GOelan V4 the successful French cam software is being launched byits UK Distributors LSC Group this month at Midland ManufacturingShow, NEC 21 - 22 March, 2001. GOelan is a fully featuredparametric cam system running on a Windows NT platform thatoffers powerful surface and solid modelling and that has directdata transfer interfaces available for many of the worlds leadingCAD systems. This unique CAM software is used to machine parts insome of the world's most desirable chronometers to partsused in popular European built automobiles, whilst some 2,000+users worldwide bear testament to the applications versatilityand performance in the workshop.

What differentiates this packagefrom many on the market is having a practical CAD tool thatallows imported files to be manipulated prior to code generation,allows users to re-define cutting parameters during graphicalon-screen simulation and the ability to define machiningstrategies and associate these with the elements of geometry.

Forthose customers seeking a complete computer integratedmanufacturing solution GOelan can be linked to an industryproven, generative Computer Aided Process Planning tool.

Theperformance boundaries can be further extended through theintegration with enabling technologies that deliver on-demandmanufacturing from ISO 10303 STEP file data sets.

Finally,special launch offers are available at the show, which should beof particular interest to those companies wanting to reduce thecost of new, or replacement CAM software.
