ONGAA CAM is a plug-in for SOLIDWORKS which is a 3D CAD (computer-aided design) program that runs on Microsoft Windows and is being developed by Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Corp. SOLIDWORKS is currently used by over 2 million engineers and designers at more than 165,000 companies worldwide.
SOLIDWORKS is used to model the parts / assemblies and ONGAA CAM to generate the WoodWOP MPR files or Biesseworks BPP files.
The plugin is activated when either a “Part” or “Assembly” is opened.
When an assembly is open, the ONGAA CAM functionality becomes limited to generating MPRs/BPPs, Nested MPRs and machine instruction (NC –Gen).
To add or edit tool path information a “part” must be open which can be done from the assembly view.
The “machining” options are activated when a part is opened. These include.
These include:
- Material definition (sizing) and orientation
- Drilling (Vertical, Horizontal, Universal)
- Routing (Vertical, Horizontal, Universal, Polygon)
