This release includes the main features that short described below:
The 1/2 and 3/4 turn views are now dynamically changing to ensure visibility of insides of a model irrespective to sight direction.
There was added "trunc(, )" operator to postprocessor;
Wire EDM - Now it is possible to use faces in the job assignment of a Wire EDM operation.
Wire EDM - added ability to create a pocketing of areas for "2D contouring" operation;
Turn operation "Lathe contouring" with job assignment "Roughing" and "Offset contouring" use workpiece for calculation toolpath;
Added possibility to set feed of transition (Traversal Feed) for each contour;
At "Technology" user can select part of model by color;
Force restart SprutCAM when duplicate run SprutCAM with user prompt;
New 5 axis machining:
Creation of complex continuous 5 axis machining;
Highly optimised 5 axis machining tool path calculations taking into consideration any remaining workpiece material;
Highly efficient and accurate simulation of the continuous 5 axis machining processes.
Highlights:
Machine multiple NURB surfaces, STL Mesh or Wire-frame geometry;
Multi-pass roughing techniques; Finish machining with lead-lag angle control;
SWARF machining for side wall machining;
3 to 5-Axis toolpath conversion;
4-Axis Rotary machining;
Application specific strategies for Blade, Blisk and Impeller machining; Machining Direction for 3+2-axis machining.
New light versions for the 5D module;
New Library Release for 5D module:
5axis: Morphed and spiral tool path for geodesic cycle;
5axis: Spiral tool path for constant-Z machining;
3axis: offset projection cuts;
Offset direction available for project curves within the triangle mesh tool path calculation;
Swap curves available for swarf machining;
Projection methods available for surface based tool path calculation;
Flatlands options for constant Z cycle;
Geodesic supports morphed toolpaths and containment curves.
Added support Autodesk Inventor 2012 for SprutCAMs Addin for Autodesk Inventor import;
Import/Addin manager. Now you can plug external cad file translators in SprutCAM to import file formats SprutCAM does not support by default. Just select the "ADDIN manager" from the "TOOLS" menu. In the dialog that appears click the "ADD" button and fill the parameters of the external cad translator such as translator name, full path to the translator executable, input and output extensions and command line. After that you will be able to import files supported by the translator.
Wishes and recommendations of users that work with previous version are taken also into consideration in new build.
MecDATA our partner in Spain will partake in "Maquitec" the 2nd most important exhibition fair in Spain, between the October 18 - 22, 2011 and will introduce SprutCAM system.
We invite you to visit us and get to know all our latest developments demonstration as well as actual training and help.
