3D milling




3D milling

The particularity of the 3D milling is that the part can be processed simultaneously controlling the movement of the tool with the three axes. To get this working with SprutCAM you need a 3D model of the piece.

Program machining operations using models that originate from any CAD system.

Advantages:

  • High quality processing
  • Reduction of tool wear
  • Faster creation of CN code
  • Reduction in machining time
  • Collision check

Sprutcam has a wide variety of standard and high speed milling strategies for working with various types of surfaces.
The ability to create the tool path due to crest height allows to obtain a smooth surface and quality.

Minimization of work thanks to the automatic detection of residual material.

The function of the tool path smoothed allows to avoid sudden changes in direction of machine, greatly lengthening the durability.

The functions of SprutCAM rely on solid models, meshes, surfaces and curves. For any geometric object can be set an additional allowance.

Operations:

Roughing 3D:

  • Roughing Waterline (Z axis positioning)
  • Roughing (with setting angle relative to the X axis)
  • Roughing Wizard (along or across the direction of a curve)
  • Selection level by level (according to Archimedean spiral)
  • Working area with limitation of minimum radius of curvature of the path and trochoidal cut

3D finish:

  • Waterline finishing (with Z axis positioning)
  • Finishing flat surfaces (series of horizontal movements on different levels)
  • Top finish (with setting angle relative to the X axis)
  • Finish Wizard (along or across the direction of a curve)
  • Finishing Complex (processing and machining Plan Waterline combined)
  • Piano tuning (optimization working direction with multiple angles)
  • Three-dimensional finish (optimization based on your step)
  • Combined finish (finishing Waterline with equidistant to flat areas)
  • Processing of 3D curves
  • Engraving (with possibility to process edges in 3D)

In this operation the tool path can be copied with flexible parameters.
