SolidCAM 2017 SP0 for SolidWorks 2012-2017Unique iMachining tool path features:Morphing Spirals: Beyond Trochoidal Cutting iMachining uses an advanced, patented morphing spiral that gradually conforms to the geometry of the feature being machined rather than an old-fashioned, simple spiral tool path (racetrack). This maximizes tool to stock contact -or- \”tool in the cut\” time.Moating: Divide & Conquer In order to most efficiently attack large areas of material removal as well as stand-alone islands, they are separated or subdivided into smaller sections using iMachining’s patented Moating technology. This maximizes the efficient morphed spiral cutting.Eliminate Wasted Time & Motion iMachining tool paths only cut the stock that needs to be removed, eliminating “air cuts”. From the initial approach, right to the last cut,...
