*CAD-CLEAN A Smart CAD feature that eliminates the need to spend time on messy files (that can also create machines stoppages). Also automatically optimizes them ready for cutting. A great productivity tool and an extremely popular feature among users.
*CAD-COMPRESS Another popular feature because many CAD systems produce arcs as many small line movements which is unsuitable. This feature reduces entities and replaces them with true lines and arcs. CAD file sizes can often drop 80-90%. They even cut better as well!
*CNC BACK TO CAM/DXF Has been invaluable to users when they've lost their original drawing files!
*DXF IMPORT AND EXPORT Data eXchange format. Most commonly used file format for transferring files between CAD systems. (A BULK facility is included in the Professional version of FastCAM® NC).
*IGES IMPORT & EXPORT International Graphics Exchange System. Similar but more powerful file format than DXF. Usually found in very large systems.
*MULTI-PROCESS SUPPORT Cutting, Marking, Drilling, Tapping etc. Detection from external CAD files by layer.
*PART EXTRACTION FROM CAD FILES Click and extract individual parts from larger drawings. (FastCAM® Professional)
*AUTOMATICALLY extracts all parts from *DXF drawings AND produces a CUTTING LIST for AUTOMATIC NESTING).
*AUTOCAD DWG IMPORT** Dead easy. Verify before cutting! Also saves having a separate CAD system just to read customer files. |
