Abstract:
The radical development of the industry leads manufacturers to adopt more effective methods to
exclude the deficit in their process. The application designed in this research establishes a connection
between Autodesk Inventor and Edgecam (Hexagon). In case of the component-group the automatic
toolpath generation is efficiently usable even in changing product palette. The perfect CAD model
with the suitable toolpath is generated in just 92 seconds. The application takes into account the used
technological considerations through the manufacturing. For example, the tool dependent diameter
before threading, asymmetric tolerance, chamfer and inner fillet. The program is reliably usable from
the first machining because the automatically filled parameters minimizes the possibility of errors.
The solution increases the reliability of the quotation (even for ERP systems) because it ensures
valid process time and toolset.
