The day will feature four sessions on 5-axis machining, feature-based programming, integrated CAM for SolidWorks and software for metrology. Each one hour long presentation will be repeated four times during the day, giving all delegates the opportunity to customise their itinerary to fit preferred interests and timings.
The day will be focused primarily on the new contacts that Delcam made during the recent MACH exhibition. However, it will be open to any company interested in increasing their productivity, improving their quality or shortening their lead times by upgrading to Delcam software.
The event is intended as a follow-up to MACH 2010,” advised Delcam's marketing manager, Peter Dickin. “It's often difficult to go into detail at a busy exhibition so by organising this CAM day shortly after the exhibition, we can give companies the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of our programs.”
The workshops for the day will be as follows:
CAM for 5-axis machining: will provide an introduction to the programming of 5-axis machines with Delcam's PowerMILL CAM system. It will include details on a new PowerMILL module for the programming of robots for machining.
Feature-based programming: this presentation will show how Delcam's 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.
Software for metrology: this presentation will cover Delcam's software for metrology, in particular the PowerINSPECT program – a hardware independent inspection system for comparison of parts, tooling and prototypes against CAD data on all types of inspection device.
