Why Optimize MyProgramming /3D Scanner?

Optimize MyProgramming /3D Scanner is an add-on for SINUMERIK Operate, which revolutionizes shopfloor-oriented CNC programming by

  • Creating CNC programs directly based on 3D CAD models
  • Detecting manufacturable features in the workpiece design
  • Suggesting suitable SINUMERIK machining cycles
  • Avoiding manual input of geometry information

Also available within the CNC Digital Twin: Run MyVirtual Machine

Accelerate shopfloor-oriented CNC programming

The system automatically identifies machinable features in your CAD model and suggests suitable manufacturing strategies. Creating a program becomes picking-and-placing preconfigured cycles, which saves time.

Avoid programming errors

Transferring workpiece geometry directly from the CAD model into the CNC controller instead of entering parameters from technical drawings avoids human error due to reinterpretation of information.

Reduce training effort

The programming approach based on 3D CAD geometry is also accessible to less experienced operators. Moreover, people who are familiar with the well-known SINUMERIK Operate usability concept can get productive immediately.

Featured capabilities

Use 3D CAD models instead of 2D paper drawings

Bring 3D CAD models in STEP format directly to the CNC machine. All geometric information captured in the data set can be reused in the CNC program without referring to 2D technical drawings - often printed on paper. A digital thread from design to manufacturing, which increases productivity and helps to avoid errors.

Benefit from automated feature detections

Quickly create a CNC program by picking from a list of preconfigured machining cycles. Most prismatic shapes that are supported by the existing range of SINUMERIK milling and turning cycles will be automatically detected in the workpiece geometry. All geometry parameters such as contours or cutting depths are already derived from the CAD model.

Combine programming strategies effectively

Optimize MyProgramming /3D Scanner extends the programming capabilities of SINUMERIK Operate. Hence, the 3D-driven approach can be flexibly combined with G-Code-based programs (program guide) or existing patterns offered by ShopMill & ShopTurn. You decide what best matches the specific requirements of your manufacturing task.
