High-precision CAM system with totally simplified operating environment, utilizing the reliable CAM calculation program.
USER INTERFACE

High-precision and high-efficient machining can be provided, as users operate the system to match the required products quality.

3DCAM

Project

Main Menu The user-friendly interface enables the user to create NC data easily, using the main menu in order from the left. To create NC data, users only need to prepare a machining project and apply a template, then start CAM calculation and check the results. Process List Process List, corresponding to the project tree view, assists in the safe and accurate operation. Some parameter values can be confirmed and revised on Process List too.

Z-level Roughing
Create Z-level offset tool-paths for roughing. Insert trochoid and Insert R reduce the cuttingload, and contribute to keeping a constant feed-rate. Non-rectangular solid can be specified as Stock, which allows users to create flexible tool-paths corresponding to machining conditions.

Rest Machining
The system automatically detects the uncut area of previous process, and generates tool-paths for the remains. It is possible to machine efficiently for each portion, cutting by along-surface tool-paths at gently sloping area, and cutting by Z-level tool-paths at steep and groove area. The uncut area can be recognized correctly since any types of cutting-tool (ball/radius/square end-mill) can be utilized.

Z-level Finishing
Z-level Finishing, which performs climb milling, assures quality high speed and high-precision machining. Spiral tool-paths can be also created, which contributes to the reduction of connecting-moves. This is the best way to machine automatically since gently sloping area and horizontal area can be also executed at once.

Template Process List

Project Setting All parameters related with machine settings, such as Project type (3-axis or Multi-axis), Shape to machine, Stock, Cutting origin and Tool initial position, can be specified on the single dialog box. Low Angle Finishing Template Template is the function to save and recall standardized processes. Users can apply reliable machining processes easily after machining projects or processes are registered as Favorites. Machining Process Main dialog box consists of only main parameters. Others are allocated on detail dialog box. Specifying a formula by using Macro variables as a parameter value is also available. This allows the revision of some input values automatically, such as lead-in radius relating with tool diameter, when tool-diameter or feed-rate, etc. are changed.
The system extracts gently sloping portion automatically by specified angle, and generates tool-paths there. Users can select Scanning or Offset Path (around the area) as a traveling type, so that it is possible to machine efficiently corresponding to the feature of Shape to machine.

Surface Finishing
Creating tool-paths along the mesh direction of the specified surface. This cutting mode is useful for additional-machining and part-machining, and also considers the safety of processing for the gap between surfaces.

Corner Processing
Creating tool-paths for concave ridge-line portion where smaller cutting tool is often used. It is possible to reduce the cutting-load because the system controls cutting direction automatically corresponding to the angle of the ridge-line. Moreover, Driving-in, which removes the stock step by step, contributes to maintain a consistent cutting-load.

The system automatically extracts horizontal area from Shape to machine, and generates tool-paths there. Tool-paths are supposed to travel around the area with climbing-cut direction. This cutting mode is useful to machine horizontal area with radius or square end-mill.

This cutting mode corresponds to the engraving for Sketch or 3D Sketch entities. It is possible to machine groove-portion, edge-line and letters-on-surface precisely, utilizing Drive Z function.

Not only ball end-mill but also radius and square end-mill can be used for pencil cutting. Tool-paths are created along the edge-line which the system automatically detects.
