3D Laser Application - FASTTRIM
Offline-Programming: Fast and easy to NC Programs for 3D Contours by using FASTTRIM inside CATIA V5. Prototype and serial parts reach their final shape by applying 3D technologies like laser beam or water jet cutting. The multi-axis manufacturing task has to be efficiently realized with respect to high quality requirements.
The pathbreaking solution FASTTRIM enables the comfortable programming of demanding manufacturing tasks. As the modular built application FASTTRIM is fully integrated in CATIA V5, our user have access to a very powerful programming environment.
FASTTRIM - 3D Laser Application:
