PAS CMM for SolidWorks reduces up to 97% of CMM programming time

PAS Technology, developer of the revolutionary PAS CMM automation software, announced the release of PAS CMM for SolidWorks, an add-on that enables SolidWorks CAM users to automate CMM programming directly from their familiar SolidWorks environment.

With PAS CMM for SolidWorks, users can utilize their SolidWorks models or drawings, including GD&T, to create CMM programs in three easy steps that take minutes instead of hours or days. The integrated solution supports the generation of CMM programs suitable to any CMM machine in a DMIS environment.

“We are excited to bring our solution to the SolidWorks world,” said Sam Golan, PAS Technology’s President and CEO. “PAS CMM has a successful track record of enabling leading manufacturers to dramatically reduce the time and effort required to produce CMM programs. The tight integration between the two products will provide even greater time and cost savings to organizations that use SolidWorks.”

Visitors to the 2010 SOLIDWORKS World will be able to see a demonstration of the PAS CMM solution in booth #445. The event will take place in Anaheim CA, from January 31st until February 3rd. PAS CMM for SolidWorks is available immediately from PAS Technology and authorized resellers. For more information, see the PAS Technology website.
