![]() Quick note: NC Shop Floor Programmer is the entry-level role for machining in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Armed with these apps, I could program advanced 3-axis milling machines (including 2.5-axis machines, of course) and both 2- and 4-axis wire EDM machines. ![]() The two apps pertinent to my interests were Shop Floor Machining and Wire EDM Machining. The NC Shop Floor Programmer role includes the following apps: In other words, I needed an awesome CAM experience.Īnd fairly recently, I discovered a role that has the potential to thrust me into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform permanently: NC Shop Floor Programmer. I needed a role that delivered functionality that was undeniably better than what I had access to in SOLIDWORKS, and which was pertinent to my specific type of work. Resolved not to become an “old dog” in the industry, I have been searching for the right entry into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. So far.īut I know my apprehension toward change has stunted my growth and could (if it hasn’t already) be the beginning of a skills gap between myself and my competition. Half my time in CAD is spent programming CNC machines and because of SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks I have been able to do everything I need to in the SOLIDWORKS desktop program. Between the apps and the roles, the PLM backbone and the cloud UI, I have repeatedly found myself retreating to my comfort zone: SOLIDWORKS.įrom one perspective, this is a testament to the power of SOLIDWORKS. I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I want to use 3DEXPERIENCE, but I’m just a little (or maybe a lot…) overwhelmed by the platform. With fascination, I have watched my coworkers push-pulling models in 3D Sculptor and generating incredibly complex models in XGenerative Design, but only dabbled in using the tools myself. ![]() Like a lot of SOLIDWORKS users, I have been observing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform mostly from afar.
