Automatic Hole Feature Recognition and Machining Processes

SolidCAM’s Automatic Feature Recognition and Machining (AFRM) module automates the manufacturing of parts with multiple drills and complex holes. SolidCAM automatically recognizes all the hole features in the solid model and generates the tool path for the machining using knowledge-based Machining Processes stored in the Technology database. Manufacturing can be automated and all shop personnel can benefit from the expertise of the most skilled programmer who creates the knowledge database.
 
While providing CNC-programming automation to the user, the AFRM technology still gives the user optional control over all machining parameters.
 

Jobs and machining procedures can be saved in an internal database. All parameters can be defined to be either user-input-dependant, automatic (read-only), or as a result of variables and equations. The machinig process offers programming automation
without any loss of user-control over the machining result.
