The use of traditional automation tools, which have become widespread in design and
engineering departments, is not always suitable, or rather, it is almost always not suitable
for solving production problems. Here we need other opportunities and other software and
hardware solutions.
Fig. 1. The nominal model of the product. An example of successful implementation and
application of the ADEM system at the Moscow enterprise
MPO named after Rumyantsev can serve as such proof.
Below we will tell you step by step about the order of work
that took place at the enterprise, where, in addition to
the implementation of the system, the technology of
manufacturing the part was debugged and the post-
processor was refined for complex equipment.
A huge role in the process of preparing a model for
processing is played by the readiness of the
system, which is used by designers, to generate
export data. Experience shows that in this area
