Press Release Summary:
With automatic feature recognition (AFR), FeatureCAM automatically recognizes and machines complex holes. It enables users to specify custom hole dimensions, key geometric features, special-purpose tools, and exact machining parameters. Hole recognition is keyed to cylinders defined by hole diameters and depths and can also be linked to data directly imported from select CAD programs. Users can define machining parameters or use those native to FeatureCAM.
Original Press Release:
AFR for Complex Holes Added to FeatureCAM
WESTEC 2006 - Booth 3368
Salt Lake City, UT - January 10, 2006 - Delcam USA announces major enhancements to FeatureCAM's automatic feature recognition (AFR) that automatically recognizes and machines complex holes for special applications. Demos will be available in Booth 3368 at WESTEC 2006 in Los Angeles, California, USA, from March 28 to March 30.
Supplementing the wide selection of standard hole configurations already recognized by FeatureCAM, the upgraded software enables users to specify custom hole dimensions, key geometric features, special-purpose tools, and exact machining parameters. As a result, hydraulic connections, SAE ports, mold base fittings, and other special holes can be automatically recognized and machined to desired specifications.
Hole recognition is keyed to cylinders defined by hole diameters and depths; providing a range of dimensions permits recognition of a variety of holes within the parameters listed. Recognition can also be linked to data directly imported from selected CAD programs. Users can define machining parameters or use those native to FeatureCAM.
