Adds anti-tipping microjoints, new nesting direction options, faster NC code generation and nine new postprocessors for more machines.
JETCAM International s.a.r.l. has released version 25.12 of JETCAM Expert CAD/CAM software, adding updates focused on productivity and automation for sheet metal and composite fabrication.
Key updates include:
- Anti-tipping microjoints: Automatically applied on nested parts when using slat geometry files with Automatic Ordering or JET-Cut fly cutting to help prevent parts from tipping during cutting operations and reduce the risk of machine head crashes.
- Auto extend license management: Adds automated license and maintenance extension that validates soft licenses online with JETCAM servers, including for remote server deployments where license visibility is limited.
- Ultra performance nesting updates: Adds nesting direction options (“To Corner,” “Horizontal,” “Vertical”), improves hole scrap utilization and automatically renests smaller parts within holes of larger components to improve material use and leave more usable remnants.
- Optimized NC code generation: Improves speed across Generic postprocessors, especially for nests with large numbers of components.
- Improved file handling performance: Improves speed when opening files with large numbers of segments, including when intersection point calculation is enabled.
Additional enhancements include:
- Nine new postprocessors supporting machines from Murata, Pathfinder, Mitsubishi, HK Laser, Eastman, Boschert, Oree, FlexiCAM, and Houfek
- Updates to multiple existing postprocessors to support new machine capabilities including JET-Cut automatic fly cutting functionality.
- Improved simulator performance with enhanced path optimization and simulation speed.
- Enhanced Remote Control Processing (RCP) with template nesting support and custom NC file path options.
- New hole size limit options for sheet usage efficiency calculations.
- Support for tighter CrossTrack application integration via a new direct communications platform.
- Hundreds of bug fixes and stability improvements across all modules.
JETCAM Expert v25 is available immediately free of charge for customers with current maintenance contracts.
