MME Enabler
Multi-axis Surface Machining (MME)
CATIA PLM Express
Efficient and automated 2.5-axis up to 5 axis surface NC programming
Overview
The CATIA - Multi-axis Surface Machining option delivers high-end prismatic up to multi-axis surface
strategies for productive complex machining with best-in-class quality results. NC programmers
benefit from full associativity with CATIA design parts, and powerful machining automation capabilities to drastically reduce NC programming and machining time.
- Best in class surface machining quality (especially through accurate scalop height calculation),
faster machining time, and ensured collision free tool paths - Drastic reduction of NC programming time through automation of the machining process
- Ultra-large NC program management and ultra-fast computation thanks to 64-bit support
- Seamless design-to-manufacturing process with manufacturing features recognition and full
associativity in the event design changes are made
Capabilities
- Full set of high end 2.5, 3 and 5 axis miling and drilling operations for accurate tool path definition, including support of High Speed Milling technology:
- Several 5-axis contouring and sweeping strategies
- Multi-axis machining of multiple surface with full collision avoidance - Automated detection and reworking of non-machined areas in roughing or finishing
- Powerful automation capabilities for efficient NC programming:
- Capitalization of already defined processes thanks to machining process templates
- Automatic sequencing, User defined Features ... - NURBS output for five axis machining
- Accurate Verification of the tool path including simulation of material removal and analysis
of remaining material in photo mode
