SOFTWARE UPDATE
This new platform is a fully-scalable vehicle design solu- tion that adopts engineering VDI globally, using servers with the most advanced graphics processing, high-performance storage, software and network acceleration technology. Nissan will initially use it at two development centers: Nissan
Technical Center North America and Nissan Technical Center Europe. The VDI platform uses Siemens NX design and Team- center PLM software, Citrix XenDesktop desktop virtualization technology and HP workstation graphics, storage and software. CAM software developer CNC Software Inc. (Tolland,
CT) and Sandvik Coromant (Fair Lawn, NJ) on Dec. 21 an- nounced the companies will work together to integrate Sand- vik’s Adveon tool library into CNC Software’s Mastercam. Adveon will help Mastercam users to further improve machining productivity while saving setup time. By reducing the engineer’s input, both consistency and quality of data are improved. The Adveon library has standardized methodol- ogy, and is designed specifically to facilitate quick and safe CAM programming, allowing users to develop their own
tool library; select tools for production; build tool assemblies quickly and safely; see immediate results in 2D and 3D mod- els; and instantly export to Mastercam Tool Manager. Adveon works with any tooling supplier that bases their catalog on ISO 13399, assuring accuracy of geometrical information.
New Releases
CAM developer Vero Software (Cheltenham, UK) on Dec. 16 announced the release of PartXplore 2016 R1, a high-speed, all-format 3D viewer that includes many options for viewing and part analysis—without requiring the original CAD application. PartXplore can open the native files of Edgecam, VISI and
WorkNC, with further brands in the Vero portfolio expected to follow suit in 2016 R2. The PartXplore software has been cre- ated to efficiently import and analyze all file types and sizes at high speed. It often takes less than half the time to open a file compared to the original CAD application.
