BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM

  • 2D & 3D CADCAM
  • Easy to Learn
  • DXF, IGES & Step File Import
  • Auto Wire Approach/Depart
  • Auto Wire Compensation
  • FREE Post-processors - containing over 500 post-processor interfaces.
The Wire EDM CAD/CAM software is a complete solids & Surfacing CAD Design product that includes the required CAM functionality to machine simple and complex 2- or 4-axis parts with your Wire EDM machine tool. With support for open and closed shape profile machining, our productive software environment allows you to rapidly produce wire toolpaths and G-Code programs for Mitsubishi, Japax, Brother, Fanuc, Sodick and other CNC Wire EDM’s.

BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM Software

The software screens are simple and allow you to either import your file or draw the profiles that you want to cut.

2-AXIS
BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM 2-axis features offer fast programming for open or closed shape profiles whether you imported a part file or designed it within the system. Complete programming functionality for 2-axis includes: Feature Driven CAM: Cutting operations are editable features within the job tree. Associative Toolpaths: Easily modify geometry and/or toolpaths without having to re-write a program. Productive Environment: Creating 2-axis inside or outside cut paths is made easy through one feature editing dialog. BobCAD-CAM gives you three taper setting options when programming 2-axis profiles – none, taper and land & taper – simplifying the process of setting up and programming jobs without additional geometry. Be more productive with the new BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM system!

4-AXIS
4-Axis Cutting Technology: BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM offers Match Point control for complex top and bottom contours for open and closed shape profiles. User Definable Cutting Conditions: Cutting conditions can be created for a specific part, machine and material type. Full 4-axis programming is available and built right into the CAM for easy NC Code generation and output to your EDM Machine.

See below for further details of the amazing features in BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM.

wire1Precision Wire EDM part making has been simplified through the use of the new BobCAD-CAM Wire EDM CAD/CAM system. From drawing simple 2D wireframe profiles and machining them to working with solids and programming complex 4-axis parts, this new software gives you the ease of use and functionality you will need to complete your wire parts fast. You can also add the advanced Milling module or Turning module to make this system as complete as you need it to be!
