WorkNC v24 is a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software developed by Vero Software (now part of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence). WorkNC is a powerful CAM solution used primarily in the mold and die industry for programming CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, particularly for 2 to 5-axis milling operations.
The main purpose of WorkNC v24 is to optimize the machining process for complex and high-precision molds, dies, and other components. It provides advanced toolpath generation capabilities and simulation tools to ensure efficient and accurate machining of 3D surfaces and complex geometries.
Key features of WorkNC v24 (and other versions) include:
Automatic Toolpath Generation: WorkNC employs advanced algorithms to automatically generate toolpaths for roughing, finishing, and rest machining, reducing programming time and improving productivity.High-Speed Machining (HSM): The software offers high-speed machining strategies to optimize toolpaths and improve machining efficiency, particularly in areas with complex geometries.5-Axis Machining: WorkNC supports full 5-axis machining, allowing users to program CNC machines to approach parts from multiple angles, achieving better surface finishes and shorter machining times.Collision Detection and Simulation: The software includes collision detection and simulation tools to visualize and verify toolpaths before machining, ensuring collision-free operations and minimizing errors.Adaptive Roughing: WorkNC v24 provides adaptive roughing strategies that adjust toolpaths based on material conditions, allowing for more efficient material removal and longer tool life.Rest Machining: The software supports rest machining to optimize the machining of remaining material after previous operations, minimizing air cuts and improving machining accuracy.Automated Feature Recognition: WorkNC can automatically recognize features and geometries in 3D models, simplifying the programming process for complex parts.
WorkNC v24 is widely used in the mold and die industry, as well as in aerospace, automotive, and other manufacturing sectors where high-precision machining and surface quality are critical. It is known for its user-friendly interface, advanced toolpath optimization, and ability to handle large and complex 3D models.
