It then calculates the most efficient tool load, one that makes every effort to machine with the full length of the cutter, instead of just the tip as is more common in CAM applications. The Technology Wizard takes into consideration the machine being used, the material being cut, and the entire geometry and material of the cutting tool. The company claims its new iMachining technology optimizes tool engagement and cutting feed through the entire tool path, reducing cutting times by up to 70% by allowing deeper and more efficient cutting. (Source: SolidCAM)īased in Brno, Czech Republic, SolidCAM has been developing CAM tools for 23 years and was an early third-party application for SolidWorks. SolidCAM iMachining includes new algorithms to provide morphing spirals, reducing over-engagement of a cutting tool. The module is part of SolidCAM 2011, now available as an add-on to SolidWorks. SolidCAM claims its new iMachining milling software offers a significant improvement over existing computer-aided maching software, due to a new knowledge-based Technology Wizard.
The company is a Gold-certified SolidWorks developer.
The Wizard, part of its new iMachining module, is now available in SolidCAM 2011.
