Geometric has launched the 2014 version of its intuitive solids-based CNC programming solution, CAMWorks. With the addition of true G-code simulation, CAMWorks is a complete CAD/CAM solution, fully-integrated end-to-end from the initial part design to creating a CNC program to full machine simulation. It reduces data redundancy and saves shop floor time. Along with support for SolidWorks 2014, CAMWorks 2014 accelerates design-to-part time, improving productivity of CNC programmers with the addition of a number of enhancements, including:
- Turn feature definition enhancement: Turn profiles are now fully associated with the model they are extracted from. This makes them fully associative to the sketches, a first in the feature based machining world, making program changes very quick and efficient.
- Toolpath simulation for an effective review: The tool vectors for the toolpaths can be viewed during Step-through simulation, making it easier to review 5-axis toolpaths. In addition, users can use a WIP (Work in Process) model as a start-up stock, when simulating sections of a toolpath, shortening the review time.
- Increased automation in CNC programming: Addition of 39 APIs to the current suite that can help reduce repetitive activities and provide a solid foundation for users, who want to customize or automate their systems to accelerate CNC programming output.
- Sub-spindle operations simplified: Increased flexibility in the sub-spindle operations with the addition of more pre-programmed routines that are configurable to the users’ need.
What’s New in CAMWorks 2014 SP 2.1:
CW-45010 In turn and mill-turn parts with sub spindle operations, a difference in posted output is observed. This difference is seen when the post processing is done through play button and fast button. In both cases, the post processed output should be identical.
CW-44943 When area clearance toolpaths with pattern type set to VoluMill and rest machining option set to WIP are generated then, CAMWorks stops functioning and terminates the session.
CW-44887, CW-44941 In CAMWorks 2014 SP2, on a mill part setup when the user tries to set the X axis direction as "Automatic to Stock" and selects reverse, the Z axis direction gets reversed. Instead it should be reversing the X axis direction.
CW-44924 In CAMWorks 2014 SP2, when contour mill toolpath is generated with CNC compensation set to ON and toolpath center set to without compensation, the resultant toolpath is not satisfactory.
CW-44918, CW-44919, CW-44928 In CAMWorks 2014 SP2, the Z direction of the mill part setup changes when the user switches between CAMWorks feature tree and operation tree. The change in direction is also observed when the user does an edit definition on the mill part setup.
