WorkNC CADCAM parallel computing capabilities

Sescoi unveiled its WorkNC parallel features (multi-threading and multi processing) for the first time at Euromold 09. WorkNC’s parallel computing capabilities enable it to take advantage of the speed of the latest multi-processor computers by splitting computational tasks between processors, reducing memory requirements and greatly increasing the speed of calculation. WorkNC users have long had the ability to program the next part while calculating the previous one, and can set-up a queue of jobs to be calculated out of normal working hours. The new parallel algorithms will extend and further improve these capabilities, virtually eliminating waiting times, bringing an optimized toolpath to the machine tool in a fraction of the time previously possible.
