For instance, ‘Roll-Split’ see the roll split to the required dimensions for a specific machine bed. Certain manufacturers need to nest shapes on to rolled sheets, so the nest can be quite long.
With Roll Split, parts are nested on a sheet that represents the length of the roll required as a long rectangle. Maximum and minimum distances are set and Alphacam determines the best position for the sheet ends.
Further enhancements have been added to the simulation function, which now supports solid toolholders of any type, supporting collision detection.
Minor enhancements include those to Alphacam’s 5-axis toolpath creation. One is to ‘Machining Styles’, which now remembers selection criteria without showing the dialogue box.
