Question

Moduleworks : Cutcom still not working

I'm really getting annoyed about this Moduleworks. I loaded this morning Creo 3.0 M110 full of hope about this new release.

I started programming a new part and simulated,cutcom is still not correctly simulated !!!   What's going on ? A simulating tool is to make sure everything goes well, not supposed to give doubts about what we are doing. I'm once more going to go back to M080 which works with Vericut perfectly.

I'm going to open a new case about this "new" problem !!

I can't see the benefits of paying a maintenance to get such a result. In our company, we're seriously thinking about changing cam software for many reasons. And these problem are just confirming what we are thinking.

And when will Pro/NC will be a standalone module ? Our company is well developing and we're getting more and more job. We are thinking of hiring a new employee, to have one on

CAD and the other one on CAM. But actually with Creo it's really a big problem !!! Who can think of paying a CAD licence to do CAM job ? Serisously !!

Sorry you are still having problems with Module works. They fixed my problem where my ball end mills looked like chamfer tools with M110 but now I discovered a new problem with it. Some imported tool assemblies don't show up in Moduleworks. Not sure why I am still investigating it.

The biggest problem I have with module works is it is slow to show the cuts. I have all the settings in ModuleWorks set to the lowest quality and it still takes forever.

Not sure if it's my work which is small and very fine detail or if it's my computer. Personally I think it's ModuleWorks.

I agree with you. Moduleworks is slow. I recently changed computer and hoped to get better results but it didn't change much. Here's what I have :

And a Nvidia QUADRO K2200.

Thank you for this answer, but the problem comes from Moduleworks. Moduleworks simulates the CL data and not the ISO code.

We have milled hundreds of parts using this program and it works perfectly fine unlike Moduleworks.
