Alphacam Tools For Watchmakers On Show

Specialist functions in Alphacam developed for the watch making industry by the software’s Swiss reseller will be on display at the forthcoming EPHJ trade fair.

In addition, visitors to MW Programmation’s booth – F49 – at the show in Geneva between June 12-15 will see demonstrations of the new Alphacam Designer, which is a 3D direct modelling CAD for CAM tool.

Designer enables users to create new designs or modify existing geometry from third party CAD systems. Focusing on specific needs of machinist programmers, it provides a quick, dynamic editing and modelling environment, where users sketch, drag, hold, push or twist, to create and modify models…and it is not dependent on having a series of parameters that drive it, or a feature tree.

Michaël Weber, from MW Programmation, says they will also have a presence on machine tool manufacturer Draco’s booth (G107) to highlight their partnership in developing 5-axis simultaneous laser machine management for cutting and engraving. “We’ve been working closely with the Draco Group to simplify machine utilisation as much as possible.”
