How does Camworks work with PDM? Seems like after the part has finished design and become finalised, any work in Camworks necessitates further revisioning of the file. No?
If by PDM you mean Product Data Management, that information actually comes from the CNC machine after the Camworks file has been downloaded to the machine. Using data from the machine and the file made in Camworks, PDM will send data back to your PC about the runtime, tool change time, and any down time accumulated running the job. Depending on your PDM vendor, you can get a lot more drilled down information as well.
