About Twin Sun Solutions:
PwrPk specializes in CAD software add-ins written in C# on the .NET platform offering customization services. PwrPk can be modified to suit your particular environment or a new module created to incrementally improve your productivity. Please send any requests for customization to custom@pwrpk.com.
We have proven over the years some very small improvements such as eliminating 10 mouse clicks per mill pocket not only results in productivity improvements but also on wrist ergonomics, design focus, mistake elimination, consistency and standardization.
Let us turn your ideas into continuous improvement projects and start realizing the gains that can be acheived.
Product Details:
A SolidWorks Add-in containing many advanced commands designed by engineers, targeted for CNC CAM interoperability. Having trouble exporting only the information required for your wire EDM or CNC Lathe? Attempting to chain lines and arcs amongst splines and multiple overlapping entities? Redrawing sketches in a new part to be able to limit an export to only the information required? PwrPk addresses all these issues with a SolidWorks integrated toolbar containing an IGES or DXF export command exporting marked sketches controlling exactly the geometry required for your CNC programming software. The IGS file supports levels, level colors, and level descriptions for only lines and arcs entities.
PwrPk has been developed over a 3-year period specifically for polymeric extrusion tooling consisting of multi-plate tools. These tools contains flow channels cut using pocket programs on a CNC mill or 4-axis wire EDM cuts through each plate. PwrPk's 15 commands focus on incremental productivity improvements aimed at these CNC operations. Additionally, we have found these commands to be useful in CNC lathe data transfer for roll profiles, and transfer of generated sketches to FEA packages.
Features:
- IGES or DXF Export of Tagged Sketches in 3D wireframe.
- Single Click mill pocket command which creates surfaces and updates solid model
- Multi-format export of selected parts in an assembly
- Select, delete overlapping duplicate entities; select all splines; and get entity statistics for sketches
- Single click naming and capture of screen shots
Benefits:
- Simplifies CAM programming
- Exported data contains the exact information needed to program 4 axis wire EDM paths; No overlapping splines, arcs, or duplicate entities
- Surfaces to be milled are created automatically reducing CAM programming time
- Save time exporting entire assemblies to multiple CAD formats and capturing pictures of models
- Increased productivity, reduced repetitive mouse clicks, fewer errors
