Engineering Geometry Systems (EGS) license MachineWorks and are set to preview the new technology at WESTEC 2001

EGS are to preview version 8 of FeatureCAM, featuring MachineWorks the industry leading simulation/verification technology, in March at WESTEC 2001, Los Angeles, USA

SHEFFIELD, UK - February 15, 2001 - LightWork Design, the worldwide leader in component 3D visualization and simulation software, announced today that the US' based CAM developer, EGS has licensed MachineWorks for its FeatureCAM CAM solution.

EGS President, Glenn McMinn, commented, "by using MachineWorks technology in v8, toolpath simulation has been considerably improved across the entire FeatureCAM range. MachineWorks' solid modeling means any 3D simulation can now be paused and instantaneously rotated or scaled. FeatureCAM now can accurately simulate 4th axis milling, tombstone milling or turn/milling where the part is rotating during milling."

EGS' move to utilizing a solid modeler allows for a fully realistic turning simulation rather than the previous pixel-based static geometric approximation. Machinists can also use the solid modeling function to define clamps and fixtures, the subsequent simulation then displaying any potential collisions. A further functional improvement is in FeatureMILL3D, where a rapid simulation option now immediately notifies the user of any collisions or gouges instead of taking a long time to run through.

FeatureCAM supports turning and 2 & 3 axis milling, and is developed at EGS' headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
