SOLUTIONWARE has announced the release of the MazaCAM Smart Edition, the latest version of its CNC programming system.
According to SolutionWare, MazaCAM Smart Edition supports the entire range of generations from Mazak’s first T1 model to the new Mazatrol SMART lathes and controls.
SolutionWare claims MazaCAM Smart Edition also supports all standard G-code CNC controls, so shops can have one system for all CNC programming needs, instead of different methods and systems for each kind of machine.
Mazak claims its Quick Turn Smart series of lathes and controlled can be programmed up to 75% faster than machines equipped with EIA/ISO systems.
SolutionWare says the MazaCAM Smart Edition will help users leverage that efficiency by converting between control generations, programming Mazatrol on the computer, converting CAD-files such as IGES and DXF to Mazatrol, and checking the program before it goes out to the shop floor.
MazaCAM Smart Edition can also convert legacy Mazak programs to the new SMART controls and lathes.
