Day 6 of our Maker Bootcamp! Today our students did some waterjet cutting, laser cutting, soldering, and CAD work. Steadily making progress...

👻 When one face is not visible from your machining angle, it can make programming difficult. In our latest video, we show you how using Curve Parting Line and Split Solid Face together will make programming easier!

This one goes to all our customers, especially those with the basic milling modules who may want to do sophisticated and air-cut-free operations without investing in more advanced modules.
All SolidCAM basic milling licenses come with this jewel called *Toolbox cycles*.
Toolbox cycles are old yet proven algorithms in SolidCAM that were our bread and butter in the early days of our product. They are still part of the basic milling licenses without additional cost and are FANTASTIC!
For example:
For you guys in oil&gas, energy, earthmoving, and industries that machine large flats on large cylinders, we have a dedicated toolpath that follows the curvature of the cylinder, creating parallel cuts without air moves and automatically extending the cuts to follow the cylinder curvature as the depth increases, making the machining of flat faces on cylinders a breeze, super efficient toolpaths.
No more parametric programming to cut flats on large cylinders - SolidCAM gets it right for you every time!

Reading a few entries on CAD journal is one of my favourite mental exercises I like to do on my downtime. Even when the material is not directly related to my work I can still benefit greatly from reading and learning how a problem is solved.
The authors provide valuable insight into their study method and provide the results of their tools and techniques at the end of each unique journal entry.
Learning new terminology and concepts makes it almost feel like I’m sitting back in the classroom again and sparks the creative process for me.
Today it’s: “Predicting Soldering Failure in Die-Cast Products Using a Surrogate Model Based on Geometrical Features” from the folks at Shiga University and Toyota.
