Delcam’s FeatureCAM 2014 R3 focuses on ease-of-use
The 2014 R3 release of Delcam's FeatureCAM feature-based CAM system includes a range of enhancements said to make the software even easier to use.
For instance, a newly developed command allows entire parts or projects to be mirrored more easily than before. The option supports parts to be milled with multiple set-ups, including 2.5D, 3D and 3+2-axis configurations. Both 'Move' and 'Copy' options are available to reflect all the features within the part relative to a choice of a particular plane, line or axis in which to mirror.
Continuous enhancements have also been made to the FeatureCAM user interface. One simple improvement makes tool windows respond to machine choice. Another change allows the picking of the bottom radius of solid faces through curvature analysis, while FeatureCAM 2014 R3 also gives more control when creating Z-level roughing toolpaths.
