MACHINING MODELING AdvantEdge enables engineers to analyze machining processes in 2D and 3D environments. Manufacturers across the globe find AdvantEdge to be a valuable step in the design of milling, grooving, boring, sawing, broaching, drilling and turning processes. Engineers who use AdvantEdge are also given the power to analyze temperature and stress in order to predict tool wear behavior and performance. By comparing case-by-base scenarios, engineers can easily identify and implement optimum parameters. HOW IT WORKS AdvantEdge users start simulating their processes by defining tool geometry or import from a CAD program. Then, select tool and workpeice materials, input cutting conditions and run the simulation(s). Engineers can compare simulation results for different cutting conditions or tool geometries to find optimal results, such as: temperature and stress analysis, chip formation to predict improved chip evacuation and evaluate force plots to lower cutting forces and power consumption INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOPS & WEBINARS Third Wave Systems's product workshops are designed to introduce potential users to its finite element analysis software, AdvantEdge, and NC optimization and analysis software, Production Module. Anyone looking to improve cutting processes, cutting tool design and performance, quality, cycle time, and productivity costs will gain valuable insight into how Third Wave Systems software helps companies get their products to market faster. A comfortable classroom setting allows everyone the opportunity to ask questions and experiment with the software on an individual computer. At the end of the day, a workbook with classroom examples and step-by-step instructions is yours to keep for future reference. There is no cost to attend a Third Wave Systems-hosted workshop. TWS also offers web training, designed for companies that are prepared to begin evaluating Third Wave Systems' products. By participating in a one-on-one web demonstration with Third Wave Systems engineers, potential users are able to avoid waiting for the next software workshop, eliminate travel budget concerns, and jumpstart their software evaluation. With a few clicks of the mouse, participants can connect with Third Wave Systems technology for a customized explanation of the products' architecture and capabilities.
