2. CIMATRON, an Israeli military software that entered China late, is superior to MASTERCAM in tool path function, which makes up for the shortcomings of MASTERCAM. The system has been widely used in machinery, electronics, aerospace, scientific research and mold industry. In machining programming, 99% use CIMATRON and MASTERCAM. In the early days, these two softwares were used to draw pictures and write NC programs, but their functions in drawing and modeling were not very good. PRO-E entered Chinese mainland at this time.
3.Pro/E is a software developed by American PTC (Parametric Technology Co., Ltd.), which has become the most popular 3D CAD/CAM system in the world for more than ten years. Widely used in electronics, machinery, molds, industrial design and toys and other industries. It integrates many functions, such as part design, product assembly, mold development, NC machining, modeling design and so on. It has been popular in Chinese mainland since 1997. Used in mold design, product drawing, advertising design, image processing, lighting modeling design, and can automatically generate engineering drawings. At present, most enterprises are equipped with Pro/ENGINEER software. It and UG are the best drawing software, but PRO-E is the most popular in Chinese mainland. It has been recognized that drawing with PRO-E and processing with MASTERCAM and CIMATRON.
4.Unigraphics (UG for short) entered the mainland much later than PRO-E, but it is also the most advanced high-end software for manufacturing CAD/CAE/CAM in the world. UG software is used by many leading manufacturers in the world to engage in industrial design, detailed mechanical design and engineering manufacturing. Now UG has more than 17000 customers worldwide. UG has developed rapidly since it entered the China market in 1990, and has become the first choice software in the fields of automobile, machinery, computer, household appliances and mold design.
5.Powermill is a British programming software with the best tool path, which is especially suitable for waste processing.
6. The most striking feature of 6.CATIA is its powerful surface function, which should be said to be unmatched by any CAD 3D software. At present, almost all domestic airline companies are using CATIA, and of course UG is also used, but it is not as extensive as it is, but small enterprises generally can't afford genuine products, and domestic piracy is rare. CATIA is an integrated application software package, covering all aspects of product design: computer aided design (CAD), computer aided engineering analysis (CAE) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). It not only provides the necessary functions to support various types of collaborative product design, but also can be seamlessly integrated to fully support "end-to-end" enterprise process solutions.
As far as the domestic industrial structure transformation is concerned, powermill, hypermill and worknc are the mainstream, and both multi-axis and processing efficiency have been greatly improved, especially the secondary function of worknc has been greatly improved compared with other software.
