Standard CAD Features – Included in All Systems
Associativity
All toolpaths are fully associative to the geometry used to generate them. Toolpaths can be regenerated after changing cutting parameters without re-selecting
the geometry.
SolidWorks®
Associativity
SURFCAM maintains full associativity with SolidWorks models or any Parasolidbased CAD model. If a change is made in the model, SURFCAM will recognize
the change and allow you to automatically update both the model and any affected
toolpaths. Toolpaths affected by model changes are automatically flagged in the
NC Operations Manager. SolidWorks models supported up to SolidWorks 2013.
Toolpath Editor
Graphically edit any toolpath (pan, zoom, rotate during editing). Instantly move
forward or backward through megabytes of toolpath without restarting at the top.
Insert, edit, delete, or add machine commands or comments, change feeds or
speeds anywhere in a toolpath by simply picking the point of insertion.
Toolpath Templates
Toolpath templates allow you to collect, share and reuse parameters.
NC Operations
Manager
Icon-based toolpath management system with simple cut and paste functions to
easily manipulate your active part program, re-order toolpaths using “drag and
drop” technique. Ability to copy/paste toolpaths between SCPRT files. Extensive
toolpath transformation facility supporting any combination of XYZ translate, rotate,
mirror, scale, radial wrap, reverse, and merge steps with retention of all steps for
regeneration. Associativity between geometry and toolpath tracked by icon color.
Automated toolpath commentary creates a high level outline of machining operations in the order they will be output. Check box support for selected verification
and post processing.
Postprocessors
Template-based direct post processing for edit-free G code for most 2 – 4-Axis
CNC milling, turning and 2-Axis Wire EDM applications. Over 145 sample posts
with every system. User-configurable CL file-based 2- thru 5-Axis & MillTurn post
processor provides full MillTurn, 4-Axis Wire EDM and 5-Axis contouring support for
any machine/controller combination with full macro programming language.
DNC
Standalone SDNC and editNC® – DNC utilities for single button file transfer via
serial line. Multiple CNC machine attribute files containing start & stop codes, communications protocol settings, special character handling, upload and download
directory/filenames.
NC Text Editor
Windows®-based high performance editNC® text editor specifically designed to
handle G code editing with global edit, NC block re-sequencing, and 3D backplotting with zoom-pan-viewing and integral link to DNC utility.
Setup Sheets
User-configurable setup sheet generator with cycle time, travels, tool list, toolpath
comments. Available in ASCII text, RTF or HTML formats.
Tool/Material
Libraries
Firebird (.FBD) database holds geometric data for each tool and each defined
material type. Shipped version contains over 500 tools and 50 material types in
both inch and metric format. Feeds and speeds are automatically calculated from
parameters that work with tool/material library to control step-over, side clearances,
and rough/finish stock conditions to minimize user data input.
Custom Tool
Creation
Custom tool creation allows users to define any custom tool profile with simple 2D
geometry. Once saved the custom tool is represented as a 3D cutter and can be
used in graphical toolpath editor, back-plotter or verification, allowing for accurate
material removal simulation with custom tools.
NC Code Import
Utility
Fanuc-compatible 2 or 3-Axis mill or lathe G code files can be converted into graphical toolpaths and subsequently edited or displayed on a 3D surface model.
Arc Filter
Consolidates a series of linear surface toolpath records into arc records in XY, YZ, or
ZX plane according to user-specified tolerance.
Nurb Filter
Consolidates toolpaths into NURB format according to user-specified tolerance for
postprocessors and CNCs that support this feature.
HSM Filter
Analyzes toolpath segments and removes and replaces these segments with a line
segment based on a user defined set of values.
Toolpath
Verification
NC Verify provides accurate and rapid material removal simulation allowing you
to dynamically rotate and zoom during simulation. Four modes are supported: (a)
Regular for best dynamic rotate/zoom, (b) True Solids for fastest 3D machining, (c)
Pixel-based for large 4/5 axis files, and (d) Turbo for end results only. Sample Cut
for fastest Verification. Custom stock and fixture shapes represented via STL Files.
Full clamp/fixture collision detection with warning sound and/or pause. Custom tool
shape collision detection for non-cutting areas. Status window for live feedback
with cycle time, tool parameters and cutter coordinates. Inspect locations, distances
and arc radii/diameters of the verified solid model. Visualize cross sections at any
angle and distance in XY, YZ, ZX planes. Compare remaining stock with part model
to detect remaining material. STL File output for in-process stock representation of
geometry, 64-bit support for high performance verification of complex programs.
Toolpath Backplot
Toolpath Backplot is a powerful visualization tool that allows the user to see the
toolpath being drawn as the tool moves across the part. Options to show the tool in
wireframe, solid or control point only. Options to show tool holder. Controls similar
to Verify, only showing toolpath generation rather than material removal.
