Delcam’s latest CAM developments on show in Brazil
Delcam’s Brazilian reseller, SEACAM, will demonstrate the latest versions of its range of CADCAM software at the Fiera da Mecanica exhibition to be held in Sao Paolo from 22nd to 26th May.
- (1888PressRelease) May 16, 2012 - Delcam employs the largest team of CAM developers of any supplier and the results of their work will be seen in 2012 releases of PowerMILL for high-speed and five-axis machining, FeatureCAM for feature-based programming, PartMaker for Swiss-type lathes and turn-mill equipment, ArtCAM for artistic applications and the Delcam for SolidWorks integrated CAM system.
Together, these programs comprise the world’s most comprehensive range of CAM software from a single suppler. This broad coverage is one of the reasons why Delcam has been ranked as the world’s leading specialist supplier of NC software and services by US analysts Cimdata for the past eleven years. It means that large companies can source all of their CAM requirements from a single supplier, while smaller organisations can be sure that they can obtain exactly the software they need, rather than having to accept a compromise solution.
SEACAM will also demonstrate the 2012 versions of Delcam’s PowerSHAPE design and reverse engineering software and the PowerINSPECT inspection system.
The 2012 R2 version of Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system for high-speed and five-axis machining includes new and enhanced strategies for both roughing and finishing, such as step cutting within area clearance and the ability to use polar milling when programming machines with a rotary table. Full details of both the 2012R1 and R2 releases, including videos demonstrating the new functionality, can be seen on www.delcam.tv/pm2012/lz.
The 2012 R2 release of FeatureCAM also includes important new strategies for roughing and turn-mill operations, alongside a range of more general enhancements to allow faster toolpath generation. The main addition is a series of new strategies for 2.5D roughing, including a continuous spiral option to minimise wear on the cutter and machine tool, high-speed roughing options, including trochoidal machining and Delcam’s patented Race Line Machining, and "tear-drop” moves to clear corners more smoothly. Videos of this functionality can be seen on www.delcam.tv/fc2012/lz.
Major highlights of the 2012 release of PartMaker include improved visualisation, more powerful simulation of vertical and horizontal machining centres, support for the latest breed of multi-axis bar-fed mills, turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes, greater flexibility and control in process development. New rotary machining functionality allows the user to perform 3D surface machining using cylindrical interpolation, while the software’s powerful Full Machine Simulation technology has been extended to vertical and horizontal machining centres. These options can be seen on www.delcam.tv/pmk2012/lz.
Finally, the 2012 R2 version of Delcam for SolidWorks, the integrated CAM system for SolidWorks, includes new modules for b-axis turn-mill and four-axis wire EDM, plus numerous improvements to the existing functions for rough milling and finishing. As a Gold Partner CAM product, it is, of course, fully compatible with the latest release of SolidWorks. To see more, please go to www.delcam.tv/dfs2012/lz.
