It is also useful for cutting materials where it is beneficial to minimise re-entrant cutting as it keeps the tool in contact with the material for longer. In Turning, the new Rough Profiling cycle removes material in a series of cuts parallel to the input profile, and is typically used for roughing free-form profiles from casting and forgings. Background processing of milling cycles in the Mill-Turn environment is now available, meaning the user can carry on working while EDGECAM calculates complex toolpaths. Toolpaths are now generated much faster thanks to a new 5-axis 64-bit machining engine running as a separate process, utilising multiple core technology.


The industry-leading Waveform Roughing cycle now has the ability to specify a pre-drilled hole as the approach type, ensuring a smoother transition into the material, reducing the cycle time even further. In addition to the new wire EDM function, a number of enhancements give added value for all EDGECAM users: Users can select from one of the pre-defined machining strategies, such as “Unattended night runs” and “Attended day runs.” Alternatively, they can easily define their own. It includes a comprehensive library of proven post-processors and knowledge-based cuttings schemes as standard. Camtech to Show Latest EDGECAM at EuroMold 2012ĮuroMold 2012 is the venue for European mould and die manufacturers to see the latest significant developments in the market-leading EDGECAM software which generates reliable, highly accurate toolpaths and full machine simulation using solid geometry from any major CAD system.Ĭamtech GmbH are demonstrating EDGECAM 2013 R1 on Stand J11 in Hall 8, where the latest release features a brand new wire EDM function, providing an intuitive environment for the comprehensive programming of all wire EDM machine tools.
