Special numerical control machining software of blades based on UG

In order to increase the efficiency of design and manufacturing blades, a special numerical control machining software based on the graphics programming technology was developed. The numerical control machining software was developed by UG/Open API functions, provided by Unigraphics software, to reduce the research periods and heavy work in developing the numerical control machining software. The developed software is based on the system database and consists of blade CAD module and blade CAM module. Blade CAD module is used for parametric design of the blade. Blade CAM module is used for generating cutting tracks and numerical control machining files. The numerical control machining software integrates the design and manufacture of blades, increases the efficiency and quality of blade manufacture and reduces the manufactural cost of blades successfully.
