ü	Dimensioning and notes capabilities help with shop floor documentation
ü	Custom tool graphics help you visualize special tool as well as the standard ball, bull-nosed, and square tools supported by the software.

Capture Your Manufacturing Expertise

ü	Job Operation Planner
	The Job Operation Planner is a unique SmartCAM function that helps you organize and store tooling and machining operations information so you can capture proven machining methods and reuse them.
ü	Customization
	Almost everything about SmartCAM application-from the user interface to the way code is output-can be customized to streamline your work. SmartCAM applications put you, not the computer, in control

The SmartCAM Production Milling Advantage

SmartCAM applications are the best value in the CAM marketplace. The means you get maximum return on your investment. As your business grows, the SmartCAM family of applications for 2½ through 5-axis milling, 2-through 6-axis turning, 2-through 5-axis Wire EDM and fabrication will continue to meet your competitive needs.

SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication v16

A complete 3-D solution for CNC punches, burners, lasers, waterjets, and punch / plasma machines

SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication

SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication™ software creates optimized toolpath and code for a variety of CNC machines, including punches, burners, lasers, waterjets, punch/plasma, and punch/laser combinations. Not only will SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication help you reduce scrap and improve your fabrication processes, but like all SmartCAM® applications, it is designed to help you reduce programming time and deliver your customer's parts quicker.
Ease of Use

SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication runs on Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication's graphical user interface uses manufacturing terminology and logical operational sequences that even first time users will find familiar and experienced users can apply quickly.

Compatibility

SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication takes design information from any CAD system. IGES, DXF and CAMCAD Standard™ CAM Connections turn design elements into part profiles properly sequenced for machining.

Shorten Part Delivery Times

SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication provides comprehensive solutions that help you get jobs done faster and shorten part delivery times, including:
ü	Fast, flexible toolpath geometry.
ü	Better organize your data using Containers, Show/Hide, improved Layer
ü	functions and View Filters
ü	Auto-indexing support for an unlimited number of tools.
ü	Automated area clearance with spiral or zigzag routines.
ü	Auto Tool Select searches profiles for common fabrication shapes, then searches the job operation setup file, and automatically selects tools that fit the shapes. It then creates tool path for removing material from inside the profiles using the selected tools.
ü	The Profile Modeling Tool creates centerline tool path for a single cutting pass.
ü	Canned cycle support for bolt hole circles and grids at any angle.
ü	Automated folding and unfolding compensates for bend allowances and unfolds the part in a single step. (Because SmartCAM is a full 3-D system, you can modify geometry on the part before or after unfolding it.)
ü	Automatic flat pattern layouts for HVAC transition pieces.
ü	Toolpath optimization functions that will automatically find the most efficient tool motion.
ü	Automatic or interactive nesting, including subroutine support that saves material. (SmartCAM will tell you if your subroutines provide optimal toolpath, giving you the choice of using them or not.)

Eliminate Surprises

Visual verification capabilities improve product quality and save you machine time and material costs .
ü	SmartCAM's graphic model will show you how your part will be cut on the machine you specify.
ü	Because you are working with a fabrication process model, and not just geometry, you can see how clamps, hold downs, trap doors, and material repositioning will affect the manufacturing process.
ü	Custom tool graphics let you create the tool shape you need to improve the accuracy of your hits.
ü	Dimensioning, report generation, and notes capabilities help with shop floor documentation.

Capture Your Manufacturing Expertise

	SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication provides a number of fast, automatic job solutions, but enables you to have the final say on how an operation will be done. Almost everything about SmartCAM applications from the user interface to the way code is output can be customized to streamline your work. Powerful macro tools can record your input on one job and then be reused or modified. SmartCAM puts you, not the computer, in control.

The SmartCAM Advanced Fabrication Advantage

SmartCAM applications are the best value in the CAM marketplace. That means you get maximum return on your investment. And as your business grows, the SmartCAM family of applications for 2½ - through 5- axis milling, 2- through 6-axis turning, 2- through 5-axis Wire EDM and fabrication will continue to meet your competitive needs.

DNC & Editing Software

DNC 9 is the newest software from Antech used for managing large no of part programs in high tech CNC shops. This NT/win 2000/XP compatible software provides simultaneous data communication up to 32 CNC machines. With this unique capability, several operators can work at the same time on separate part programs within the same shop. And with immediate access to the desired data from CAD CAM lab. There are also many other intangible benefits associated with such an investment which can dramatically out weigh the productivity gains (i.e., re-work of nc programs , accessing the latest parameters, diagnostics parameters, revisions, re-use of data by other applications, data corruption etc.) with access to a large PC hard disk memory
