![]() Candidate edges are pre-displayed, allowing users the flexibility to filter any of the selections. ![]() Deburring is an exciting new capability that can automatically detect sharp edges on finished parts and then chamfer these edges. ![]() Z-Level machining operations are finishing or semi-finishing operations that machine the whole part by parallel horizontal planes perpendicular to the tool axis.Īdvanced Finishing combines vertical Z-Level passes with horizontal machine passes that are contour-driven. Sweeping allows you to create a finishing or semi-finishing operation to machine a roughed-out part in vertical parallel planes. The Surface Machining section tab contains Roughing, which can rough-out an entire part. Profile contouring is also included as well as Pocketing, Point to Point, Curve Following, and finally Probing for multi-points, Corners, Slots and Ribs, and Holes or Pins. The Prismatic Machining section tab contains Prismatic Area, providing users with the ability to detect and machine leftover material in corners and channels with a smaller tool. ![]() Moving down to the Action Bar, we have three main section tabs used to create toolpath operations. What do some of the Shop Floor Machining features look like? The new NC Shop Floor Programmer role provides them with this capability without purchasing more expensive multi-axis machining solutions. This capability is highly coveted by those who wish to review multi-axis and Mill-Turn simulations. The third reason is for shop floor personnel who want to review existing NC programs from their manufacturing department before running the job. The second reason is for the machinist who needs to create G-code programs on the shop floor for simple parts-maybe a clamp or a tooling fixture-that need to get done quickly rather than wait on engineering. Reason number one is for the small machine shop or the single user running SOLIDWORKS® who need to get the most value out of their respective machines tools. We developed the NC Shop Floor Programmer for three reasons. Toolpath simulation and machine kinematics are standard capabilities included in all DELMIA machining roles. NC Shop Floor Programmer provides full 3-axis machining capabilities, 4- and 5-axis pre-position, and wire EDM into a single role.
