks." Simulation performance has been significantly improved, with snapshots stored at each tool change, reducing rollback time in complex tasks from around 30 seconds to nearly 1 second. Furthermore, even without an Edgecam license, operators can interactively view full 3D machine tool simulations in a browser, zooming, rotating, and adjusting playback speed to better understand workpiece operations before machining.
Beyond verification improvements, Edgecam enhances machining performance through enhanced toolpath cycles, including support for lens tools, smoother lead-in motions, improved collision avoidance, and expanded racetrack line control. These optimizations help programmers generate efficient toolpaths, improve surface quality, and reduce manual adjustments. This version also introduces Hexagon Copilot, providing natural language assistance to help programmers more easily ask questions, locate functions, and obtain guidance. Tomoga added: "Manufacturers are interested in AI, but they are also pragmatic. Copilot is designed to make the system easier to navigate and learn, helping programmers get more out of Edgecam."
Overall, the latest Edgecam version is dedicated to addressing common challenges in modern machining environments, helping workshops move from part models to production-ready NC code, reducing delays, increasing visibility, and building confidence before the first cut.
