2.5D MILLING
2.5D strategies are used for machining of parts composed of pockets, islands, slots, vertical sides, flat faces and holes. Typically these would be electronic component housings, stamps and dies. SprutCAM creates both roughing and finishing tool paths. SprutCAM includes powerful automatic geometry recognition. All types of hole machining operations are supported.
2.5-axis machining is a set of strategies for the generation of slots, pockets, holes, horizontal areas, vertical walls and chamfers. 2.5-axis machining also comprises plotting of the path by some control closed and open curves, engraving of text and artistic elements on the flat areas.
Standard operations of this type of machining:
· Parallel toolpath
· Equidistant toolpath
· Horizontal area machining with automatic detection of horizontal faces
· Vertical wall machining (including the use of a spiral path)
· Pocket machining
· Hole machining (centering, drilling, drilling-out, hole enlarging, milling, thread cutting)
· Machining along the contour
· Engraving
Automatic detection of horizontal areas simplifies the process of surface determination, for instance, for performing the final machining after the upstream operations, surface preparation for the subsequent engraving or locating.
Pocket and separate island samplingPocket and separate island sampling may be performed by parallel cuts of the tool as well as by equidistant cuts. Capability of smoothing the path in the angles, radial cusp rolling and high-speed cutting-in function allow the use of the sampling operations for high-speed milling (Hi Speed Machining).
Embedded 2D geometry environmentEmbedded 2D geometry environment enables the technologist to form the part drawing independently, without using external CAD systems. During the drawing-forming process “smart bindings” system and a wide range of conversions will ease the technologist’s task. The same 2D geometry environment allows the tool profile generation with the with the ability to set parameters, enabling to interactively modify its configuration if used.
The system has the ability to create texts in the form of a set of curves, which further can be used, for example, for engraving on the flat areas of the part. The engraving operation itself is also used for obtaining the artistic elements and it gains widespread acceptance in woodworking and jewelry industry. 2D contouring operation offers the possibility to interactively form the approaches and the backward movements as well as the areas of correction turning off and on in the graphic window of the system without using operation parameter windows.
3D MILLING
The main feature of the 3D milling is that the tool can be moved using 3 axes simultaneously on the part. In order to create these operations in SprutCAM, you need to have a 3D model of the workpiece. Effective machining programming using models from any CAD system.
Advantages:
· High quality of the machining
· Minimizing tool expenses
· Cutting down on NC program creation times
· Cutting down on the machining time
· Collision control
SprutCAM has a wide variety of various strategies for the standard and hi-speed milling in order to machine the work pieces with curved forming surfaces.
The possibility to form the toolpath taking into account the scallop’s height permanency permits to obtain a surface of the desired cleanness and quality.
Minimizing of the labor costs thanks to the automatic detection and machining of the remaining material.
The function of the flat tool path forming permits to avoid hard modes of the machine functioning and will considerably prolong your equipment’s longevity.
SprutCAM functions based on solid models, surfaces, meshes and curves. For every geometrical object or group of objects there can be set an additional allowance.
Operations:
3D roughing:
· Layer by layer roughing (with a permanent level for the Z axis)
· Line by line roughing (with a set angle relative to the X axis)
· Controlled roughing (along or across the direction curves)
· Layer by layer selection (of the round wells, according to the spiral of Archimedes)
· Area selection with limiting by the minimum radius of the tool path curvature and trochoidal cutting in.
3D finishing:
· Layer by layer finishing (with a permanent level for the Z axis)
· Finishing on flat horizontal areas (series of horizontal moves on different levels)
· Line by line finishing (with a set angle relatively to the X axis)
· Controlled finishing (along or across the direction curves)
· Complex line and layer finishing (optimization of the machining of flat and steep areas)
· Line by line optimized finishing (optimization of the machining in the direction of the areas’ slope)
·
finishing (optimization according to a set scallop size)
· Combined finishing (layer by layer machining with equidistant machining of flat areas)
· Machining of 3D curve
· Engraving (with a possibility of 3D angle machining)
In this operation, the tool path can be copied with flexible parameters.
