Due to the fact that the
neutral format contains a vast amount of
high-quality data, it is saved in a
compressed format. In order to still be able
to verify the content, a free dataviewer is provided to users.

All post-processors can be
operated either directly in SOLIDWORKS or on the
basis of the neutral format as
stand-alone programs. This guarantees that they
can be used in a very flexible and yet always
safe manner.
|
|
The high quality of the neutral
format is based on the high degree of
integration of the geometrical data.
This enables the postprocessors to still make
independent decisions based on the model
geometry and thus create the optimal CNC program
for each machine.
|
|
|
|
As a complement, the neutral
format also contains all the
meta-information of the SOLIDWORKS
model that is relevant for postprocessor
decisions. Thus, e.g. postprocessors can make
machine-specific decisions based on text-only
information.
|
|
Since almost all data is available
in the neutral format that is also processed in
direct SOLIDWORKS processing, the PASCAM
Bea expansion cards receive an optimal
data feed to facilitate their optimized
machine-specific decisions.
|
|
|
|
Since PASCAM Bea is not only
able to generate high quality parametric
CNC programs where the user can control
in detail which machining is to be generated
with which parameter as required, it is only
consequent that this is also possible via
neutral format.
