Simultaneous B-axis turning in FeatureCAM enables you to create multiple machining orientations in a single set-up and quickly program complex machining operations Sub-spindle and multiple spindle part transfer is available in FeatureCAM through defined feature operations Synchronise and optimise your turn/mill operations between multiple turrets through an easy-to-use ‘drag and drop’ graphical interface on a time or operation-basis Supports machines with C and Y milling capabilities and sub-spindles, letting you machine more complex partsĮasily programs drilling or milling features on the face or outside diameter of a part with the FeatureTURN/MILL feature wizard, so you get parts onto your machine tool fasterĬontains all of the milling features in FeatureMILL2.5D, including holes, slots, pockets, grooves, sides and patterns, for increased flexibilityįeatureTURN/MILL’s Multi-Turret Turning technology controls turn/mill machines with multiple turrets, speeding production through true multi-tasking processes Multi-threading, the process of splitting toolpath calculation across multiple CPUs, lets you program your parts faster than ever before.įeatureTURN/MILL enables both turning and milling features to be created on a single machine in one set-up.
Delcam’s policy of code sharing between its CAM software solutions has resulted in FeatureCAM benefiting from many of PowerMILL’s proven strategies for high-speed machining and 5-axis machining. Based on more than 20 years of development, FeatureCAM generates quality toolpaths – allowing you to produce parts of the highest standard for your customers. Integrated 3D machine simulation, together with a library of over 350 fully customisable post-processors, lets you visualise exactly how your parts will be machined. All of your machine tools can be programmed within a single user interface designed to shorten programming times and reduce the learning curve for new users. FeatureCAM offers a comprehensive solution for milling, turning, turn/mill and wire EDM. Ease of use has always been a FeatureCAM advantage and with feedback from our customers we continue to study ways to make the software even easier to learn and use. Graphical feedback, step-by-step wizards and tutorial-style animations run directly in the program dialog boxes. Ease of use is a guiding principal in the development of FeatureCAM. You can easily edit the settings to suit the needs of your company or project, or according to your individual preferences. FeatureCAM generates toolpaths based on the features of the part and then automatically selects appropriate tools, determines roughing and finishing passes, and calculates feeds and speeds based on the software’s built-in machining knowledge. The knowledge-based technology in FeatureCAM gives you a powerful CAM system that combines automation with control. It knows about common features of parts and uses that knowledge to automate the manufacturing process. As the name implies, it is a feature based, or knowledge based, manufacturing system. Cambridge Numerical Control is the approved Autodesk supplier, training and support centre for FeatureCAM FeatureCAM is an advanced software package for unparalleled automation in CAM.
