May 13, 2013 PartMaker 2013 R2 incorporates ASM-MX (Advanced Surface Machining – Multi-Axis) functionality, which can be added across PartMaker CAM suite. ASM-MX provides user with complete tool-axis control for all 5-axis simultaneous machining strategies. Additionally, ASM-MX features Spine Finishing machining strategy, which can be used in 4- or 5-axis simultaneous operations and is suited for machining parts with complex curves.

Robot Interface facilitates multi-axis machining operations.

May 06, 2013 Fully embedded inside PowerMILL CAM system as plug-in, PowerMILL Robot Interface give users access to all multi-axis machining strategies within PowerMILL. With interface, robots can be programmed for tool-to-part applications. Interface can then be used to simulate complete machining operation and to control robot’s movements through different variables. Once results of simulation have been reviewed, and modified if necessary, program can be output in appropriate robot native language.

Dental Milling Software suits Datron and DDL systems.

Delcam Plc    Birmingham Hampshir, B10 0HJ
Mar 04, 2013 Respectively offered for production of dental restorations on Datron D5 and Digital Dental Lab desktop machining systems, DentMILL for Datron and DentMILL for DDL facilitate dental machining by ensuring user is only presented with machine kinematics, fixtures, and material discs that are relevant and available. Machining efficiency is promoted via included machine-specific templates for automated generation of 3- and 5-axis toolpaths. Management system tracks every stage of process.

Feature-Based CAM Software optimizes surface finish.

Mar 01, 2013 With stock model options, FeatureCAM 2013 R2 can minimize tool wear and optimize surface finish by eliminating excessive tool engagement and limiting maximum depth of cut into un-machined material. Detect Metal Thicker command ensures that rest material thinner than specified limit is ignored, preventing toolpaths from being generated in areas where benefit of extra cut is negligible. In addition, software incorporates methods for generating html set-up sheets.

CAD Software includes point cloud tools.

Delcam Plc    Birmingham Hampshir, B10 0HJ
Jan 28, 2013 Designed to accelerate production of designs ready for manufacturing, PowerSHAPE CAD Software combines solid, surface, wireframe, and direct modeling with point-cloud and triangle modeling, including tools for live import, repair, and editing of point-cloud data from laser scanners. Users can rewind solid history tree of model to any position with graphical slider. Edits can then be made, either by applying Solid Doctor to repair problematic data or by using direct modeling tools.

CAM Software combines advanced strategies, intuitive UI.

Dec 14, 2012 PartMaker 2013 is used for programming production-machining equipment, such as turn-mill centers, bar-fed mills, and Swiss-type lathes. While UI with Job Explorer tree fosters productivity, Advanced Surface Machining (ASM) module accelerates toolpath calculation and increases tool control and surface finishes for users making complicated parts. Advanced milling strategies, included as standard, compliment traditional work flow.

CAD/CAM Software aids creation of complex artistic designs.

Delcam Plc    Birmingham Hampshir, B10 0HJ
Dec 13, 2012 Targeting artisans, ArtCAM Pro facilitates creation of complex designs with repeated elements which are similar but not identical. Free Relief Modeling allows previously-created reliefs to be selected and moved/rotated/rescaled/copied individually or as part of group. Any part of design can be isolated, edited, and then recombined into group for duplication or further editing within group. Other features include sculpting effects, POV-Ray ray-tracing technology, and Texture Flow tool.

CAM Software offers probing capabilities.

Delcam Plc    Birmingham Hampshir, B10 0HJ
Nov 19, 2012 Incorporating probing sequences, FeatureCAM 2013 enables unsupervised production operations by allowing automated checks to be carried out before, during, and after machining. Probing paths can be generated for 5 feature types: pockets, obstructed pockets, and webs; inside or outside corners; bosses, bores, and obstructed bores; radial bosses, bores, and obstructed bores; and single surfaces. All probing paths can be simulated and collision checked on computer in same way as cutting paths.

Parts Inspection Software supports dual-column CMM machines.

Delcam Plc    Birmingham Hampshir, B10 0HJ
Nov 08, 2012 By allowing simultaneous measurement of different features on larger parts, PowerINSPECT includes ability to create efficient inspection sequences for use on dual-column CNC coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs). Offline programming and program running capabilities provide tools for moving inspection items between 2 columns to balance inspection time needed for each. To ensure safe operation of CMM, solution also integrates collision predictor feature.

CAD/CAM Software aids electrode production.

Delcam Plc    Birmingham Hampshir, B10 0HJ
Oct 15, 2012 Combining developments in PowerSHAPE, PowerMILL, and PowerINSPECT, Delcam Electrode Solution enables design, machining, and inspection of electrodes. Direct modeling tools within PowerSHAPE facilitate initial design stage of process. Once design has been finalized, spark gaps can be specified to provide machining offsets required in PowerMILL to cut roughing and finishing electrodes. Inspection points can be added so that measurement of electrode in PowerINSPECT can be automated to large extent.
