To run ALPHACAM Designer 2020 effectively, the following hardware is recommended by Hexagon : ALPHACAM System Requirements - Hexagon
: Unlike traditional parametric systems, users can push, pull, and drag geometry to change shapes without needing to understand the original model's construction history.
: Features a simulation session powered by the same engine as the post-processor, ensuring a direct correlation between NC code (XYZ/ABC data) and the visual simulation. alphacam-designer-2020
: Introduced conditional "if/else" structures, allowing complex rules to be defined that can affect multiple variables or layers simultaneously. System Requirements (Minimum)
: The offset tool now retains layer attributes, colors, Z-levels, and custom user attributes while transferring machining associativity to the new geometry. To run ALPHACAM Designer 2020 effectively, the following
: Quickly removes markings like laser engravings or electrode markers that are unnecessary for the CAM process but present in the original CAD data.
: Supports importing DXF and DWG files to transform 2D profiles into 3D models through automated sketch profile regions. Key Features in the 2020 Release System Requirements (Minimum) : The offset tool now
: Automatically closes small gaps between surfaces on imported models and creates edge curves for missing faces to produce solid bodies ready for machining.
