ModuleWorks to Launch CAM Components v2009.9 at EMO, Milan
 AACHEN,
Germany, Sep 28, 2009 - ModuleWorks, the leading supplier of CAD/CAM
components for toolpath generation and simulation will be showing the latest
release of its CAM components, version 2009.9, at the
EMO exhibition to
take place in Milan from 5 - 10th October 2009.
Continuing the theme of recent releases, ModuleWorks 2009.9 provides new
features across the breadth of the product range, each designed to improve
customer productivity.
The industry leading 4- and 5-Axis machining components benefit from new
smoothing strategies which may be applied to both the rotary and tilt axis
to provide smoother toolpaths and improved surface finish. They are
particularly useful when machining STL models as they smooth out the adverse
effects caused by triangulation in the target model.
The popular auto-tilt strategy includes the new smoothing techniques and
a range of other detail enhancements which further improve performance and
surface finish. Other areas of development include undercut projection and
increased support for non-orthogonal machine configurations.
3-Axis machining has a range of new features in roughing and finishing.
Roughing now supports intermediate slices, where the steps between cuts are
reduced using a series of slices between the main slices to reduce the need
for multiple roughing operations. 3-Axis finishing now has support for
silhouette boundaries to contain toolpath and new methods to control start
point to help minimize link move length and allow smooth transitions between
passes.
Simulation completes the product suite and improvements here are largely
focused on 5-Axis simulation with better support for non-orthogonal machines
and increased performance. For quick simulation of finishing toolpaths, a
simple automatic offset stock may now be used as shown in the illustration
below.
David Plater, Technical Director comments “This releases offers a
balanced set of new features spread across the product range, many of which
are based on direct feedback from our partners who are now incorporating
these features in their own products”.
