CNC Machining Software by Dassault Systèmes

CNC machining software is a digital tool that automates and streamlines the programming, simulation, and control of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines used in manufacturing. It integrates CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) to convert digital models into precise machining instructions. CNC machining software helps quickly generate accurate toolpaths, verify processes virtually, and significantly reduce manual errors and machining time.

High-Mix, Low-Volume Manufacturing

If you produce a variety of custom or low-volume parts (common in aerospace, defense, and medical industries), our software helps you program new parts quickly and accurately. Shorten the time from CAD model to machined part, even when every job is different. Automated feature recognition and template toolpaths shine here – you can adapt to engineering changes or new designs in minutes, not hours, keeping your delivery times short.

Complex Geometry and 5-Axis Machining

For aerospace components, automotive prototypes, or intricate mold & die work, you often need multi-axis CNC strategies. DELMIA Machining tools excel at complex toolpath generation. Machine even the most complicated surfaces with confidence thanks to full kinematic simulation (avoid collisions on those expensive 5-axis machines). You can optimize cutting strategies for hard materials or tight tolerances, ensuring the final product meets exact specifications.

End-to-End Digital Manufacturing

Companies aiming for a smart factory or end-to-end digital thread benefit from our unified platform. For example, in industrial equipment manufacturing, a design engineer uses CATIA or SOLIDWORKS to create a part, the NC programmer uses DELMIA to generate and simulate the NC program, and shop floor operators receive optimized G-code – all without manual data re-entry. This integration reduces errors from hand-offs and provides traceability from design through production. The result is a faster production cycle and a single source of truth for all teams.

Job Shops & Contract Manufacturers

If you’re a job shop taking on various customer projects, ease-of-use and flexibility are key. Our solutions allow you to quickly quote and program parts by evaluating machinability early. With cloud-enabled collaboration (via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform), you can even showcase simulations to clients to instill confidence. Short learning curves and standardized interfaces mean your programmers can work on different machines or projects without constantly switching software – boosting overall productivity.

Continuous Improvement in Manufacturing

Use the data and feedback from our software to improve future jobs. For instance, track machining times and tool performance within the system. Over time, refine your processes (e.g., adjust feeds/speeds or tool selections) and update your templates. Our CNC software thus becomes a learning system for your manufacturing – every project makes the next one more efficient. Companies involved in mass production appreciate this, as even small optimizations can lead to big savings at scale.
