Geometric to unveil CAMWorks® 2010 and DFMPro 2.1 at SolidWorks World 2010

Scottsdale, Arizona, January 05, 2010: Geometric Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Geometric Limited and a leader in developing advanced manufacturing softwares will showcase the upcoming releases of CAMWorks® and DFMPro at SolidWorks World 2010, booth #425 , in Anaheim Convention Center, CA, USA from January 31 - February 3, 2010. Both CAMWorks and DFMPro are seamlessly integrated within the SolidWorks® platform, enabling intelligence and automation in design as well as manufacturing processes.

Announcing the new versions, Dr. Vinay Kulkarni, Vice President and Head – Desktop Products and Technologies, Geometric said, “In this current global scenario, manufacturing companies are searching for ways to automate their processes, compress delivery times, and reduce inefficiencies. In order to achieve these goals, they are looking for novel solutions for trapping manufacturing errors early in the design stage, and for effective collaboration between designing and manufacturing. This can be easily facilitated by using integrated SolidWorks solutions like DFMPro and CAMWorks.”

CAMWorks 2010 has over 50 customer driven features and enhancements for machining faster and more accurately. These include advances to feature recognition, advances in multi-axis machining, as well as improved cutting strategies for 2 to 5 axis milling, turning, and wire EDM. The release also includes support for SQL database interface for improved performance, and multiple user access for the proprietary knowledge database - TechDB™. CAMWorks was the first Gold Partner CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) solution designed exclusively to operate in SolidWorks. For more information on CAMWorks 2010, please visit www.camworks.com.

DFMPro version 2.1 adds an injection molding module packed with some of the most important industry best practices for manufacturability of injection molded components related to wall thickness, draft analysis, undercuts, mold wall thickness, ribs, bosses, etc. SolidWorks users will be able to quickly verify their designs within SolidWorks, thus reducing cost and time-to-market, while also improving the quality of manufactured parts. DFMPro also facilitates collaborative design review process by generating comprehensive 3D reports in eDrawings format. This capability is very useful for suppliers to quickly generate eDrawings reports and share it with the OEM for their review, comments and acceptance.
