MetaCAM taking the Australian Sheetmetal Industry to the next level
April 9, 2010, 1:44 pm
We might have slowly started hearing about new sheet metal software called MetaCAM in Australia in the recent past. Looks like it’s going to make big news in the coming days in the manufacturing market because of its immense capabilities that can increase productivity and profits especially in a Sheetmetal industry.
Here are some of the few reasons why
2D CAD
MetaCAM’s easy to use and powerful drafting system helps you breeze through part creation. Intelligent Snaps, Automatic construction Lines, library of canned shapes and user defined parametrics are few of many powerful CAD functions in MetaCAM.
3D CAD
MetaCAM’s 3D Sheetmetal modeler can
- read IGES, STEP, Solidedge and Solidworks native 3D models,
- Automatically create boxes, Mitered corners,
- Model and unfold wed and hemming flanges, etc.
Laser/ Profile CAM
MetaCAM’s engine for laser, plasma, router and water-jet machine helps to get the most out of profile cutting machines. Sophisticated technology tables optimize machine parameters after analyzing parts.
Punch CAM
- Sophisticated auto tooling engine minimizes manual intervention
- Color coded graphical turret and tool library for easy operation.
- Automatic chute assignment
- Supports multiple tool libraries and tool collections based on make and model of tooling.
Nesting
MetaCAM’s nesting engine has a pallet of nesting algorithms to suit different needs. The tight integration with MetaCAM offers benefits that third party nesting engines can never match. Reading Parts, the nesting engine can directly generate nested sheets and greatly simplify workflow.
MRP Integration and Automation
Report Generation, etc.
Metamation the developers of MetaCAM have recently released MetaWorks-SW which ties the core engine of MetaCAM seamlessly into the SolidWorks design environment. So companies who are using Solidworks since years can take the best advantage of MetaCAM within SolidWorks.
