CAD Software Includes Feature-Based and Knowledge-Based Technologies
October 1, 2014
Vortex, Delcam's high speed roughing technology, is now included in FeatureCAM, Delcam's CAM program that includes feature-based and knowledge-based technologies.
In addition to Vortex for 2.5D features, the new FeatureCAM release includes new options for turning, 4-axis rotary machining and turn-mill operations. According to the company, fillets can be added to any sharp corners for turning operations, such as automatic deburring, without having to edit geometry. Turning simulation is more realistic with support for steady-rest and tailstock operations combined with automatic collision detection.
"In addition to improved probing routines, support for 4-axis rotary tables has been enhanced to allow 2- or 3-axis operations to be wrapped around the rotary axis. Dedicated strategies for 2-axis finishing give greater programming control and better machining results," said a company spokesperson.
