International Engineering Fair 2010 - Czech Republic

September 13-17, 2009

SoliCAD company, our partner will partake in MSV 2010 ( http://www.bvv.cz/msv-gb) in fair between the 13 - 17 September 2010 and will introduce SprutCAM system.

We invite you to visit Pavillon „P“, stand #003 and get to know all our latest developments demonstration as well as actual training and help.

New release of SprutCAM v7 build 1.0 is available

This release includes the main features that short described below:

• Lathe-milling machining for machines with two turret heads;
• New machine scheme of a Lathe-milling machine with two turret heads;
• Auto detection of tool in turning operations, depending on which node in the machine (block turret) where a tool mounted;
• New tool positioning feature lathe and lathe-milling machines schemes are updated and they now support new tool holders: “Radial lathe tool”, “Axial lathe tool” and “Lathe tool”. The latter is being remarkable for it’s ability to be oriented at arbitrary angles to the lathe axis;
• New tooling point selection mode – “Auto”. In the “Auto” mode the tooling point is determined by the tool type and it’s front and back angles;
• New dynamic way to define setups for workpiece, machine coordinate system, of the machine nodes, overhang etc.;
• New window visualizing the current CLData command parameters facilitating the process of developing postprocessors;
• Creating shaped tool is available in both modes: 2D Geometry and 3D Model;
• Feature to set fractional values as numbers of the workpiece coordinate systems (G54.1, G55.3 etc.);
• New scheme of Matsuura MAM72 25V machine with Fanuc-30i postprocessor;
• New lesson of tutorial about creating simple postprocessor using masks;
• And few dozen bugs fixed.

New release of SprutCAM v7 build 0.8 is available

This release includes the main features that short described below:

• Shaped form tools;
• Smart snap in 2D geometry;
• Multi level hole machining;
• Logging of the system;
• Snapping to a rectangular envelope of workpiece during the interactive creation of coordinate system;
• New types of axial tool;
• Support for 64 bit versions of Autodesk Inventor 2010 and SolidWorks 2010;
• And few dozen bugs fixed.

Wishes and recommendations of users that work with previous version are taken also into consideration in new build.

New release of SprutCAM v7 build 0.7 is available

This release includes the main improvements described below:

• Added ability to process on turn-mill machines with counter spindle.
• The distribution added MaxTurn 65 machine scheme with counter spindle;
• For this machine is added to support operations "Takeover" and " Takeover with cutoff".
• In the operations the opportunity to specify a standard system of coordinates of workpiece (G54-G59). For each local coordinate system can now be set the option "coordinate system machine" with specification numbers (54-59, or any other). Accordingly, if the parameters of the operation "CS workpiece" will be chosen by a local coordinate system with this option, at the very beginning of the operation will generate ORIGIN a command set of the coordinate system, on which in the G-code may be outputted a G54-G59 command;
• Parameters of milling operations now, as in turning operations can be edited through the inspector of properties, located on the main form;
• Using new parameter of operation "Save as default parameters" possible to create personal settings for any SprutCAM operations;
• Using new parameter of operation "Toolpath template" possible to adjust the composition and sequence of commands in CLData for each operation. Created "Toolpath template" together with the mechanism "Save as default parameters" can be used repeatedly;
• Video in a window to create a new operations were displayed for all types of operations;
• Added a new method for determining the center of rotation of a graphic window: "around zoom point ". With this method, the center of rotation is determined whenever the scaled form using the mouse wheel. Thus, to select the center of rotation, move the cursor on it and scroll wheel;
• Inspector displaying the properties of the machine became available in the main form also (tab "Options" in the highlighted item "machine" in the list of operations). Also there was a possibility of quick change tooling (For example, blocks of turret), accessible via the drop-down lists in the property inspector machine;
• Added support for CAD systems Alibre Design V12 in addition to import SprutCAM Alibre Design (TM) files and add-SprutCAM - Toolbar Alibre Design (TM). AddIn to import projects from Alibre Design allows to import files with *.ad_prt, *.ad_asm, *.ad_smp;
• Added support for CAD systems AutoDesk Inventor 2010 in addition SprutCAM "Toolbar AutoDesk Inventor (TM) to run SprutCAM";
• Fixed error of reset operations by default when you install the update SprutCAM;
• And few dozen bugs fixed.

Wishes and recommendations of users that work with previous version are taken also into consideration in new build.
