CATIA - 3 Axis Surface Machining 2 (SMG) easily defines 3-axis milling and drilling operations. High Speed Milling Technology is supported for all milling operations.Quick tool path definition is ensured thanks to an intuitive user interface based on graphic dialog boxes. Tools can be easily created and stored in tool catalogs. Entire manufacturing process is covered from tool path definition and computation, tool path verification including material removal simulation to NC code and shop floor documentation generation. Instant Cycle Update Technology (TM) allows fast tool path update after modification. Associativity with CATIA design parts allows efficient change management.
