Delcam will launch all the latest version of FeatureCAM for feature-based programming at CMTS on booth #2732 , at the Direct Energy Center in Toronto Ontario, October 17-20, 2011.
In FeatureCAM 2012, a number of the improvements have been made to make programming even easier to use. For example, a range of keyboard shortcuts have been added, including isometric view options. In addition, warning or error messages can be displayed simply by hovering over the relevant icon in the Operations List.
Toolpath editing has also been made much easier. Toolpaths are displayed more clearly, selection of toolpaths has been simplified and an “undo” option added. Target part comparison has been extended to cover multi-axis milling operations. This allows the user to compare a model of the desired final shape with the shape achieved by the programmed toolpaths. It provides a quick check of any material remaining on the part, and of any gouges or collisions. Previously, this option was only available for 2- and 3-axis operations.
