Machining Solutions

Thanks to the entire complete product portfolio and due to the easy to use knowledge based V5 architecture, CATIA V5 Machining surpasses all the existing industry proven suites of NC Manufacturing Applications.


Domain Objective

CATIA V5 Machining delivers best-in-class products and solutions that enable Manufacturing Industries to plan, detail, simulate and optimize their machining activities to build better products


Machining Domain Overview

• High efficiency in part programming... Thanks to tight integration between tool path definition and computation, tool pat h verification and output creation the user can boost production quality by machining the right part, first time. Machining operations, supported by multiple passes and levels and automated rework in roughing and finishing also enhance this ability.
  
  
• Effective change management ... This solution set possesses a high level of associability between product engineering and manufacturing processes and resources (PPR). Companies can therefore manage concurrent engineering and manufacturing flows better and reduce the length of the design to manufacturing cycle, saving cost.
  
  
• High level of automation and standardization ... By integrating the pervasive Knowledgeware capabilities of CATIA V5 (in manufacturing intent and macro storage, for example), NC products allow the capture of skills and reuse of proven manufacturing knowledge and avoid repetition. This also facilitates innovation through shortened test cycles.
  
  
• Optimized tool paths and reduced machining time ... CATIA V5 NC products offer a wide set of flexible high-speed machining operations such as concentric roughing, Z-level milling, spiral milling and 5-axis flank contouring. This decreases the time needed to execute shop floor operations.
  
  
• Easy to learn and easy-to-use products ... As a result of an intuitive user interface, users are trained faster and then use the full breadth of CATIA V5.
  
  
• Reduced administration costs and skills efforts... CATIA V5 Machining solutions can be used as a single system to cover a wide set of integrated applications, from lathe to 5-axis milling. This allows companies to institute strong, manageable and long-term partnerships with their CATIA CAM supplier.
