CAM software strategies that define how a tool moves through a part can have a profound impact on machining efficiency. By themselves, however, even the most advanced tool paths don’t account for some of the unique circumstances that dictate how machinists cut parts in real-world manufacturing situations.

That said, why should the role of CAM software stop with the tool path? What if the software could not only generate an effective strategy for tool motion, but also intelligently apply that strategy according to application-specific variables? That’s precisely the idea behind iMachining CAM software from SolidCAM (Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania).
