enhancements to the entire SmartCAM suite of computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM) system software. SmartCAM V18.0 has been
release; notifications will be sent to all current

“The SmartCAM V17 releases
focused on solids machining improvements in our advanced
milling applications. For V18.0 we concentrated on core
milling functionality that will also benefit our SmartCAM
Production Milling users,” said Douglas Oliver,
SmartCAMcnc’s Senior Product Manager. “The wireframe
rest-mill roughing and feature-based holemaking are
fundamental capabilities that will be a huge time saver for
all our milling users.”
A third core milling improvement
found in SmartCAM V18.0 is a set of enhancements related to
the Helical Milling. Helix elements can now be created with
left- or right-offset properties, can be offset during
verification and code generation, and a Thread Milling
process has been enhanced to take advantage of the new helix
offsetting capabilities.
Addtionally, several
customer-requested, core modeling and toolpath editing
improvments are found in all SmartCAM applications.
