Edgecam Strategy Manager for Milling


Edgecam Strategy Manager is an interactive, graphical tool used to define and capture the way in which parts are cut. Edgecam Strategy Manager allows the user to capture best practice manufacturing methods and apply them to subsequent jobs, dramatically reducing programming time. Automation Edgecam Strategy Manager encompasses the best from the principles of rules, knowledge and feature based machining and utilizes these to produce a fast, reliable and highly automated solution for solids machining. Strategy Manager builds on the intelligence of Edgecam Solid Machinist to offer true knowledge-based machining. It extends the feature based approach of Edgecam Solid Machinist and combines this with the knowledge and experience of the skilled engineers on the shopfloor. It effectively drives the CAM process and as a result, machining methods are kept consistent, best practices maximized within the organization.
