Newport Beach, California – November 5, 2007 – NCCS, the developer of NCL multi-axis machining software for the aerospace, automotive and turbo machinery industry, has announced new software features added to its CAM software that will give users more freedom in the way models are imported and more flexibility.

Enhanced matching of imported models
o When importing an external model through IGES or SolidWorks®, users have the option of using a label matching algorithm so that each geometric entity present in the external file can be compared with an existing NCL model and given the same label as a matching entity in the NCL database. This improves productivity by allowing programmers to quickly import new models and match them with programs already stored in NCL.
o The label matching feature maintains the labeling of geometry between engineering changes and can even be used for the labeling of family-of-parts models. Regressive matching is a key feature that has been added to NCL to give users multiple levels of matching, resulting in more efficient label matching.

According to David Schultz, NCCS’ Manager of CAD/CAM Applications, "NCL is continually being enhanced to give programmers more programming options that will speed up productivity. The new label matching feature helps improve the quality of imported models and reduces programming time by 50%".
