CAMWorks 2010 Improves On Turning/Milling Capabilities

CAMWorks 2010 is a CNC programming software from Geometric Technologies (camworks.com) that has improved features in its turning and multi-axis milling capabilities compared to the previous release. For turning, users can now define variable allowances.

CAMWorks 2010 is a CNC programming software from Geometric Technologies (camworks.com) that has improved features in its turning and multi-axis milling capabilities compared to the previous release.

 


For turning, users can now define variable allowances. This provides more control and reduces programming time and complexity. Its turning and mill/turn machining capabilities now allow an STL file to represent the stock in irregular casting stock shapes for more realistic simulation, and it simplifies the stock definition. For multi-axis milling, features include toolpath generation on complex part models and new controls for the processing of impellers and blisks.
