Free Delcam workshops

Delcam will host a series of free workshops on the latest developments in CAM technology at its Birmingham headquarters on Wednesday 22nd September. The day will feature four sessions on 5-axis machining, feature-based programming, integrated CAM for SolidWorks and software for metrology.

Each one-hour-long presentation will be repeated four times during the day, giving all delegates the opportunity to custom-make their itinerary to fit their preferred interests and timings.

The 5-axis machining session provides an introduction to the programming of 5-axis machines with Delcam's PowerMILL CAM system. It will include details on a new PowerMILL module for the programming of robots for machining.

The second presentation will show how FeatureCAM's highly-automated, knowledge-based programming, with machining strategies, tooling, feeds and speeds set by the software, makes the system ideal for those with little CAM experience or for occasional users. Delcam's FeatureCAM was the first feature-based CAM system when it was launched in 1995.

The third session will show how integration makes access to Delcam's powerful machining strategies easy for SolidWorks users. Delcam for SolidWorks is a CAM system that is fully integrated into the SolidWorks environment so that the program looks and behaves like SolidWorks. The software offers full associativity so that any changes in the CAD model are reflected automatically in the toolpaths.

The final session available will cover Delcam's software for metrology, in particular the PowerINSPECT program, the hardware-independent inspection system for comparison of parts, tooling and prototypes against CAD data on all types of inspection device. It will show how machining and inspection can be integrated more closely, in developments like electronic fixturing and on-machine verification, to give more efficient manufacturing and higher-quality results.
