Benefits
Increased Productivity
STRIKER CAD/CAM automates many aspects of the nesting/programming process for your Komatsu plasma, significantly reducing programming time.
Material Savings
Advanced nesting and remnant tracking allows you to get the most from your material, thereby improving throughput and reducing material cost.
Ease of Implementation and Use
STRIKER CAD/CAM is easy to deploy and delivers a user-friendly interface that expedites the learning process.
Industry Standard Platform
Because STRIKER CAD/CAM is built on an AutoCAD OEM platform, the native file format is the industry standard AutoCAD DWG file. You can be confident knowing that your data is secure.
Technical Support
Technical support is provided directly from Striker Systems personnel at Striker’s headquarters in White House, Tennessee. Access to technical support is simply a mouse click away.
Key Features of STRIKER CAD/CAM
CAD & CAD Integration
A critical component of any CAD/CAM software is the ability to create parts or interface with other CAD software to import parts. STRIKER CAD/CAM provides the best of both.
- Comprehensive CAD system included to create and modify part drawings.
- Integrates with common 3-D CAD solutions including SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, and Solid Edge.
- Import CAD files (individually or batch) with industry-standard formats including DWG and DXF.
- Import vector-based PDF files.
- Geometry is analyzed and “cleaned up” within tolerance to produce valid parts.
- Automatic spline conversion and entity reduction.
- Map incoming CAD layers to specific cutting and marking processes.
- Part library with advanced search features.
- Advanced part revision control.
- Parametric shape and feature creation and modification.
- User configurable automatic dimensioning.
- Extensive text placement and editing for NC processing.
Advanced Auto Nesting
STRIKER CAD/CAM provides extensive automatic nesting capability that easily adapts to your OEM or job shop manufacturing environments.
