- Advanced 2.5D Restmaterial
Advanced 2.5D Restmaterial
Rest machining is employed in roughing and cutting only occurs if material remains in a given area. In 2D operations within SolidCAM, the amount and location of rest material remaining is computed by having knowledge of the original stock, final part model, toolpaths generated, and cutting tools that have been employed. After each successive machining step, the rest material will be automatically updated. Rest material functions are also available for 3D and 3 + 2 multi-sided machining and also in 5-axis machining.
Tombstone Machining at it's best
- Tombstone Machining
SolidCAM is exceptionally strong in “tombstone” machining and is considered to be an industry leader in this type of machining. This can be a very important function in production machining. Parts can be placed anywhere on the “tombstone.” A home position is automatically determined. One can machine multiple copies of the same part on a single face of the “tombstone” or different machining setups for a given part can be placed on a “tombstone.” Both 2D and 3D milling can be performed on the same or multiple parts. Indexing to turn the “tombstone” is performed automatically. SolidCAM offers powerful simulation capabilities to check and control all your operations on the machine and outputs ready-to-go G-code.
