PEPS is a modular CAD/CAM software suite from Camtek Ltd. designed to streamline CNC programming for precision cutting, with particular strength in wire EDM and profile-cutting technologies. It helps manufacturers move from CAD to verified NC code quickly and reliably, improving part quality, material utilization, and machine uptime.
Key capabilities:
- Wire EDM programming: Efficient 2- and 4-axis toolpaths, multi-pass strategies, corner controls, tagging, and technology tables, with post processors for major controllers (e.g., Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Sodick, Makino, AgieCharmilles).
- Profile cutting: Dedicated modules for laser, waterjet, and plasma, including true-shape nesting, common-line cutting, micro-joints/bridging, lead-in/out optimization, bevel/5-axis options, and tube/sheet cutting workflows.
- CAD and data exchange: Robust 2D/3D geometry tools and translators for common formats (such as DXF, DWG, IGES, and STEP), plus model healing and cleanup to ensure machinable geometry.
- Simulation and verification: Visual toolpath verification with collision and overcut checks to reduce on-machine edits and scrap.
- Post processing and customization: Extensive, machine-specific post processors with configurable output to match shop standards and controller requirements.
- Production efficiency: Batch processing, job management, and nesting strategies that reduce programming time and material waste.
PEPS is used across precision engineering, tool and die, aerospace, automotive, medical, and sheet-metal fabrication, where repeatable accuracy and fast turnaround are critical. It runs on Windows and can be licensed in modules so shops can adopt only the capabilities they need.
