On the cam operation tree, right click on the desired mill part setup and add a rough mill operation.

Rest machining will be applied to a second rough mill operation. To continue machining a feature where a tool left off, rest machining will be the best option. Swapping the tool for a smaller diameter will still produce the desired outcome but at the cost of long cycle time. You have a challenging competitor MasterCAM, mainly in the US market - but we have major advantages over them:ġ.For this example, a part has been partially programmed, however, there is still some material left in place. MasterCAM in SolidWorks integration version is a failure and now they said they are officially stopping it. So, if the machine shop customer uses SolidWorks, he will be very excited to use SolidCAM, seamlessly integrated and associative to the SolidWorks model.Ģ. SolidCAM amazing iMachining is far superior to MasterCAM Dynamic Milling - the iMachining module maintains constant tool load, by varying the feed according to the cutting angle, generating efficient morphed spiral and trochoidal tool paths, where machining time is drastically reduced (70% and more), and tool life is dramatically increased (5 times and more). Īlso, iMachining has the amazing iMachining Wizard that automatically calculates optimal feeds and speeds, for every point of the toolpath, taking into account the stock material properties, cutting tool type, and machine tool parameters. T hat takes away the guesswork in setting the cutting conditions - a major advantage to all machinists - the more experienced and the less experienced. See this presentation on iMachining vs so-called competitors: Very user-friendly and intuitive SolidCAM user interface: Users, with extensive experience in both systems, say it takes between 30% to 50% more time to do similar tasks in MasterCAM compared to SolidCAM - CAM programmers' time is an expensive commodity to waste.Ĥ.

SolidCAM is completely superior in Multi-Channel Mill-Turn machining, with the best multi-channel synchronization and simulation.ĥ.

MasterCAM has officially stopped their Swiss Expert software, which was a total failure. SolidCAM Swiss-type machining is the best in the world, and MasterCAM has nothing to offer today for Swiss!Ħ. Our SolidCAM2021 simulation capabilities are far superior to MasterCAM’s.ħ. Our new tool table, in SolidCAM2021, is far more advanced than MasterCAM’s one.Ĩ.
