Manual CMM programming consumes valuable engineering hours and creates major inspection bottlenecks. Programmers often spend days clicking CAD models to define probe paths and tolerance checks manually. The MiCAT PLANNER AUTOMATIC PART PROGRAM eliminates this tedious workflow completely. This intelligent software automatically converts 3D CAD models with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) into optimized measurement programs within minutes.

Key Features of MiCAT Planner Automatic Part Programming

Quality control teams adopt this smart programming engine for several powerful capabilities:

• Automatic Path Generation: Reads embedded CAD tolerance data to create collision-free probe paths instantly.

• Up to 95% Time Savings: Reduces CMM programming time from hours down to just a few mouse clicks.

• Optimized Probe Movements: Calculates the shortest probe routes to minimize overall cycle times significantly.

• Universal CAD Compatibility: Supports major 3D CAD formats, including STEP, IGES, and native solid models.

Primary Industrial Applications

High-precision manufacturing sectors rely on this automated software to streamline quality control:
