Digital Twin Simulation for Greater Productivity in the Smart Factory
The ESPRIT CAM system from DP Technology provides digital twinning, digital threads, machine-aware manufacturing, knowledge-based machining and cloud-enabled databases that enable shops to streamline their workflows, prevent silos from forming during manufacturing, and increase tool life and machine utilization.
How to Simplify CAM Programming of Parts Designed in Solidworks
GibbsCAM 12 software from 3D Systems is a single application with a single user interface for efficient programming of all CNC machines, whether the user needs to machine simple or complex parts or use simple or complex machines.
How to Optimize Additive Manufacturing Designs
3DXpert for SolidWorks from 3D Systems is an integrated system that gives designers a direct path for preparing and optimizing their SolidWorks designs for both plastic and metal additive manufacturing, creating the design freedom to produce complex geometries, lightweight parts without compromising strength, and apply surface texture to deliver functional or aesthetic benefits.
CNC Milling & CAD Training Videos
The Training Professor Video Series from BobCAD-CAM covers basic programming techniques, then advances into gouge checking, adaptive toolpath programming, tapered thread milling and other complex applications.
CGTech Reaches Milestone
They are celebrating three decades of software innovation and consistent growth of their VERICUT systems.
Vero Software Expands Application Engineering Staff
Darin Weatherbee and Chris LaFleur support Edgecam and Surfcam users, and Kevin Wedderburn supports SMIRT users.
Making it Wrong to Make it Right
The world of a CAM programmer may seem idyllic: They build toolpath strategies in logical sequences, select cutters from a library, and calculate and simulate results on the monitor. But there are complex challenges when moving from the sterile programming office to the shop floor, where the theoretical process becomes real.
The Competitive Edge of Simulating Hybrid Operations
Realistic simulation of the entire hybrid process enables users to verify that the part will be built correctly, without causing damage to the part, machine, or expensive laser equipment. This enables shops to gain a competitive edge by choosing the best manufacturing strategies for creating, customizing and/or repairing products – all while redefining their current production technology to create new possibilities.
Using Advanced CAD/CAM to Optimize Machining of Complex, Progressive Stamping Dies
Stamping dies feature complex geometries with tight tolerances that can take time to produce due to tooling changes, breakages, or programming challenges. This machine shop shares some insights on how they use powerful CAD/CAM software for easier and more functional programming that minimizes time and costs.
Vero Software Hires Southwest Regional Account Manager
Chris Carter now oversees sales of Edgecam and Surfcam software in Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada.
CAM Software Slam Dunks 5-Axis Machining
A basketball hoop was created with hyperMILL CAM software from OPEN MIND on a GROB G350 5-axis machining center using conical ball barrel cutters from OSG.
