The SolidElectrode module enables the creation of electrodes, as well as the simulation of machining with collision control. In conjunction with a corresponding machine adaptation, NC programmes for die-sinking EDM machines can be generated. Derive and archive 3D electrode geometries Modification of electrode geometry Assigning solid geometry of the electrode holder Archiving electrode blanks Automatic creation of a measuring frame with alignment surface Storage of electrodes in CAMMAN database including additional information such as position, erosion depth, electrode ID number, undersize, measurement data, programme name, designation of roughing/smoothing electrode as well as any additional information Automatic creation of a graphical set-up sheet
