WORKNC – Premium CAM Solution for Tool and Die Industry Needs

Hexagon’s WORKNC is a globally recognized and respected CAM software, specifically designed for the demanding needs of tool, die, and mold industries. The software offers comprehensive tools for 2–5-axis CNC programming, enabling precise and efficient machining of complex surface and solid models. WORKNC has established itself as a market leader in the industry due to its high automation level, exceptional reliability, and ease of use.

One of the key strengths of the WORKNC software is its automated workflow. NC programming generation is highly advanced, significantly reducing the time spent on programming and minimizing the possibility of human errors. The software includes powerful features, such as global roughing, machining directly from 3D models using 2D paths, and intelligent drilling operations that automatically identify deep and intersecting holes without manual work.

In multi-axis machining, WORKNC offers the market’s most advanced solutions. In 3-axis machining, comprehensive strategies for roughing to finishing ensure high surface quality. The 5-axis module, in turn, offers easily manageable tools for complex machining, including fully integrated collision detection. The Auto5 module is particularly significant, as it can automatically convert traditional 3-axis machining paths into collision-free 5-axis paths, greatly simplifying the management of complex geometries. The software is also available with a separate robotic module, which expands machining possibilities for all types of industrial robots.

Performance is optimized according to the requirements of modern hardware. The software utilizes parallel computing, allowing multiple machining paths to be calculated simultaneously. The Advanced Parallel Processing function enables four and Extreme versions to run up to sixteen processes concurrently, speeding up work on large projects. In addition, seamless data transfer is ensured by comprehensive translators that support all common native CAD file formats.

Comprehensive safety is enhanced by WORKNC Viewer and Shop Floor Editor, which bring CAM tools directly to the machine shop floor. With them, operators can simulate and analyze machining processes before production begins. This ensures that every machining step is safe and meets the strictest quality requirements, making WORKNC software an indispensable partner for modern manufacturing industries.
