![]() ![]() Support has been added to FeatureCAM for multi-tasking bar-fed milling machines, such as the Mazak Integrex I150, and the Willemen-Macodel 408T and 508T. These include support for different types of roughing links, wind-fan approach and retract moves for finishing, better gouge checking for plunges and retracts, and tool radius and partline cutter compensation support. Milling of inside or outside groove features has been upgraded with a number of improvements. ![]() Other roughing improvements include the ability to take into account any remaining stock on the model during holder collision checking, ensuring that Z-level roughing toolpaths are completely free of tool-holder collisions. These options can be set individually, or can be combined to achieve an optimum toolpath, with a reduced cycle time. The ability has now been added to adjust and fine-tune the non-cutting moves of 2.5D and 3D Vortex toolpaths, with options to retract the tool and/or to increase the feed-rate. It produces toolpaths with a controlled engagement angle and so maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the complete roughing cycle, giving faster machining and longer tool life. ![]() The 2016 release includes a number of enhancements to the Vortex area-clearance strategy to provide the fastest safe metal removal from solid carbide tooling. Delcam has launched the 2016 release of its FeatureCAM software including more options for the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, support for bar-fed mills, more efficient turning and user-interface improvements to make programming even easier and faster.įeatureCAM was the world’s first feature-based programming software when it was launched in 1995. ![]()
