The CAM programmer uses the plugin to check the project into Vault which automatically creates the traceability links from the CAD to the CAM project and from the CAM project to the NC files. Once the designer has released the CAD for manufacture the CAM programmer is able to use the plugin to import the CAD directly from Vault. Using a separate standalone shopfloor application, Vault for MAKE allows NC files to be delivered to machine controllers directly from Vault.

Vault for MAKE allows revision control directly within PowerMill and FeatureCAM ensuring that only known versions of toolpaths and NC are released to the shopfloor. Too often we see Customers whose manufacturing departments work in data silos with two main issues.Īlthough CAD data is well controlled, the same is not true for CAM projects and NC files.

Everyone works from a central source of organized data-collaborating, reducing errors, and saving time.

Vault is product data management (PDM) software that improves productivity. PowerMill provides expert CNC programming strategies for complex 3- and 5-axis manufacturing while FeatureCAM intelligently makes decisions, produces results, and removes repetitive processes. Autodesk have introduced a plugin for Fusion 360 with PowerMill and Fusion 360 with FeatureCAM to allow CAM projects and NC code to be configured within Vault.
