Delcam has created a section for technical tips on the website for its FeatureCAM feature-based programming software. More than 80 tips are listed in the new section, which is located at www.featurecam.com/techtips/
The tips aim to help users with all aspects of programming with FeatureCAM, including milling, drilling, turning, creating geometry, simulation and generating NC code. Each tip is saved as a pdf file that can be read online or downloaded for future use.
The tips complement the videos that are produced for the FeatureCAM Learning Zone, which demonstrate extra functionality that has been added to each new release of the program.
FeatureCAM was the world’s first feature-based programming software when it was launched in 1995. Constant development since then has ensured that the system has retained its leadership in programming speed and ease of use, while an increased range of strategies has been added to provide more efficient toolpaths that give greater productivity on a wider range of machinery.
The FeatureCAM family of software now offers a comprehensive range of programs for milling, turning, wire EDM and mill-turn, all with the same easy-to-use interface style to minimise training times.
FeatureCAM incorporates Delcam’s industry-leading machining algorithms, including the award-winning Vortex strategy for high-efficiency area clearance. These algorithms are continuously developed by Delcam’s development team, the largest in the CAM industry, and are used by more than 50,000 organisations worldwide.
