CAD/CAM Software Further Reduces Human Intervention

February 24, 2015 Products

Release 2015 from Striker Systems recognizes part features requiring special tool operations, optimizes tool paths better when nesting, and uses automatic tool loading and re-punching of parts to handle moves between tool setups.

The software includes a new interface that quickly modifies tool path parameters assigned to individual parts or across nested layouts.

Striker Systems (White House, TN), a world leader in the development of CAD/CAM and nesting software for sheet metal fabrication, is pleased to announce Release 2015 of its flagship STRIKER CAD/CAM & Nesting Software.

The focus of STRIKER 2015 is further automation of processes that often require CNC programmer intervention. For punching applications this includes more intelligent recognition of part features that require special tool operations, more comprehensive tool path optimization during automated nesting processes, and advancements in automatic tool loading and re-punching of parts to accommodate movement between different tool setups.

Advancements in profile cutting applications include fully automatic placement and laser etching of part numbers and other relevant data, improved tool path optimization algorithms, and an all new interface to quickly modify tool path parameters assigned to individual parts or across nested layouts. Additional STRIKER 2015 enhancements include further improvements to the PARTshare interface for SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, and Autodesk® Inventor, and overall interface advancements to streamline programming processes.

“Our goal with each new release is to take our customers another step closer to total automation of their programming processes,” states Michael Boggs, the vice president of sales for Striker Systems. “Release 2015 is another important step toward that goal.”
