• Delcam to host more free workshops on latest developments in CAM

Following a successful first CAM day last week, Delcam will host a second series of free workshops on the latest developments in manufacturing technology at its Birmingham headquarters on Wednesday 22^nd September.  The day will again feature sessions on five-axis machining, feature-based programming, integrated CAM for SolidWorks and software for metrology.  Each presentation will be repeated at various times during the day, giving all delegates the opportunity to custom-make their itinerary to fit their preferred interests and timings.

"Our initial CAM day was well received, especially by some new prospects that we met at the MACH exhibition who were keen to find out more about our company and our range of machining software,” explained Delcam’s Marketing Manager, Peter Dickin.  "However, we had many people that couldn’t attend because it was so close to the holiday season.  We hope that these companies will be able to join us on the new date and see how Delcam software can increase productivity, reduce lead times and improve quality.  They will also be able to visit Delcam’s headquarters and learn about the unparalleled support that we give to our customers.”

The workshops for the day will be as follows:

CAM for five-axis machining

Five-axis machining offers many opportunities to increase productivity and improve quality.  Suitable equipment is now more affordable than ever, while CAM systems have become more powerful and easier to use.  This session will provide an introduction to the programming of five-axis machines with Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system.  It will include details on a new PowerMILL module for the programming of robots for five-axis machining.

Feature-based programming

Feature-based programming provides the fastest and easiest approach for production machining of prismatic designs.  Delcam’s FeatureCAM was the first feature-based CAM system when it was launched in 1995.  This presentation will show how its highly-automated, knowledge-based programming, with machining strategies, tooling, and feeds and speeds set by the software, makes the system ideal for those with little CAM experience or for occasional users.

Integrated CAM for SolidWorks

Delcam for SolidWorks is a new CAM system that is fully integrated into the SolidWorks environment so that the program looks and behaves like SolidWorks.  The software offers full associativity so that any changes in the CAD model are reflected automatically in the toolpaths.  This session will show how this integration makes access to Delcam’s powerful machining strategies easier than ever for SolidWorks users.

Software for metrology

This presentation will cover Delcam’s software for metrology, in particular the PowerINSPECT program, the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection system for comparison of parts, tooling and prototypes against CAD data on all types of inspection device.  It will also show how machining and inspection can be integrated more closely, in developments like electronic fixturing and on-machine verification, to give more efficient manufacturing and higher-quality results.
