From Nov 29 to Dec 2, we will present our newly introduced
version SolidCAM2007
R11 at the Euromold exhibition in Frankfurt/Germany. In
addition to the new High-Speed Machining module for the
machining of complex 3D parts, SolidCAM will demonstrate new
functions for 2.5D Milling, including a new Thread Milling
operation and powerful new functionality for the automatic
feature recognition and machining of 2.5D pockets in Prismatic
Parts. Also, important enhancements of the automatic feature
recognition and machining of holes, including the support for
tapping and reaming, will be shown. The User documentation and
toolsheet output in R11 is now based on XML-format and is
fully customizable.
All SolidCAM functions are
seamlessly integrated into the 3D CAD mainstream system
SolidWorks. The single-window user interface and the full
associativity between the CAD model and NC toolpath guarantee
short learning curves and an optimal data flow.
Dear
reader, if you have a chance to be in Frankfurt, please visit
us at
Euromold, Hall 8, Booth M54.

Seamless
Integration Between CAD and CAM |
|
MOLDMAKING TECHNOLOGY is a well known magazine,
where moldmakers can learn how to become more productive. In
the recent issue, SolidCAM published an article about the
benefits of the integrated SolidWorks+ SolidCAM solution to
achieve shorter lead times.
By single window
integration between CAD and CAM software, mold designers
and NC programmers share the same user environment on the same
3D database. The seamless integration provides shorter
learning curves and far greater efficiency in communicationg
between geometry and toolpaths. SolidCAM as CAM software
supplier can focus its resources 100% on the development of
new applications like High-Speed machining. |

Surcam
chooses SolidCAM´s new HSM module |
|
Surcam is one of the first companies which
inten-sively tested SolidCAM´s new High-Speed-Machining (HSM)
module for the manufacturing of complex molds. Surcam was
founded 20 years ago as a job shop by Asher Ben-Shabbat. Since
10 years, Surcam is using SolidCAM to machine all kinds of
parts.
Today Surcam produces medical equipment,
prototype parts and complex molds. Recently Surcam was in need
of an easy to use yet powerful HSM module that would machine
molds with a perfect smooth finish. They compared other
programs with SolidCAM’s new HSM module. The result was widely
in favor of SolidCAM with its optimized and smooth toolpath
that translates to increased surface quality, less wear on
cutters and longer life for machine tools. |

User Meeting
in Turkey |
|
SolidCAM´s Turkish reseller UMTAS invited its users
to Istanbul to attend the launch of the new versions
SolidWorks2007 and SolidCAM2007. Nearly 500 participants
listened to the presentations, covering the whole process from
design via analysis to High-Speed machining.
Mustafa
Erten, Manager of UMTAS´CAD/CAM division, stated: "The 30%
increase of the audience shows the interest and the potential
of the Turkish market for manufacturing automation software.
We are also happy, that SolidWorks and SolidCAM support us in
providing the combined CAD/CAM solution to 42 vocational
schools in Turkey. Up to now, we trained already 55 teachers
and installed about 400 SolidWorks+SolidCAM seats at the first
19 vocational schools. We believe, that this way of High Tech
education is the best method to prepare our industry for the
future."
