It can pick up ISO G-code, Isel-NCP or MasterCam-NCI files to supervise an automatic machining from 3 to 5 axes. Special module Kay is an independent 3D side programme. It can drive three axes XYZ or XAZ (cylindrical machining) and even manage a motorised orientable blade under control of 3rd or 4th axis. This module can be used alone with its own import functions, or directly from an external CAD system that can export tool paths. Started directly from the CAD module, it allows the user to parameter machining process (tool sequence, roughing and finishing passes, scales, filters, repeated cycles, resuming, parcelling, etc.), set workpiece origin using an intuitive dashboard that includes manual drive, automated tool measuring or memorised origin management, and supervise the remote machining process while the user can keep click control. Parameter setting include advanced machine control functions for special applications, and especially automatic input/output and delay management.ĭesign module integrated machine driver is Lancelot programme. Instead of the integrated one, it is possible to use an external post-processor that will be called directly by the machining command. Workspace and CNC machine settings are supervised from this module. Galaad can create a machining path on three axes. Keyboard co-ordinate entry, on-line snapping, plane and space handlings, dynamic visual dimensions, tool compensation, hatching and pocketing cycles and much more. All advanced functions dedicated to design aid are present with easy access. It allows the user to design 2❝ workpieces that are then machined directly by the machining module. The main - and oldest - module is Galaad programme. 3D driving module can also be purchased alone (see 'Prices' page). Licences for turning and programming modules alone can be purchased separately at lower cost, with ability to upgrade later. Galaad standard licence grants access to all modules with no restrictions. To define Galaad as simply as possible, keywords are: intuitive, easy, powerful, adaptable, integrated. It has been adopted successfully by absolute computer beginners and also CAD/CAM experts. Galaad great success comes from its surprising ease of use, which does not mean it offers too few advanced functions. 2❝ design functions are directly linked to milling and therefore include all facilities for path control, depths, drilling and feeding speeds, tool compensations, etc. However, number of 3D functions are no less usable from the CAD module, and particularly advanced 3D wiremesh creation or projections, bendings and other space handlings. it does not allow the user to create workpieces by direct handling of volumes and surfaces. Let us say right now that current version of Galaad is not 3D CAD software as usually defined, i.e.
