Learn How to Use AdvantEdge Software

By DE Editors

Third Wave Systems provides machining modeling software used to optimize both traditional and state-of-the-art machining processes. The company’s flagship product, AdvantEdge FEM, is a CAE software solution for the optimization of metal cutting.

AdvantEdge Production Module integrates workpiece material properties, CAD/CAM inputs, and machine dynamics. Combining these factors allows users to improve cycle times, avoid unnecessary capital equipment expenditures, and maximize machine performance, according to the company.

Third Wave Systems will be hosting an AdvantEdge workshop on May 12, 2009, in Fort Worth, Texas at the Marriott Solana. The workshop will be immediately followed by the company's annual International Users Conference. All are invited to stay and attend the event (registration required), which showcases current research efforts and software applications, and includes networking and new software feature training. There is no cost to attend the workshop; however, lodging and meals are the responsibility of the attendee.

Attendees are encouraged to gather their own process data to begin setup and analysis within the AdvantEdge software. Those interested in exploring AdvantEdge FEM should bring STEP files/tool geometries and cutting conditions; those interested in exploring AdvantEdge Production Module should bring tool paths, tool lists, and solid models of parts to be machined. Course instructors will be available to assist in project setups.
