The Advanced Mill-Turn module in SolidCAM 2013 handles a variety of multi-turret and multi-spindle CNC machines. The new Contour 5-axis Machining strategy tilts the tool along a chained 3D profile according to defined tilt lines, making it useful for deburring and trimming. Four strategies are provided to machine and finish a port: Rouging, Rest Rough, Spiral and Plunge Finishing. The Port Machining operation is a new method for machining ports with lollipop milling tools. The new Multi-Blade Machining operation handles impellers and bladed disks with multiple strategies to rough and finish each part of these complex shapes. In addition, three new operations have been added to the Sim 5x module. New tilting options have been added and improvements made to the SWARF, 5X Drill and Convert HSM to Sim 5X operations. The latest version includes enhancements to the Simultaneous 5-axis module. SolidCAM 2013's 3D Milling, comprising the High Speed Roughing (HSR) and High Speed Machining (HSM) modules, has additional new strategies and benefits including Hybrid Machining, faster multi-core calculation, which uses the full power of computer processors, and smoother surface finishes. The HSS complementary module for surface machining has also been upgraded with extra auto detection for radial and spiral technologies and lead-in ramping options. The company reported that the handling of large models in SolidCAM 2013 has been improved with enhanced time savings due to faster facet generation.įor SolidCAM's 2.5D Milling module, additional toolbox operations have been added while threading and engraving operations have been enhanced. SolidCAM 2013 SP2 has more than 100 new enhancements across all its modules: iMachining 2D and 3D, 2.5D Milling, HSS, HSR/HSM, Sim 5X, Turning, Advanced Mill-Turn for multi-turret and multi-spindle machines, as well as a new module - Solid Probe. At EMO 2013 SolidCAM will be demonstrating its new SolidCAM 2013 SP2 version.
