Machining
Boost precision, reduce programming time, and streamline workflows with DELMIA’s advanced CAM automation for efficient manufacturing.
What is the Value of DELMIA Machining Software?
DELMIA Machining is an advanced CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software designed to optimize CNC programming, simulation, and machining operations. It provides a complete, integrated 3D modeling & simulation of the entire machining process, from tool assembly to tool path. As a result, operators can instantly update machine programs, quickly see the impact of changes, and optimize machining operations for maximum efficiency and quality.
Optimize Machining Programming and Operations
Our CAM software for CNC machining supports a wide range of machining operations, from milling and turning to multi-axis machining, allowing you to tackle any project with confidence. Users can simulate the real behavior of complex machine tools, and quickly generate G-code for CNC machines. The solution provides ease of use by implementing a standardized user interface for programming machines of all types, making it easier to incorporate and deploy new machine tools. This approach delivers a reduction of lead-time from design to production and reduces programming hours by up to 80% for modified versions of existing parts and products. DELMIA Machining software lays the foundation for continuous improvement by capturing and reusing knowledge through templates, tool setups and cell designs.

Simulation in a Virtual Twin Environment
Real-time toolpath verification accurately calculates the toolpath ensuring it performs as designed. All other elements of the work cell can be simulated including
- Part loading
- Tooling clamping
- Cutting tool activation
- Start of machine
This simulation helps our users to reduce the machine setup time by 50-60% on average. It drastically reduces the number of iterations during the test run. In addition, intermediate stock function helps to see how the subsequent machining operations will impact machining.
Programming Automation and Knowledge Management
Leverage knowledge management to automate CAM software for CNC machining to achieve:
- Auto-generation of NC code, reducing programming time through automation and tool path re–reuse
- Ability to define program templates and to reuse NC programs, definitions of cutting tools and machines
- Capability to store your company’s know how to quickly create new programs based on proven previously used sequences of operations
- Collaborative environment to access to NC programming, data management and cutting tools in a single environment across programming offices and multiple locations
- Automatic management of associativity between processes, products, NC programs, machines, accessories, tools and tool assemblies in a single unified database

Integrated CAD/CAM Environment
DELMIA supports the CAD/CAM Workflow by optimizing critical stages like design, post-processing, and simulation, emphasizing automation and efficiency. This leads to:
- Better collaboration between Designers & NC Programmers to improve engineering efficiency with automatic operations update on geometrical design modification detection
- Machining operations are calculated on exact geometry generating faster and higher quality toolpaths on CAD model geometry and not on meshed data
- No time is wasted on file transfers as all activities share the same data
- Single platform for all machining data enabling sharing of programs, cutting tool information and programming best practices, across many programming offices
- Improved live collaboration across departments and with suppliers avoiding e-mail disconnected communication thanks to ability to share design and project data with annotations with every stakeholders
Available on the Cloud
With DELMIA CNC Machining software on the cloud, users gain access to data anytime and anywhere. This also includes:
- Automatic updates and upgrades
- Company data are protected from unauthorized access and loss thanks highest security standards implemented in the solution
- Lower IT infrastructure and maintenance costs
- Improved collaboration across departments
- Enhanced synchronization between NC programming and design; and between NC Programming and the shopfloor
- Improved collaboration and best practices sharing across locations and with customers
Post Processor
After the NC program creation, it is key that the programs are translated into ISO code which can be read by a NC controller. Multiple options are available in DELMIA Machining software to realize the translation. In addition:
- Use the embedded post processor generator On Cloud to generate ISO codes for machines having not more than 3+2 axis simultaneous movements
- Implement standard post-processors delivered from our partner inside the application for On Premise and On Cloud solutions or contact one of our partner to customize a dedicated post-processor according to your exact specifications
