StructureWorks enables users to develop projects dramatically faster by automating the production of drawings and generating downstream data by way of a real time bill of materials. Employing the very latest parametric modeling technologies, StructureWorks Precast adapts all changes throughout the entire set of design documents including detailed erection and individual production drawings. The industry's current standard 2D CAD process requires that all design changes be made manually across hundreds of documents, resulting in significantly more design time and an increased chance for error. True parametric behavior is the ability to not only update the piece details when the building changes, but also to update the building from a drawing. Elevations, plan views, sections, details, piece drawings and plate drawings are a linked or synchronized 2D view of the structure. If the building changes; the shop, detail and piece production drawings will automatically update. StructureWorks Precast is the only 3-Dimensional parametric modeler built on an industry standard SQL database. Our goal is to allow the sharing of common data across the entire enterprise by synchronizing and automating all erection drawings, details, piece drawings, bills of material, and engineering content of prestressed concrete structures and components. StructureWorks is intended for use by all manufacturers of structural, architectural, utility, and site cast precast and prestressed products. Companies using the application will realize lower design costs, fewer errors and more accurate bills of materials.

MACHINING STRATEGIST is a powerful 3D CAM product that generates optimum roughing and finishing CNC toolpaths from the complex shapes generated by all major 3D modeling systems.With demands for ever-shorter lead times and improved quality, High Speed Machining (HSM) is becoming more widely adopted in many mold, tool, and die shops both in the CAD/CAM office and on the shop-floor to machine hard materials with increased feeds. MACHINING STRATEGIST has quickly become the technological leader in this area with many unique machining strategies for generating world-class machining programs. At the same time, many of these strategies can improve the productivity of older CNC machines with dramatically reduced air cutting time and programs with smooth arcs that help to maintain continuous machine tool motion.Installed in a CAD/CAM office or on the shop floor, MACHINING STRATEGIST can take your machining capabilities to new levels and productivity to new heights.

FactWork F.EE Informatik + Systeme offers an integrated, modern and forward-looking ERP software for machine building, automation and plastics processing. The ERP system is intuitively operated and customizable based upon customers' various needs. It supports the organization and handling of the complete processes from the initial offer, construction, and manufacturing to the after-sales service. The strong orientation on the handling of project business is the main benefit of FactWork. FactWork offers a bi-directional online integration to different 3D CAD systems such as SOLIDWORKS. New articles can be taken directly from SOLIDWORKS and stored in the article master of FactWork. By using a master-article, a new article can be created. Raw materials and work schedules are included. Alternatively, components and assemblies can be assigned to already existing articles in the ERP system. Identification, classification dates, and technical characteristics are adjusted between FactWork and the CAD systems. To save time and money, you can try to find similar parts and assemblies to simply copy and change them. You can initiate the exchange of the BOM directly from the CAD program. An updated index is carried along. The drawing number is stored in the article master record in FactWork so you can open the CAD drawing in FactWork after selecting the construction with the comfortable search icons.

hyperMILL -the integrated CAM solution for SolidWorks - allows the user to turn CAD designs into NC code for machining without having to leave the familiar program environment. Integrated processes with universal data models guarantee security and transparency in the production process. Familiar user interfaces simplify operation and increase user acceptance. These are the reasons why OPEN MIND Technologies AG has long been providing integration with leading CAD systems. hyperMILL for SolidWorks offers 2D, 3D, HSC, and 5-axis machining strategies and a mill turn module - and all that under one user interface. Intelligent machining strategies reduce programming and machining time, thereby cutting production costs and shortening the 'time-to-market.' This CAM solution's greatly enhanced feature technology provides numerous options for standardizing and automating the programming of recurring and similar part geometry. Machining strategies and tools can be combined as macros and stored in a graphical database, from which they can be retrieved at any time. With the collision checking and avoidance features, the programming of 5-axis tasks has become as easy as 3D programming. In 5-axis simultaneous machining, the software calculates the tool positions automatically. All the user needs to enter is a preference angle. The OPEN MIND CAM Utilities support the user from the CAM to the NC program. Features for reliably checking the CAM programs users create and the ability to quickly and easily alter tool paths -- even during the final phase -- are among some of the helpful tools provided by the OPEN MIND CAM Utilities.

The programming is based directly on the designed or imported 3D model. Because of the automatic Feature-Recognition and the assignment of integrated machining technologies and strategies OPTICAM offers a very high automation level and reduces the programming time significantly. After a very short training period a beginner can create a correct nc-program with a few clicks, while an experienced user still has the complete flexibility to intervene in every detail.OPTICAM analyses the 3D models, recognizes wireable geometries and creates their machining simultaneously. The tool paths are shown graphically and follow subsequent changes of the model immediately or can be manipulated afterwards. Too short faces are extended and face gaps are bridged. Faces and edges can also be chosen manually to wire only specific areas or to create a user-defined feature. Furthermore integrated technologies and machining strategies can be assigned to create features automatically.OPTICAM contains all machining strategies, which are required for the efficient and safe operation of Wire EDM machines. All cuts are shown in the cuts dialog and can be changed afterwards. For the secure checking of the tool paths a 3D simulation with material removal was inserted. Besides the offsetting, the clamps and machine heads are also simulated.OPTICAM has been developed in co-operation with leading CNC-machine tool companies and is being continuously improved with new machine functionality. High-quality postprocessors and technology databases are available for all CNC-controls and CNC-machines.

The goal of SheetMetalWorks is to ensure a streamlined sheet metal process chain. This includes improved commands for sheet metal design, tools that guarantee a production-ready flat pattern, and multiple export formats for CAM and CNC.At the core of SheetMetalWorks is a powerful unfolder that considers not only the material and sheet thickness but also your laser, punching, and bending machines. These factors flow into calculations, e.g., for bend deductions and bend radii. This ensures that even highly complex designs can be easily unfolded, and that the flat pattern is ready for manufacturing with minimal pre-production work.The functionality of SheetMetalWorks can be expanded with CAM interface add-ons (for TRUMPF, Bystronic, LVD, Schröder, and WiCAM) as well as with a powerful cost-calculation add-on.SPI SheetMetal Solutions also offers software support and online training courses in English and German.
