receive models from other CAD systems
10. SolidCAM is the most associative
CAM for SolidWorks
SolidCAM, totally integrated inside
SolidWorks, provides both types of associativity:
Toolpath associativity.
Related-components (fixtures, molds…) associativity.
Changes to any part automatically update all
toolpaths
Changes to any part automatically update all related
components
SolidCAM provides user-control over the extent of
the associativity

Notas del editor
This is a sales presentation meant for potential customers. The presentation is intended to be modified to fit a situation.
So we had 3 typical tool path problems all solved by iMachining’s intelligent tool path automatically, controlled step over, exact stock machining, and smooth tangent tool path. The results are a simplified user experience while increasing efficiency. The tools and machines will be much happier with iMachining, allowing for greater material removal rates and increased profitability.
Let’s take a look at two features only found in iMachining: we will look at morphing spirals and separation channels.
iMachining’s technology wizard solves these typical problems with speeds and feeds and provides users with simple fast results. Optimal speeds and feeds can be calculated using all the factors available. Let’s look at 3 ways the technology wizard achieves it’s results: Material and Machine database, synchronization all parameters, and seamless integration.
SolidCAM UK spent 3 days proving iMachining with Iscar UK and it proved a successful and painless exercise (see results and files on ftp site). Customer Gardner Aerospace were invited to view the results cutting titanium and they were very pleased at the outcome. The timings are not available yet for all the parts (Iscar to produce a time report on savings), but on on one specific pocket their existing toolpath generated by Catia was taking 14 minutes, with iMachining it took 3.5 minutes!!.
