As the ideal CAD/CAM solution for a diverse range of industries, WORKNC is used to serve the aerospace, automotive, defense, electronics, and medical sectors, among others. From prototype to production, WORKNC enables manufacturers to select their preferred level of automation and to customise programming processes to fit the needs of their shops.
Hexagon is proud of the quality of its customer service and, with the help of its worldwide service network, partners with customers to optimise the efficiency of CNC machinery.

The Solution
Manufacturers across the globe trust in the quality, reliability and user-friendliness of WORKNC, one of the most widely used CAD/CAM systems in the world. Hexagon continuously invests in customer service and research and development to provide customers with highly innovative CNC software technology.
Waveform roughing strategy
The Waveform roughing strategy is a high-speed machining technique that maintains a constant tool cutting load by ensuring that tool engagement with the material is consistent. The cycle’s smooth toolpath avoids sharp changes in direction, which help maintain machine-tool velocity. In addition to cutting machining time, use of the Waveform cycle extends tool life.
Advanced toolform roughing
WORKNC Advanced Toolform technology eliminates inaccuracies characteristic of traditional parametric toolpath calculation, resulting in more accurate roughing stock.
By calculating toolpath based on accurate cutting-tool dimensions, Advanced Toolform roughing reduces rest roughing time by up to 70 percent.
Auto5
A unique innovation in the field of 5-axis machining, WORKNC Auto5 automatically generates 5-axis toolpath from existing 3-axis toolpath, and takes into account the specific kinematics of the selected 5-axis milling centre.
Re-machining and finishing
Several re-machining and finishing strategies in WORKNC enable users to effortlessly tailor machining processes to their individual requirements. Re-machining strategies automatically detect remaining material, eliminating unnecessary tool movements and reducing machining time.
