- Support implemented for Number of threads
Profile – Lead in/out Flip Option for Center Tool Path
- Option to flip orientation of Normal & Arc lead in/out tool path in Profile operations when Tool side is set to Center

Turning

Trochoidal Turning – Improved Tool Path Algorithm
- Improved Trochoidal Turning algorithm optimizes the entire roughing procedure by producing a more suitable tool path at the end of the stock
STL Holder Protection in Turning
- Holder protection detects and avoids collisions in Turning rough and finish procedures
- Check box allows you to cancel holder collision detection when it’s not needed, such as for Face Groove, Internal Turning operations, etc.
Fixture Protection in Turning
- Fixture protection detects and avoids collisions between your defined Setup and the Cutter
- Fixture clearance specifies the distance by which the Cutter must avoid the Setup
- Turning tool path is adjusted automatically
Feed Lead In/Out in Turning Tool Data
- You now have the option to modify the Feed rate for Lead in and Lead out by a user-defined value or by a percentage increase/decrease relative to Feed finish

HSR/HSM

HSR – Join Gaps & Pass Extension
- Join Gaps allows HSR to join gaps between 2 groups of tool paths
- Pass extension allows the user to extend the tool path by the user defined value
HSR – Join Gaps & Pass Extension Tool Path

Turbo HSR

Turbo HSR – New 3D Boundaries
Turbo HSR now offers Automatic Boundary Definition based on the following:
- Part Silhouette
- Part end height
- Tool contact
Turbo HSR – Part End Height Boundary
- In Part end height method, 2D contour is determined by the part shadow onto machining plane offset outwards by the tool radius
Turbo HSR – Tool Contact Boundary

Rotary Machining – Side Shift
- Side shift, available only for roughing cycles, allows rotary machining with an axis offset
- This option enables the tool to cut properly with the cutting edges, not the tool center, thereby enabling more stable cutting speeds and close-to-diameter cutting with non-spherical tools
Rotary Machining – Corner Smoothing
- Rotary machining enables you to apply corner rounding to the sharp motions on the final contour as well as intermittent contours
- This allows the machine to cut faster and maximizes the tool life

SolidCAM Auto 3+2 Roughing – Semi Automatic Mode
- Semi automatic mode enables you to start the machining from a preferred direction, while allowing you to modify the Max. Increment angle, Max. Stock to leave and the Max. Tilt angle parameters
SolidCAM Auto 3+2 Roughing – Manual Mode
In Manual mode, SolidCAM machines only from the directions added by the user or by the tool plane
- Part is machined in the chosen directions according to the maximum reach of the tool

SolidCAM Edge Breaking

SolidCAM Edge Breaking – New Operation
- After machining, on all the parts that have straight edges or non tangent outer surface topologies, you will find a burr caused by the tool which is chipping the metal off that edge
- SolidCAM Edge Breaking operation automatically detects these edges and creates a deburring tool path
- Currently this is a manual process and can approximately take the same time as that which is being spent to fully program a part programmed with a CAM system
SolidCAM Edge Breaking – Edge Detection
- Edges to be deburred can be detected automatically or detected manually by the user
- Chamfer can be of Constant Depth or Constant Width

SolidCAM is a CAM software that integrates directly into SolidWorks and Inventor. That does not only mean you can program tooling paths from the comfort of the CAD software you know and love, but it is also advantageous in that all tool paths retain associativity with the original CAD design. In other words, any changes made to the CAD file will instantly be reflected in updated tool paths, saving you time and money.

Take out the guesswork of milling, turning and other processes by using the patented Technology Wizard. The wizard allows you to automatically fine-tune optimized feeds, speeds, depth and width of cuts. What is more, this CAM software automatically recognizes the distinct geometrical features of your design and assigns toolpaths accordingly. Hence, this approach eliminates the need for time-consuming manual geometry definition.

The tool paths created with this CAM software rely on an advanced, patented morphing spiral that gradually conforms to the geometry of the feature being machined rather than an old-fashioned, simple spiral tool path. This increases the amount of time the tool actually works the stock and thus makes your machine more productive.

SolidCAMCAD Standalone provides a powerful, easy-to-use, complete CAD/CAM solution that support the complete range of major manufacturing applications including 2.5D Milling, Multi-sided Indexial 4/5 axes Milling, Simultaneous 5 axes Milling, Turning, Mill-Turn for Multi-Turret and Multi-Spindle CNC machines, with the revolutionary iMachining, provides the complete functionality of CAD and CAM, including iMachining.

SolidCAMCAD Standalone is an extremely powerful tool for machined part programming. The powerful geometry selection and creation tools found within design environment are rounded out with specialist tools in SolidCAM. The combination of these tools minimizes the time spent selecting areas to be machined or limited from machining. The user works in assembly mode so he/she can simply pull components from a library to model entire setups, including machine tables, fixtures, and vises. Manufacturing can be automated through the use of the built-in knowledge database. This database in not a static template, but it can be dynamically driven by changes in tools, geometry and strategies.
