CAMWorks 2010 Beta update
The CAMWorks 2010 beta program has been considerably improved to include:
 |
An expanded web site area that is dedicated to the beta program. Visit www.camworks.com for more details
|
|
The introduction of a beta contest that is open to all active maintenance end users and VAR’s. The top 40 participants will be awarded. |
|
An in-house beta testing program was conducted at the Scottsdale office from October 22nd - 24th, which was attended by several beta testers from Access Manufacturing and Cimtronics. |
What's New in CAMWorks 2010
|
|
The user interface has been made more intuitive and easier to use, thus providing the same look and feel of native SolidWorks. Additional options have been provided to allow users to control the working environment as per their practices. |
|
|
|
In turning, the ability to define variable allowances along the feature provides more control while at the same time reduces the time and complexity of programming. For turning and mill/turn machining involving irregular casting stock shapes, an STL file can now be used to represent the stock. While creating a more realistic simulation, this also simplifies the stock definition and results in a more efficient and predictable toolpath. |
|
|
|
CAMWorks 2010 includes many improvements to multi-axis machining, which enable toolpath generation on increasingly complex part models. New controls have been added to simplify processing of impellers and blisks. Safely entering and retracting from the part has become more flexible and easier then previous versions. |
|
|
|
Visualization enhancements have been made to feature, tooling, and stock display. These changes offer a more realistic representation of the machining environment to simplify programming and improve productivity. |
|
|
|
In addition, other features enable the NC programmer to machine parts faster and easier. The computation for machining time has been modified and updated to provide a more accurate estimate. This information can be used for costing and process planning purposes. Support for SQL Server Express has been added to improve performance in large scale deployments of CAMWorks. |
|
|
|
CAMWorks 2010 supports SolidWorks 2009 and 2010 running under 32- and 64-bit XP, Vista, and Windows 7. |
