Some, if not all, of the less desirable design features of part manufacturing can be detected and addressed while the product design is still being finalized. By carrying out machining simulation, the machining process can be defined and verified early in the product design stage.
#MASTERCAM V9 RELEASE SOFTWARE#
It integrates design and manufacturing in one application, connecting design and manufacturing teams through a common software tool that facilitates product design using 3D solid models. SOLIDWORKS CAM is a parametric, feature-based machining simulation software offered as an add-in to SOLIDWORKS. Includes a chapter on third-party CAM Modules This book will teach you all the important concepts and steps used to conduct machining simulations using SOLIDWORKS CAM.
#MASTERCAM V9 RELEASE VERIFICATION#
Incorporates cutter location data verification by reviewing the generated G-codes. Designed for users new to SOLIDWORKS CAM with basic knowledge of manufacturing processes. Covers the core concepts and most frequently used commands in SOLIDWORKS CAM. #MASTERCAM V9 RELEASE HOW TO#
Teaches you how to prevent problems, reduce manufacturing costs, shorten production time, and improve estimating. This helps you understand how the G-code is generated by using the respective post processors, which is an important step and an excellent way to confirm that the toolpaths and G-code generated are accurate and useful. One of the unique features of this book is the incorporation of the CL data verification by reviewing the G-code generated from the toolpaths. Both milling and turning operations are included. The concepts and commands are introduced in a tutorial style presentation using simple but realistic examples. Basic concepts and commands introduced include extracting machinable features (such as 2.5 axis features), selecting a machine and cutting tools, defining machining parameters (such as feed rate, spindle speed, depth of cut, and so on), generating and simulating toolpaths, and post processing CL data to output G-code for support of physical machining. This book covers basic concepts, frequently used commands and options required for you to advance from a novice to an intermediate level SOLIDWORKS CAM user. Since the machining capabilities offered in the 2020 version of SOLIDWORKS CAM are somewhat limited, this book introduces third-party CAM modules that are seamlessly integrated into SOLIDWORKS, including CAMWorks, HSMWorks, and Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS. This book points out important, practical factors when transitioning from virtual to physical machining. In order to provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of machining simulations, the book discusses NC (numerical control) part programming and verification, as well as introduces applications that involve bringing the G-code post processed by SOLIDWORKS CAM to a HAAS CNC mill and lathe to physically cut parts. After completing this book, you should have a clear understanding of how to use SOLIDWORKS CAM for machining simulations and should be able to apply this knowledge to carry out machining assignments on your own product designs. This book provides you with the basic concepts and steps needed to use the software, as well as a discussion of the G-codes generated. It’s written to help you become familiar with the practical applications of conducting machining simulations in SOLIDWORKS CAM. In addition, machining-related problems can be detected and eliminated before mounting a stock on a CNC machine, and manufacturing cost can be estimated using the machining time estimated in the machining simulation. This book will teach you all the important concepts and steps used to conduct machining simulations using SOLIDWORKS CAM.
