iMachining 3D

Proven iMachining Technology Advanced Even Further for Amazing 3D Milling

iMachining 3D provides amazing 3D machining results, providing 70% and more savings in machining time. iMachining 3D provides optimized Roughing, Rest Roughing and Semi-Finish for both General shaped 3D parts and Prismatic parts.

iMachining 3D for Prismatic Parts

Dramatically reduces programming time

iMachining 3D achieves shortest possible cycle time and drastically reduces programming time for milling prismatic parts, with multiple pockets and islands, by automatically identifying pocket geometry and depth directly from the 3D CAD model.

2.5D Milling

Most Powerful & Easiest-to-Use CAM System for Creating 2.5D CNC Milling Tool Paths

Powerful and easy to create 2.5D CNC milling tool paths, with full interactive control and feature recognition, working directly inside your CAD system. A cycle toolbox provides specialized, preset sub-operations for slots, corners, bosses.

AFRM

Automatic Feature Recognition & Machining

Powerful Automatic Feature Recognition and Machining capabilities, complement SolidCAM’s 2.5D Milling capabilities. SolidCAM’s user has the best of both worlds: Interactive operations & Automation.

High Speed Surface Machining [HSS]

High Speed Surface Machining of Localized Surfaces

HSS provides smooth and powerful machining of localized surface areas and undercuts, with significantly increased surface quality, using standard and shaped tools. HSS is an essential module for every machine shop.

HSR/HSM - 3D High Speed Machining

Powerful Roughing & Finishing Tool Paths for 3D Machining

HSR/HSM provides powerful roughing and the finest finish tool paths available for 3D machining of complex 3D parts, aerospace parts, molds, tools and dies. HSR/HSM offers high level of smoothness, efficiency and smart machining.

Indexial Multi-Axis Machining

The Most Powerful & Easiest-to-Use Coordinate System Definition

SolidCAM is exceptionally strong in indexial 4/5 axis machining. Machining is simplified by single machine home position for indexed setups – speeding up multi-sided machining by eliminating multiple coordinate system constructions.
