High Speed Surface Machining [HSS]
SolidCAM HSS is a high speed surface machining module for smooth and powerful machining of localized surface areas in the part, including undercuts. It provides easy selection of the surfaces to be machined, with no need to define the boundaries. It supports both standard and shaped tools.
HSS is the CAM module that take your 2.5D machining way beyond profiles, pockets and faces, providing a 3D machining capability, by driving along specific surfaces on prismatic and 3D parts.
The HSS toolpath is focused on single or multiple surfaces. HSS excells in creating a flowing toolpath on a group of surfaces that make up a complex 3D radius e.g. fillets.
You experience total tool control to attack only the areas you choose, without the need of constraint boundaries or time wasting construction geometry. Give yourself the power to use Tapered, Lollipop, or T-Slot tools for undercuts or difficult to cut geometry all in one package.
Powerful Surface Machining Strategies
The SolidCAM HSS Module provide numerous surface machining strategies, that produce an efficient, smooth, gouge-free and optimal toolpath to finish the selected surfaces. HSS provides special toolpath linking strategies, generating smooth and tangential lead-ins and lead-outs. The linking moves between the toolpaths can be controlled by the user to avoid holes and slots, without the need to modify the model’s surface. Retracts can be performed to any major plane.
Advanced Gouge Control
Complete Gouge Control is available for Holder, Arbor and Tool. Adjoining Check Surfaces that are to be avoided can be selected. Several retract strategies are available, under user control.
Improved surface quality
The advantages of the SolidCAM HSS module translate to significantly increased surface quality. The SolidCAM HSS module is an important add-on for every machine shop for the machining of all types of parts.
