Will Superdraft CAD/CAM run on Windows XP?

Superdraft CAD/CAM

The Superdraft 2D CAD/CAM software is specifically designed for the mechanical engineering industries and offers atotally integrated CAD/CAM solution, which is especially useful for companies requiring both design and manufacturing, using CNC machine tools.

Our CAM software is suitable for PC compatible computers running the DOS operating system. It is an easy to use solution and is very cost effective as it cuts the lead time of obtaining designs. Also time taken for the production of NC programs can be reduced dramatically, and effective post processing ensures that the program can be sent to any machine tool.

All the CAM modules include these features:

• Geometry definition via easy to use CAD commands within the CAM system
• Keyboard, on-screen menu, mouse or digitiser input and control
• Macros (record and playback)
• Ability to digitise (trace) a component directly off the tablet
• On-screen simulation of all machining functions with tool path collision checking
• Single block simulation
• On-screen editing of CAM data
• Access to tooling data within the CAM program
• Post-processor output to any format, generic post-processor
• Complete off-line editor for use with CAM programs or existing CNC programs
• Serial communication link to ANY machine (via RS232)
• Tool libary editor to modify/add new tools
• Material/tool database
• Optimum speed and feed selection for any tool
• Tooling sheet generatot for each CNC program
• Cycle time estmation (user definable times)
• Ability to print or plot all data and tool paths
• Metric or imperial input
• User definable jigs, fixtures, clamps and billets
• Back plotting of standard NC code
• Logic warnings (i.e. trying to cut without the spindle on or datum set)
• Multi-coloured tool paths for ease of viewing
