Now, for the first time ever, you can pick the entire model and get the results you need, in a fraction of the time. The new 4 Axis Advanced Rough, automatically recognizes where the stock is, and avoids air cuts. The Advanced Finish automatically recognizes the walls in need of finishing, and tackles them precisely.
Now, it’s easy to create a Work Offset Pattern, set the work offset number to use, set the machining order, and even set a pattern type with distances so you can see how it would appear in simulation. The Work Offset Patterns allow you to view the toolpath in the graphics area, and to pattern the stock, fixtures, and workpiece in the simulation:
In this version, we’re introducing CAM Tree Flyouts. These allow you to double check some, and even edit other values by simply hovering over certain items in your CAM Tree.
For the customers that utilize the CAD Tree to modify previous steps, we offer the ability to optimize the CAD Tree History.
For the first time ever, BobCAD-CAM now offers a way to quickly rotate and translate geometry into a particular location and orientation at the same time.
A new feature in V9 is the Corner Slowdown option in our Advanced Feed rate page. This new feature will allow users to break their toolpath into smaller segments and reduce the feed rate in the corners of the toolpath.
The new probing features offered in our CAM Software includes 41 different probing cycles. By touching off your tools, setting your work offsets, and performing in-process measurements, programming for your probing cycles has never been easier.
With the Hole recognition feature in BobCAM for SolidWorks and BobCAD V33 it is now as easy as clicking on a solid model and BobCAM will automatically find every hole and create separate features based on the diameter and depth of each hole.
A new feature in BobCAM for SolidWorks Version 9 and BobCAD V33 is the Multiple Drill Tip Positions for pocketing. This feature is used to define the pilot hole location for your pocketing cycles to start the tool in.
This article explain the functionality of the new Silhouette feature and how to use it in a practical application within BobCAD-CAM.
