Manufacturing technologies supported by MECANIC
3D CAD Data (new)
A plug in of 3D data exchange between SpaceClaim and Mecanic has been created. SpaceClaim makes it possible to read a multitude of 3D formats. The treated data is exported. Mecanic imports data without any other intervention in to the contour factory.
EDM
The bulk of the users use MECANIC in connection with wire EDM. This technology is predominant in MECANIC. The R&D team has introduced several innovations in the domain of wire EDM:
- The no-core cut (since 1983).
- The ruled surfaces (since 1983).
- The conical surfaces (since 1989).
- The manufacturing cycles and technology libraries (since 1991).
- The small radius treatement for high precision manufacturing (since 1998).
- The technology search engine (since 2003).
- The sort of manufacturing operations (since 2003).
Milling
The milling technology has been developed to manufacture base plates for punching dies and for molds. Some important developments have been made in this sector, mainly to add a high degree of automatism for the manufacturing on machining centers.
Grinding
The technology grinding, both for complex contours or profiles, has been integrated into MECANIC, as complementing component of the technologies wire EDM and milling, for the production of tooling elements. It also contains special features which facilitate the machining of high precision mechanical components (cams, turning tools, etc.)
