Edgecam 2026.1

Faster, smarter, and without delay: the new standard with EDGECAM 2026.1. In a modern production environment, every second counts. Machines run continuously, deadlines are tight, and the pressure to deliver flawlessly is higher than ever.

Faster, smarter, and without delay: the new standard with EDGECAM 2026.1. In a modern production environment, every second counts. Machines run continuously, deadlines are tight, and the pressure to deliver flawlessly is higher than ever. It is precisely in this world that EDGECAM 2026.1 makes the difference. This new version is not just an update, but a clear step towards a future where CNC programming is faster, smarter, and more reliable. It starts with something every programmer recognizes: waiting. Waiting for a simulation to rewind, waiting for a check to finish, waiting to move on. With EDGECAM 2026.1, that waiting disappears almost completely. Rewinding is now almost instantaneous, whereas previously it could take dozens of seconds. In practice, this means that programmers navigate smoothly through complex programs, iterate faster, and detect errors sooner. This results in enormous time savings, especially for extensive 5-axis machining. But speed alone is not enough. Certainly not when the work ultimately comes to life on the shop floor. That is why EDGECAM bridges the gap between programmer and operator. With the new 3D simulation recordings in Live Job Reports, the machining strategy becomes visible, understandable, and directly accessible. Operators can see exactly what is going to happen in their browser – rotating, zooming, and playing back – without needing EDGECAM themselves. This leads to fewer misunderstandings, fewer setup errors, and above all, more confidence on the shop floor. At the same time, artificial intelligence is also making its entrance. With the integrated HEXAGON Copilot, the programmer gets a digital assistant that thinks along, advises, and can help quickly. Not a replacement for craftsmanship, but an enhancement of it. The result: less manual work, more consistency, and a productivity level that was previously difficult to achieve. Read more on our website.
