The company Delcam plc, is a leader in the development of CAM-systems, has officially announced that the upcoming early in February's annual forum SolidWorks World 2010 in California (USA), she will present the first version of its new CAM-system Delcam for SolidWorks, a fully integrated into the CAD-system of SolidWorks. The first version of Delcam for SolidWorks Delcam company implemented the technology for drilling and milling operations, from simple two-coordinate and ending continuous five-axis. In future releases in Delcam for SolidWorks will support all machining operations, including turning, Wire EDM and programming torkarno and milling machining centers.
Delcam for SolidWorks is based on sound and proven processing algorithms implemented in the CAM-systems PowerMILL and FeatureCAM, and inherited the best qualities of these products have won great popularity all over the world. Currently Delcam over 30 thousand customers, which has more than 300 offices in 80 countries.
From PowerMILL CAM-system product Delcam for SolidWorks has inherited an extremely high rate of generation of control programs for CNC machine tools and a full range of high-speed machining strategies, including here trochoidal roughing, spiral finishing and Delcam's patented technique of milling on the "fast" trajectories (Race-Line Machining ). Together, these strategies can increase the milling capacity, maximize tool life and achieve exceptional quality finish, even when milling complex machined high-strength materials.
At the same time, CAM-system Delcam for SolidWorks has the same ease of use as FeatureCAM, based on the automatic recognition of processed items and knowledge base processing modes. The product Delcam for SolidWorks also implemented recognition technology design and technological elements, but now uses the information directly from the tree construction CAD-systems SolidWorks. As a result, Delcam for SolidWorks not only recognizes the holes or pockets, but also automatically groups similar items by size and type. Also, now in the pockets of automatically recognized casting biases, fillets and chamfers. Once the design and technology items are recognized in Delcam for SolidWorks, CAM-system will automatically select the most appropriate of the available tools, assign processing strategy and cutting.
Of course, CAM-system Delcam for SolidWorks is fully integrated into the shell of CAD-systems SolidWorks, so that the programs for different purposes and developers will look like an inseparable whole. In terms of functional achieved full associativity, still, any changes to the 3D-models will lead to automatic recalculation of UE for CNC machine. We emphasize that this associativity is implemented much better than other CAM-systems, since a change in the shape of the part Delcam for SolidWorks will automatically re-selected the most appropriate tool for processing and re-assigned to the recommended strategies and cutting. In other CAM-systems for SolidWorks associativity means only a simple conversion paths UP under the old tool.
All control programs generated with Delcam for SolidWorks can be fully tested on the computer screen to the absence of collisions and desperately in a special module before they are sent to the CNC machine. Note also that the company Delcam plc is actively cooperating with many leading manufacturers of machine tools, so the product Delcam for SolidWorks will be supplied with a wide range of post-processors.
