ICAM CAM-POST v24

ICAM Announces Integration of its 2 & 3 Axis Development Software Inside Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform

 ICAM Technologies Corp. (ICAM) amended its original software development partnership agreement with Dassault Systèmes to implement ICAM Foundation inside the latest release of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.ICAM Foundation is a post-processor development software that allows 3DEXPERIENCE platform users to easily create, edit and manage unlimited two-axis lathe and three-axis mill

Migrate Your NC Code to Varied Machines with SmartPATH®

Rather than spend costly time to develop and verify positioning paths using trial and error, our patented SmartPATH® technology automatically finds the optimal path to move the tool quickly and safely from one position to another, respecting the specific machine kinematics, travel and size limits. This enables NC programmers to move part programs quickly and efficiently by simply re-post-processing the original CAM program if shop conditions require that the manufacturing program be moved to a different machine.

Reduce Manufacturing Time By Eliminating Air-Cuts with SmartCUT™

By using material removal simulation to detect when the tool is not engaged with the material and moving at a cutting feed, SmartCUT™ eliminates time-wasting air-cuts. Where feasible, it changes these air-cut motions to RAPID or high-feed; thereby significantly reducing machining cycle time.

Adjust CNC Feed Rate Automatically with SmartFEED™

SmartFEED™ optimizes cutting feed-rates by using material removal simulation to automatically recalculate the best machining feed-rate based on the machine tool capabilities, tool reference cuts, and the real-time engagement of the cutting tool in the in-process stock material.

Material Removal

Virtual Machine® supports superior material removal capabilities for in-process stock collision and gouge detection. This functionality allows NC programmers to compare the processed stock model to the original CAD/CAM design. Virtual Machine® computes in-process stock geometry to identify and display gouges, excess material, inaccessible areas and rapid-motion collisions during the post-processing and verification phase.

Arc Fitting

The average cut method will produce slightly flatter arcs than the overcut method. In either case, arcs will never deviate by more than the allowable tolerance from the original point-to-point motions (P1, P2, P3) being replaced.

Both the starting and ending points of the circle are always points, which exist in the CL file.

Benefits of Arc fitting as compared to Linear Interpolation
  • Shorter NC tape files: Arc fitting can reduce NC tape files to as little as one-tenth the size of files generated using Linear Interpolation.
  • Smoother, more accurate tool paths: Fitting arcs to the tool path will eliminate almost all the chordal deviation caused by the straight-line approximation of the original surface, resulting in smoother, more accurate tool paths.
  • Higher feed-rates: Larger interpolation blocks allow users to increase feed-rates while virtually eliminating data starvation and stutter step.
  • Compatible with all major CAD / CAM / PLM systems: CAM-POST Arc fitting is a CAD / CAM system independent solution that can be configured for multiple CAD / CAM / PLM systems.
