This capability is complemented by interactive feature recognition (IFR) for recognizing complex multi-surface features, as well as creating contain and avoid areas. AFR automatically recognizes over 20 types of machinable features in solid models of native format or neutral file format including mill features such as holes, slots, pockets and bosses turn features such as outside and inside diameter profiles, faces, grooves and cutoffs and wire EDM features such as die openings.
One unique feature of CAMWorks is the AFR (automatic feature recognition) technology. In addition, CAMWorks is available as a standalone CAD/CAM package, with embedded CAMWorks Solids as an integrated solid modeler. This means that if the solid model is changed, the toolpaths are changed automatically with minimal user intervention. In addition, the toolpaths generated are associative with SOLIDWORKS parametric solid model. Hence, the toolpaths generated are on the SOLIDWORKS part, not on an imported approximation. Such a tight integration completely eliminates file transfers using less-desirable standard file formats such as IGES, STEP, SAT, or Parasolid. Because of this integration, you can use the same user interface and solid models for design and later to create machining simulation. Consequently, CAMWorks is fully integrated with CAD systems, such as SOLIDWORKS (and Solid Edge and CAMWorks Solids). This approach is more intuitive and follows the feature-based modeling concepts of computer-aided design (CAD) systems. By defining areas to be machined as machinable features, CAMWorks is able to apply more automation and intelligence into toolpath creation. ( is a parametric, feature-based virtual machining software. 2 Powered by TCPDF ( Visit the following websites to learn more about this book:ģ Lesson 1: Introduction to CAMWorks 1 Lesson 1: Introduction to CAMWorks 1.1 Overview of the Lesson CAMWorks, developed and commercialized by Geometric Americas Inc.
