Design for Machining

Prospector Design is an application included included with Prospector to address the need for NC programmers to prepare design data for machining.  With Prospector Design you can:

• Create Prospector projects from discrete components of a 3D assembly by extracting the design data from the assembly for each component you wish to machine.
• Eliminate unwanted or unnecessary design data that has nothing to do with NC programming.
• Refine 2D data from detailed drawings by removing unwanted annotation and re-tracing or stitching together disjoint geometry to create nice bounded profiles for machining.
• Create persistent geometry for Prospector projects to facilitate machining (i.e. drive curves for machining ribs).
• Creating simple 2D geometry from part prints.
• Analyzing the integrity of imported design data for over-defined and duplicate geometry.
