SmartCAM FreeForm Machining
SmartCAM FreeForm Machining is the
most powerful milling solution in the
SmartCAM ® family of applications. It
builds on the strength of SmartCAM
Advanced Milling™ by adding multiplesurface capabilities for or a full range of
parts from 2-axis work to complex 3-axis
molds, dies, and prototypes. It is one of
the fastest machining systems available.
All SmartCAM applications are designed
to help you reduce your programming
time and more quickly deliver your
customer’s parts.
Solid Model Profile Finishing
Create finish and multi-pass, semifinishing toolpath from solids
containing prismatic features.and
complex surfaces.
Surface Creation & Editing
Create Spun, Translated, Draft,
Ruled, Lofted, Coons or From-Mesh
surfaces. Editing tools support
trimming, punching, and splitting
surfaces.
Z-Level Contour Rough and
Finish Machining
Provides efficient and accurate
roughing and finish toolpath for faster
cycle times.
Parallel Plane Machining
Includes straightline machining
across multiple surfaces, uphill-only
cutting, and z-increment roughing,
with climb and conventional cutting
options.
Containment Boundaries
Parallel plane machining supports a
single or group of user defined
toolpath containment boundaries for
maximum toolpath control.
Pencil Milling
Remove material left over from
previous machining operations
along fillets and surface
intersections.
Projection Machining
Automatically project any toolpath
on to a group of surfaces for
maximum efficiency when
machining mold cores, detail work,
or lettering.
Intelligent Pocketing
Select from spiral, linear, or zigzag
routines. Freeform Machining
automatically calculates correct
toolpath, recognizing multilevel
islands and open profiles.
Regenerative Toolpath
Process parameters are held in
Containers so that the process and
resulting toolpath c be easily
modified and regenerated to meet
new machining requirements.
Automatic Hole Making
Holes can be automatically grouped
by size or location to apply single
or multiple hole-making processes
such as spot drilling, drilling and
tapping.
Ease of Use
SmartCAM applications operate on
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional,
Microsoft Vista® Business, Windows
XP® and Windows 2000 operating
systems. The user interface uses
manufacturing terminology and logical
operation sequences that even first time
users will find familiar and experienced
users can apply quickly.
Shorten Part Delivery Times
FreeForm Machining offers a variety of
rough and finish machining strategies
providing the flexibility to manufacture
the way you want, and helping you
shorten manufacturing time.
