CAD/CAM Tebis’ parametric template technology stores companies’ manufacturing knowledge specific to both CAD and CAM. These CAD/CAM templates enable faster and more efficient manufacturing, and they also ensure standards and uniform quality when machining. Templates also mean companies are less dependent on the expertise of individual specialists, and new employees can get up to speed faster and start contributing productively to the company’s success in the shortest possible time. Every dataset needs to be prepared for CAM programming in design. Tebis automatically performs many of these necessary steps: placing bores for clamping systems, defining tilt axis systems, designing fill surfaces, creating blanks, generating connection points for setups, positioning clamping devices and specifying retract planes. All these steps work with Tebis’ parametric CAD templates which can be extended as needed and modified to meet customerspecific requirements. Users can still be highly flexible; changes like selecting a different clamping system can be controlled directly and conveniently. Programmers can also use parametric CAD templates to automatically position clamping devices and generate auxiliary geometries and blanks. Furthermore, via Tebis’ NCJob technology, users can take advantage of the opportunity to automatically apply interactively defined milling areas from previous NCJobs in milling, reduce manual intervention in CAM programming and calculate entire NCJob sequences at once. CAM programming is also considerably simplified, so users can easily manage combined machining operations in an end-to-end CAM template. Finally, Tebis automatically and safely positions workpieces and clamping devices on the machine table based on preconfigured connection points. When clamping electrodes, this works automatically and accounts for the holder. This significantly reduces programming work, and individual elements can be rapidly and easily replaced afterwards. Q Tebis www.tebis.com Taking up templates to increase productivity We’ve now introduced Cutting Parameters AI as a new module for CAM Assist that automatically generates appropriate physics-based feeds and speeds for virtually any CNC machining scenario in moments. It allows users to instantly set unique feeds and speeds for every toolpath in a CAM program, even for materials and tools they’ve never used before. We expect this will give users a 20% productivity gain when machining. Q) Lastly, can you advise how customers can access and download the software? A) CAM Assist is available at www.cloudnc.com or through the Autodesk App store and will be fully available for other CAM platforms (Mastercam and Siemens NX) shortly.
