In many areas, you can work simultaneously with different unit types. To switch from working in inches to millimetres for example, you will need to use Edit menu ► Transform ► Scale to scale up your geometry (approximately by 25). Note that changing the units does not scale the open part geometry. The units of the part inches or millimetres. We will also be showing off some live machining.Open topic with navigation Preferences dialog - General tab If you’re attending IMTS, why not stop by booth 134500, East Building and see us? You can get a live demo of both Solid Edge and Solid Edge CAM Pro. To name a few: Explorer-style dialogs, multi-tool capability for turn-mills, parametric turning tool holders, added color support in machining simulation, and improvements in processing time when calculating complex machining operations. I don’t have the column space to go into detail about all the new features, but the list is impressive. This new feature allows those folks to contour a 2D profile with a cutting tool (similar to what 5-Axis contour profiling can do for mills).

No need to edit the FBM Knowledge Engine.īecause Solid Edge CAM Pro is in fact a “Pro” level product, we have customers who use it to create NC Programs for their complex B-Axis Turn-mill centers. Select the new geometry, and FBM will create new operations for the new geometry based on your proven operation set. Now, you can choose that set of operations as your template. Here’s how it works – you have created a set of operations for some prismatic geometry (holes or straight-sided pockets for example).
New in this release is the ability to re-use an existing operation set as your template. If you create NC Programs for a lot of prismatic geometry, then you will benefit from the speed at which FBM can create tool paths.
For now, let me just say that this technology is really cool, and you will be pleasantly surprised.įBM is a great tool in the Solid Edge CAM Pro toolkit. I will have an entire blog post devoted to this topic in a few days. We are still working on a couple of PMI data types, but the majority transfers now. Now we are adding that same capability to PLMXML transfer – you don’t need to understand that term, just understand that when you click “Send files to Solid Edge CAM Pro” that the PMI goes with. We have been able to transfer PMI data with the model from Solid Edge to CAM via JT for several releases. The thinking behind this is that the geometric model is the go-to reference for all disputes, not the drawing. Having PMI on the model helps enable Model-Based Definition (AKA Model-Based Engineering).
As a Manufacturing Engineer, I have two problems with the Old School approach: The “Old School” method of doing this was to place all this data on a drawing. PMI is dimensions, tolerances, and other manufacturing information that is applied to the geometric model. For clarity, I will be referring to some features from a previous release. Now, we can talk about What’s New in the product. In a previous blog post, we introduced you to Solid Edge CAM Pro.
