Sescoi launches WorkNC 3X and previews another major new version of WorkNC at EuroMold

EuroMold will be the launch pad for WorkNC 3X, Sescoi’s new entry level 3-axis CAM system and the venue for the first public preview of WorkNC G3 Version 20, a major new release of Sescoi’s world-leading automatic CAM/CAD software, due out in Spring 2009.

Located in Hall 8 on Stand F22, Sescoi engineers will also be providing demonstrations of the company’s WorkXPlore 3D high-speed 3D collaborative viewer, as well as Version 3 of its WorkPLAN Enterprise ERP and MyWorkPLAN job management solutions.

With the launch of WorkNC 3X, Sescoi is offering smaller toolrooms from a range of sectors a fast track to efficient programming and machining, at a very accessible price. WorkNC’s main automatic 3-axis roughing, finishing and 2D machining routines are all included in the ‘3X’solution. As with all Sescoi software, ease of use is a key principle of WorkNC 3X, and the software, with its very short learning curve, will deliver a rapid return on investment.

WorkNC solutions will be demonstrated on the Sescoi stand as well as Sescoi partner stands – Ingersoll Werkzeuge GmbH Hall 9 Stand D29 and F. Zimmermann GmbH Hall 8 Stand K84. Visitors operating in sectors as diverse as medical, dental, aerospace, consumer electronics, energy and automotive, will discover that WorkNC offers a broad range of easy to use functions and solutions particularly suited to their activity.

V20, the upcoming new version of WorkNC, brings users important new and improved capabilities: On some toolpaths, calculation times have been improved by up to 60% and major enhancements in finishing routines will add significantly to part quality.

WorkNC’s unique Auto 5 module, which automatically converts 3-axis toolpaths into collision-free 5-axis toolpaths, has been completely revised for V20. Becoming up to 7.5 times faster, Auto 5 will transform user productivity and, with the ability to handle undercuts, its application range will greatly increase.

Live cutting on a DMG HSC 55 machine located on the Sescoi stand, will enable visitors to see a practical demonstration of WorkNC’s 5-axis toolpaths in action.

For visitors looking for a best-fit, high performance 3D CAD collaboration tool, Sescoi’s will be demonstrating and giving away free copies of WorkXPlore 3D, Sescoi’s award-winning, high-speed collaborative viewer launched earlier this year.

Sescoi’s ERP experts will be on hand at the Sescoi stand to demonstrate how Version 3 of WorkPLAN Enterprise ERP and MyWorkPLAN job management solutions brings new standards in cost control, reporting and analysis to custom manufacturers. Advanced integration and interface options enable the highest levels of efficiency as data can be shared with external applications such as accounting packages, CAD systems, popular office software, third party APS and ERP systems, and Sescoi’s own WorkNC and WorkXPlore 3D solutions.

Amongst the many benefits achieved, companies who have installed a WorkPLAN solution have been able to track activity and costs in real time and avoid costly errors. This has a positive impact on costs and cash flow by ensuring that the products are delivered to time and to quality, while the costs and resources used are strictly controlled, making WorkPLAN solution user companies better positioned to weather the current worldwide economic slowdown.

companies looking for ways to reduce costs and transform productivity need look no further than the Sescoi stand at Euromold 2008.
