SmartCAM V16.5. Version 16.5 delivers new features, enhancements and capabilities to the SmartCAM suite of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system software, including automated turning toolpath created directly from a solid model, as well as solid model verification and usability improvements.
The SmartCAM product family consists of applications for Computer-Numerical Control (CNC) milling, turning, fabrication and wire EDM. Version 16.5 continues the solids-machining theme found in the many recent releases, and adds significant improvements for the everyday use of solid data in SmartCAM.
"Following directly on our recent addition of prismatic milling of solids in our advanced products, we now are introducing solid machining capabilities to SmartCAM Advanced Turning," said Doug Oliver, senior product manager at SmartCAMcnc. "These new automated toolpath creation capabilities provide SmartCAM Turning customers a dramatic improvement in productivity, and we are confident our customers will find them very useful."
These new processes allow the SmartCAM Advanced Turning user to easily create roughing, semi-finishing and finishing toolpath directly from the surfaces of a solid model in a single step. The roughing options are: linear roughing, contour roughing and groove roughing; the semi-finishing and finishing toolpath are created using the profile process.
SmartCAM V16.5 also provides a variety of core improvements that make it easier to work with solids data, and for making the everyday use of SmartCAM faster and more straightforward.
