Bridge the Gap between Engineering and Manufacturing

Shop Floor Programmer Topic Page - Intro

Shop Floor Programmer provides a critical link between design and manufacturing, ensuring smoother workflows, reduced errors, cost savings and improved time to market. Benefits include:

  • Manufacturability. Ensure that your original design intent is realized in production by enabling product designers to fully validate the manufacturability of proposed designs.
  • Reduced lead times by streamlining entire workflows and enabling teams to quickly pivot based on design changes or customer requirements.
  • Real-time insights. Fine-tuned toolpaths based on real-time insights, enabling custom adjustments for increasing efficiency, reducing cycle times, optimizing material usage and improving tool longevity.
  • Scalability. Standardized processes can be easily replicated across different manufacturing lines, enabling companies to expand production without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Nesting

Nesting

Quickly examine how your design fits on a sheet or multiple sheets with industry-standard nesting capabilities, efficiently minimizing wasted material, increasing profits and improving manufacturing sustainability.

Manufacturability Checker

Manufacturability Checker

This tool enables users to quickly validate whether their current design is best for additive or subtractive manufacturing so they can confirm whether it will fit inside a specific CNC machine.

Fixture Design/ CNC Programming

Fixture Design/ CNC Programming

Allows manufacturing engineers to design and program tooling and fixtures in one environment. This cohesiveness minimizes lost time between design and programming.

First Look: DELMIA Shop Floor Programmer

DELMIA Shop Floor Programmer enables users to program advanced 2.5-axis milling machines, 3-axis milling machines, and 2- / 4-axis wire EDM machines to create 3D parts. NC Shop Floor Programmer provides a full set of features for workpiece setup, cutter tool assembly and toolpath simulation, including material removal, machine-tool simulation and NC code generation. NC programmers can capture and leverage enterprise intellectual property (IP) and collaborate with other stakeholders as they develop, validate and optimize NC programs.

Highland Vans: Designing and Manufacturing Custom Vans for Adventure

Discover how engineers at Highland Vans are using industry-standard nesting capabilities in DELMIA Shop Floor Programmer to quickly check how well their design fits on a sheet or multiple sheets, saving them hours of manual nesting they were required to do with their previous tool, Fusion 360. They can also use the tool to do “what if” scenarios to determine the best design that can be made with the least amount of wasted material to help increase profits, lower product costs and improve manufacturing sustainability within their organization.

How to Thrive in CNC Machining: Mastering the Latest Innovations and Trends

How to Thrive in CNC Machining: Mastering the Latest Innovations and Trends

While small- to mid-sized (SMBs) businesses struggle amid many challenges impacting the manufacturing industry, adopting the next-generation tech tools that can provide much-needed efficiencies is often difficult. Most manufacturers are dealing with a severe talent and labor crisis and frequently struggle with skill development for shop floor personnel.

Read this eBook to learn how cloud-enabled manufacturing solutions enable companies to leverage their internal know-how to create reusable templates, reduce machining time, improve quality and efficiency and minimize time to market with modern machining solutions.

Tackle Talent Shortages by Capturing Intellectual Capital

Tackle Talent Shortages by Capturing Intellectual Capital

Many small- to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in manufacturing are negatively impacted by disrupted supply chains, shrinking tech talent pools and increased reshoring. This makes it tough to meet production demands, let alone adopt the new technology that can help. Discover how knowledge capture through CNC programming can help you reduce errors, improve machinists’ productivity and leverage the best practices of your CNC experts.
