OCNC
Software, developer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software,
announced that its Mastercam X4 CAD/CAM Software has
been certified for Autodesk Inventor 2011 3D mechanical
design software by the Autodesk Inventor Certified To be certified, the product must meet certain guidelines and demonstrate a high level of quality as well as compatibility with Autodesk Inventor software. Certification is given only after the product has been tested and approved. Mastercam X4 has a direct add-in for Autodesk Inventor, a great way to boost productivity. Autodesk Inventor mechanical design software takes engineers beyond 3D to Digital Prototyping by enabling them to design, visualize, and simulate products before they are ever built.
Free to the Mastercam and Autodesk
communities, Mastercam Direct enables users to open a
model in Mastercam while in an Inventor session, and
then update toolpaths to reflect changes to the model.
Mastercam X4 is able to read in native Inventor files

Innovative Software Links CAD Data with Inspection on Measuring Machines
“PC-DMIS Planner automates one of the last significant disconnects in manufacturing,” said Joe Zink, product manager for PC-DMIS Planner. “Additions, deletions and changes to a CAD model are often dealt with using ad-hoc methods prone to error. PC-DMIS Planner is a solution designed to formally communicate new information, automatically identify the specific impact to inspection programs, and keep an ongoing record of all changes.”
PC-DMIS
Planner is available as a standalone module that works
within the PC-DMIS 2010 Enterprise Metrology suite of
products. The software is compatible with all
editions of PC-DMIS for all types of hardware from
CMMs to vision machines to portable devices
O-INSPECT combines high flexibility with highly reproducible results in one measuring run and one setting – in both the measuring lab and production. It works with proven ZEISS sensors: a new, accurate and very flexible 12x zoom lens from Carl Zeiss is used in addition to the VAST® XXT scanning sensor. CALYPSO® CAD-based software automatically displays the operating functions for optical measuring as soon as the optical sensor is active. O-INSPECT is particularly used for the quality assurance and initial sampling of small, complex parts in the plastics, medical and automobile industries and precision mechanics.
