CAM Basics
What does CAM stand for in the context of ESPRIT software?
What is Computer-Aided Manufacturing?
Which ESPRIT feature allows the software to understand and simulate the machine's full kinematics and cycles?
What is digital twin?
What type of manufacturing is Hexagon Radan primarily designed for?
What is Sheet metal fabrication?
What type of manufacturing industry is VISI primarily designed for?
What is Mold and die making / Toolmaking?
What is g-code?
G-code is a programming language that provides the instructions for computer numerical control (CNC) machines and 3D printers, telling them where and how to move to create a physical object by cutting, machining, or extruding material.
Which type of machines can ESPRIT generate toolpaths for?
A. Manual Lathes
B. CNC Machines
C. 3D Printers
D. Injection Molding Machines
What are CNC Machines?
Which of the following is NOT a machine type ESPRIT supports?
A.) Swiss-type lathes
B.) 5 axis milling centers
C.) Laser cutting machines
D.) Turn-mill centers
What are laser cutting machines?
True or False: Radan is used for CNC programming of turning and milling machines.
False (Radan is focused on sheet metal processes)
True or False: VISI can handle both CAD design and CAM toolpath generation.
True. Hexagon VISI is a powerful CAD/CAM/CAE solution specifically designed for toolmakers — especially those working with mold and die design, plastic injection molds, and progressive die stamping.
This module calculates manufacturing costs for sheet metal parts, considering material usage and cycle times.
What is Radquote?
Which company currently develops ESPRIT CAM software?
Who is Hexagon?
True or False: ESPRIT supports both 2-axis and 5-axis milling.
What is True?
What is the primary goal of nesting in Radan?
What is to maximize material usage and minimize waste ?
VISI supports direct import of files from which of these CAD systems?
A) CATIA
B) Siemens NX
C) SolidWorks
D) All of the above
What is all of the above?
True or False: VISI CAM supports both 2D and 3D toolpaths.
False, (It supports milling, turning, mill-turn, EDM, Swiss-type, and mult-tasking machines)
What does CNC stand for?
What is Computer Numerical Control?
Which Radan module is specifically used for bending simulation and programming press brakes?
What is Radbend ?
What does CAE stand for?
What is Computer Aided Engineering?
True or False: VISI is only available as a standalone product and cannot integrate with other Hexagon manufacturing solutions.
What is False?
