5-axis toolpath generation With TypeEdit 2009, you can now generate machining tool paths towards 5 axis machines capable. As of today and on the market, TypeEdit 2009 is the only software to offer you this possibility. These new Projection and Mappings options offer you exclusive advantages. With 5 axis machining toolpaths, time savings are huge thanks to a single assembly. As well, accuracy and surface finished are of better quality.

Nesting Optimizer The Nesting feature has been completely revamped and its content has beeen enriched with many new possibilities such as the Nesting Optimizer, the Common Edge Detection along with the possibility to now save your nesting parameters to later apply them to other jobs.

The Nesting Optimizer improves the filling compared to the original nesting. Various parameters will allow you to set the number of tests, the maximum time allowed for the calculation, etc. This Optimizer permits a gain in terms of material or machining along with the report including information concerning the Best trial number, Break cause, the Best utilization in percentage and the Best improvement over the default nesting also in percentage.

Common line cutting A new option in TypeEdit 2009 allows you to obtain the automatic detection and close-up of your elements or objects with common lines. Your objects will be closer and you will hence reduce your costs by optimizing the used surface of your material and minimizing the material lost.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Drilling/Gang Drill TypeEdit 2009 integrates a new CAM specific feature: the « Gang drill head ». TypeEdit 2009 can drive CNC machines equipped with 1 to 9 standard Gang Drill heads (multi-spindle gang milling machines) to fit your machining needs.

Print simulation report of remaining material A new button allows you to print a detailed simulation report of remaining material. This report gives you the details of each simulated toolpath, the areas the tool leaves over (in red), date and time of the preview, name of the work file (VND), name and characteristics of the tool, allowance, depth and tools to be used. Plus, you have a copy of all the parameters you used for a future job.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chain cutting With the new Chain cutting option, you obtain a unique cutting path with a tool that does not leave the material once. Hence, the tool release is minimized. A true revolution in terms of machining time savings, better cutting finished and of course, much less tool break and use.

Scale modifications while creating a 2D Texture Scale modifications in 2D Texture allows you to control the dimensions of the pattern independantly from the object on which it is duplicated. As a result, the texture is a lot more accurate. When you begin your texture, you can determine its size, and then save it to use it again for a future object. Texture is an important trend today in various industries : automotive, furniture, sign, mold, leather trade, etc. With Scale modifications while creating a 2D Texture, simply and freely create anything you wish!

Remove small contours Automatically and rapidly delete small contours! The Remove small contours tool is a new feature located in the Geometrical toolbox. The deleted contours are computed from a range size defined by the diagonal of the bounding box of the object to delete. Once validated, this suppression is immediate. Clean-up operations are much easier with the rapid removal of these « small contours »; you save time to better perfect your model.

Projection of the Sequence toolpath in multi-layer mode TypeEdit 2009 offers you a powerful and highly professional CAM feature. In the Sequence toolpath, you can now activate a projection in a multi-layer mode, just like you would do in the other sequence toolpaths. You then easily obtain the surface on the first toolpath and the geometries to be machined on the other planes, all done in a single click!

You can of course retrieve and save the gang drill heads configurations in an XML format (*.gang). Drillings can be performed in various types of materials such as Plywood, MDF (medium density fiberboard) for instance, by activating one or several driller, broach or head at the same time. Definitely the ideal tool for all professionals working in the wood industry.





 

> Amazing time savings > More accurate machining > Better finished quality

Focus on existing functions

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Magic copy Highly valued by the professionals in signing and cutting industries, this functionality continues to be revamped by further improvements in order to reduce design time and material costs. You can now duplicate simultaneously or separately several objects, with the ability to set a number of copies for each object.

Texturing Simple but absolutely essential to stand out from competition, this function allows you to create a seamless 3D texture effect on your object. These textures can be gathered. You create new TypeArt objects onto which a homogeneous and seamless texture is mapped.

Creation of new shapes TypeEdit incorporates an algorithm that allows you to create new sections which smooth curves. With TypeEdit, you can choose the type of shapes that best suit your industrial needs in 2D – 3D (moldmaking, signing on wooden panels, etc.).

Chisel effect The Chisel function allows you to apply a shade effect on your object’s contours to later machine these zones of light or shade. You will obtain a 3D effect with a simple 2D function! Machining of this effect is of quality and very rapid since it is a 2D function.

Crop and punch The Crop and Punch functions are new advanced boolean operations. They allow you to trim contours according to their intersections with other contours. These two tools open further design possibilities while saving you time during the creation process.

Spiral engraving Aesthetically, this new function permits beautiful machining since the “demarcation mark” often left by the pass of the tool, disappears. The tool works in spiral, from the inside to the outside (or reversed), which supports a high speed machining without any brutal entry of the tool into the material. The trajectory is more fluid, more supple since

Manual bridges TypeEdit offers you options for cutting bridges. Especially useful for pieces with complex geometry, you can choose the position, number, size and height of the bridges you need for the piece. A new option also permits to delete bridges with an additional toolpaths once the first machining is completed.
