Sescoi (Macon, France) is showing both WorkNC 3X, its new entry-level 3-axis CAM system and WorkNC G3 Version 20, a new release of Sescoi’s automatic CAM/CAD software, which the company says is due out in Spring 2009.

With the launch of WorkNC 3X, Sescoi is offering smaller toolrooms from a range of sectors as a fast track to efficient programming and machining, at an accessible price. WorkNC’s main automatic 3-axis roughing, finishing, and 2D machining routines are included in the ‘3X’solution.

Users operating in sectors as diverse as medical, dental, aerospace, consumer electronics, energy, and automotive will discover that WorkNC offers a range of easy-to-use functions and solutions particularly suited to their activity. Plus, WorkNC 3X’s short learning curve helps deliver a rapid return on investment. The company recently released a case study explaining how its WorkNC automatic CAM/CAD system proved to be fast, accurate, and reliable at the Shinkoh Mold Co. Inc. factory in Japan.

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 percent and major enhancements in finishing routines will add to part quality.

WorkNC’s Auto 5 module, which automatically converts 3-axis toolpaths into collision-free 5-axis toolpaths,  has been 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.

Companies that 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 on time and to quality, while the costs and resources used are controlled, making WorkPLAN user companies better positioned to weather the current worldwide economic slowdown.
