JETCAM Releases v16.06.00 of JETCAM Expert

By DE Editors

JETCAM International s.a.r.l. (Monaco) released version 16.06.00 of JETCAM Expert CADCAM nesting software for all punching and profiling machines.

Following from the initial v16 release in 2008, the latest version adds new features and connectivity benefiting customers at various ends of the manufacturing scale.

Tool teaching facilities have been added, which allows JETCAM Expert Premium systems to intelligently learn a user’s tooling or profiling preferences. Once the preferences have been learned, further parameters can be applied — such as the ability to allow or deny part mirroring or rotation. All subsequent parts that are tooled in the future that require the saved tooling style can then be processed automatically, saving time and reducing the possibility of error.

Automation from different CAD systems has been enhanced, with import filters added for Solid Edge, SolidWorks and Autopol now available. When used in conjunction with JETCAM’s automated features such as SCAP (Single Component Automatic Processing) complete directories of CAD files can be imported, tooled, nested, and NC code generated.

Finishing cut sequences, which appeared in the initial v16 release has been further enhanced, with features such as separate horizontal and vertical settings for start corner and direction.

Other features include web nesting, a number of machine specific features and support for several new machines. JETCAM Expert v16 is available free to all customers with a current maintenance contract.
