EMO 2013: Geometric to unleash new automation solutions

Geometric Limited is all set to preview the latest enhancements for DFMPro, its automated design validation tool and CAMWorks, which is an intuitive solids-based CNC programming solution at EMO 2013. With the focus on providing customers with the most effective tools to reduce time to market, Geometric presents solutions that focus on reducing non-value add time right from the design stage to manufacturing process planning and final shop floor delivery.

Geometric will showcase its award-winning product DFMPro, a unique solution that identifies and enables designers to fix manufacturability related issues at the design stage itself. Today, design engineers spend around 30% or more time on rework due to an iterative product development process, which impacts costs and time to market. Organizations, typically, have manual design review processes, which include filling checklists, referring handbooks and one-to-one discussions that differ from deparent to deparent. Most of these manual checks are time consuming and error prone.

EMO visitors will get a chance to see CAMWorks VoluMill in action on a Haas milling machine at Geometric’s booth. This ultra-high performance tool path has provided cycle time savings of as much as 80% while maintaining tool life. This has been made possible by maintaining uniform chip formation and superior heat dissipation.
