HEMA FoamCAD-XP - Offline programming quickly and simply
Possibilities of programming
With FoamCAD-XP it's possible to create any geometrical form as CNC part or program in a quick and easy manner. There are different possibilities to do so:
DXF data transfer
Almost all CAD systems are able to export drawing files in DXF format. With FoamCAD-XP you can easily import this data again. To create sharp-edged corners, FoamCAD-XP automatically adds retention times when exceeding pre-selectable turnarounds.
Electronic drawing board
By using a digitizer board, existing drawings or templates can be manually scanned point-by-point. Received data from the digitizer is directly translated into CNC code.
Part editor
With this editor geometries can be drawn with simple drawing tools. It is also possible to enter NC-code directly. Independent of the way how data is entered, it is possible to finish parts subsequently in the editor (rotating, scaling, etc.). The NC-part (e.g. single piece, sample part) finally can be imported and produced directly on the machine.
Duplication
When creating a cutting program out of multiple equal but also different parts, FoamCAD-XP supports a lot! Using the quick-programming tool, a running program is created in minutes out of a single part. The variable number of parts that have to be cut horizontally and vertically can be adapted to the block size by means of a piece counter integrated into the machine control.
