Striker Introduces Partshare Nesting Interface for Solid Edge
July 1, 2011Comments
Striker Systems, White House, TN, a provider of sheetmetal CAD/CAM and nesting software, has released Partshare for Solid Edge. The add-in allows Solid Edge to share sheetmetal-manufacturing data with Striker Systems’ nesting software.
From the Solid Edge environment, an individual part or entire assembly is extracted. Sheetmetal parts are automatically unfolded as necessary and placed into the Partshare nesting library. Critical manufacturing data—part number, revision level, routing information and material properties—are transferred with each part. Bend information is maintained to facilitate bend-line marking during CNC punching or cutting operations. Production nests can then be created interactively or automatically from any networked computer running Striker nesting software. The process minimizes data handling and reduces the risk of manufacturing error.
