The 'Update Stock' command now caches the stock model at each point. ‘Update Stock’ Speed Improvements‘Update Stock’ Speed Improvements When an element is edited the current geometry is automatically selected in the graphics area and you can easily add to it or remove elements. To improve the editing of Roughing, Profiling and 5-Axis cycles Edgecam 2012 R1 introduces a new way of editing individual elements of the cycle input.Įach selected element is now listed under the relevant cycle in the sequence browser and can be highlighted and edited individually.Īdd new element types without having to reselect everythingĮdit several different items before choosing to regenerate the instruction This allows you to take corrective action immediately.įull collision Checking In SimulatorImproved Display and Editing of Cycle Selections Linear axis limit checking (introduced in the last version) has been extended in Edgecam 2012 R1 and now supports rotary mode in both the mill and mill/turn environment.Įdgecam reports when a cycle has exceeded the limits of the machine tool and indicates axis and direction. Linear Axis Limit CheckingLinear Axis Checking in Rotary Mode The cycle is available with the 5-Axis Simultaneous Milling EN050-S and 5-Axis Simultaneous Milling for Education ENEDU-5 licenses. In Edgecam 2012 R1 this has been extended to support eight more finishing cycles. The 3 to 5-Axis cycle for Profiling was introduced in the last release. Please note that cycle functionality for 2D and 3D slots remains unchanged.ģ to 5 axis cycle3 to 5-Axis Cycle Extended New options (Depth tab) to specify clearance, level and depth parameters associative to the solid model New option to select Solids as cycle input To allow you to machine the slots, the Slot cycle has been updated to work with solids. Improved surface finish, potentially eliminating secondary cutting cyclesĮdgecam 2012 R1 introduces slot support in mill features. The new Waveform strategy ensures a constant tool load and smooth toolpath pattern, offering greater stability, more precise machining and faster metal removal. New Flow Surface CycleNew Waveform Roughing Strategy The strategies will make creating tool paths effortless and the improvements to the user interface will get your result much faster than before. 012 R1 is a release combining new strategies with an improved user interface across many aspects of the software.
