SolidCAM HSS (High Speed Surface Machining)

SolidCAM HSS is a high speed surface machining module for smooth and powerful machining of localized surface areas in the part, including undercuts. It provides easy selection of the surfaces to be machined, with no need to define the boundaries.

The SolidCAM HSS Module provides numerous surface machining strategies that produce an efficient, smooth, gouge-free and optimal toolpath to finish the selected surfaces. HSS provides special toolpath linking strategies, generating smooth and tangential lead-ins and lead-outs. High Speed Surface Machining Strategies:
► Linear, Constant-Z & Hatch Parallel Cut.
► Parallel to curves
► Parallel to surface
► Perpendicular to Curve
► Morph between two curves
► Morph between surfaces
► 3D Projection Curve


SolidCAM HSM (High Speed Machining)

SolidCAM HSM is a very powerful and market-proven advanced 3D Milling and high-speed-machining module for complex 3D parts, aerospace parts and molds, tools and dies.

With SolidCAM HSM module retracts to high Z levels are kept to a minimum. Angled where possible, smoothed by arcs, retracts do not go any higher than necessary – thus minimizing aircutting and reducing machining time.
The result of the HSM module is an efficient, smooth, and optimal toolpath. This translates to increased surface quality, less wear on your cutters, and a longer life for your machine tools. Thus both simple and complex 3D parts can be machined very efficiently and with the highest level of quality.
SolidCAM HSM user friendly interface with build in suggested machining parameters help reduce programming time. Both simple and complex parts can therefore be machined very efficiently and with the highest level of quality without required high level skill programmer.
HSM Roughing Strategies – Contour Roughing, Hatch Roughing and Rest Roughing HSM Finishing Strategies – Linear machining, Constant-z machining, Horizontal machining, Helical Machining, Radial & Spiral machining, Morphed machining, Offset Cutting, Boundary machining, Rest machining, 3D Constant Stepover, Pencil & Parallel pencil machining, 3D Corner Offset machining and Prismatic Part machining.
► Linear, Constant-Z & Hatch Parallel Cut.
► Parallel to curves
► Parallel to surface
► Perpendicular to Curve
► Morph between two curves
► Morph between surfaces
► 3D Projection Curve


SolidCAM iMachining

Finally, all the promises of a Revolution in CNC Machining are actually delivered.
The first real breakthrough in Tool path technology that allows cutting 2 to 3 times faster and deeper by optimizing tool cutting angles and feed through the entire tool path. No smoke, no mirrors, no NASA produced Machine tools and cutters, you can use your existing equipment to run faster and deeper with even the smallest tools in the hardest materials.
iMachining’s Knowledge Based Technology Wizard, automatically computes optimal Cutting Conditions by synchronization between material hardness and machine capability to allow your cutter go faster & deeper.
Key Features:
► Optimal Morphing Spiral cutting even of irregular shape areas.
► Controlled Tool load at each point along tool path.
► Islands are Moated to enable continuous spiral cuts, even with multiple islands.
► Automatic Thin Wall avoidance


SolidCAM Indexial, Multi-sided Machining

A common scene in any machine shop today, 4 and 5-axis machines are increasing production, providing faster cycle times, all with less scrap rate. SolidCAM 3+2 Indexial enables the machining of complex parts from different directions in single setup only. It shifts and tilts the working plane for machining. The direction of machining corresponds to the orientation of the tool. Programs can be transformed, mirror, rotate and copied, even on multiple workplanes, without additional job calculation.

SolidCAM rotates the SolidWorks model to any user-defined machining planes and automatically calculates all necessary shifts and tilts for the 2D & 3D machining strategies. In SolidCAM programming 4 or 5-axis indexing is no different than 3-axis programming. SolidCAM Simultaneous 5x Milling.For demanding geometries such as deep cavities, high steep walls and undercuts, 3D machining is not possible because of collisions or it is only possible with long tools. Machining these areas requires precisely defined milling areas and many different tool inclinations, which can be accomplished without collisions using 5axis machining.
SolidCAM user friendly interface you to select between 5axis machining with a fixed tool inclination, automatic indexing or simultaneous machining depending on the geometry and machine kinematics,SolidCAM utilizes all the advantages of Simultaneous 5-Axis machining and together with collision control and machine simulation, provides a solid base for your 5-axis solution. Real time Machine Simulation for checking the toolpath while it is being created to avoid collisions or tool gouge. Intelligent and powerful 5-axis machining strategies:
► General HSS strategies with tilted function, Parallel to curves, Parallel to surface, Perpendicular to
► Curve, Morph between two curves, Morph between surfaces, 3D Projection Curve.
► Swarf Milling
► Impeller Roughing, Wall Finishing, Floor Finishing.
► Port Machining
► 5X Engraving
► Cavity & Electrode Machining
► Turbine Blade Machining.

Wire-EDM

SolidCAM Wire EDM handles profiles and tapers with constant and variable angles, as well as 4-axis contours. It offers all the flexibility and functionality of modern Wire-EDM Programming directly based on sketches, surfaces & solids. Additional options on the contour definition side will help to reduce programming time and get the job done faster even on the most complex models
SolidCAM Wire-EDM is using the latest generation of NC-Processors checking all options and parameters against inconsistencies with the machine already during the programming process. Detailed information about cutting sequences etc. is already available before the related NC-Code has been even generated. This will improve the machining process and shorten part delivery times in the maximum possible way.
