These types of processing are widely used in the 2D mechanics. Sprutcam creates toolpaths both roughing and finishing and includes automatic recognition of machining from geometry.
Sprutcam 2.5 D includes a set of strategies for creating slots, pockets, holes, flat faces, vertical walls and chamfers. Sprutcam 2.5 D also includes the generation of tool path of open or closed curves that go to create engravings of texts and artistic elements on flat areas.
Below is a list of standard steps, refer to this type of processing:
- Passed in parallel
- Passed equidistant
- Woodworking Plans (with automatic detection of horizontal faces)
- Processing vertical walls (including the use of spiral cutter path)
- Pocket Machining
- Drill machining (spot drilling, drilling, drilling through, tapping, reaming)
- Machine along the profile
- Engraving
Special consideration should be given to the ability of the system to create 3D graphing of SprutCAM finished part from closed curves. Having 2D drafting, building a set of extrusions pockets and holes and after defining the type and parameters of the individual items you get 3D graphics display of the part, which greatly simplifies the process of creating the toolpath.
When the profile parameters are modified and corrected, the system automatically reconfigures the 3D graphical representation of the part.
Automatic detection of horizontal areas makes it possible to simplify the process of determining the area to be worked, as for example in the finals going to prepare the horizontal surface which will subsequently be processed.
Pockets and Islands can be performed with cuts parallel or equidistant. The ability to smooth the path to the edges and trochoidal cutting function are useful in high speed milling.
The env
ironment has integrated and creates 2D SprutCam the drawing independently without the use of external CAD systems. While creating the design, the "Snap" and a wealth of features will facilitate the task of the designer. The same environment of 2D geometry allows the profile generation tool, with the ability to set parameters and enabling you to interactively change the configuration.
Sprutcam has the ability to create texts in the form of sets of curves, which can be used to hack the flat areas of the particular. The operation of engraving itself is also used to attract artistic elements and is very common in woodworking and jewelry. 2D Contouring operation offers the ability to create interactively approaches and retractions, likewise allows you to also change the parameters without having to log in within the configuration.
Sprutcam possesses the function of automatic detection of holes from the 3D model through various search conditions. Hole parameters measured (diameter and depth) are automatically taken into account within the process. The ability to generate a set of default and holes you can save them as "macro", goes to simplify machining where there are a large amount of holes so repetitive or systematic.
