SURFCAM Tech Tip - Deferred Generation
SURFCAM allows users to schedule when toolpaths are calculated during the programming process. Default behavior is for a user to configure a toolpath, and that toolpath is calculated immediately afterwards. Those two steps are repeated during a file; configure, calculate, configure, calculate. This means that on larger, more involved toolpaths a user may need to wait for a toolpath to calculate before moving on to the next toolpath calculation.
Deferred Generation was introduced to allow a user to follow a different flow: turn on deferred generation, configure toolpath 1, configure toolpath 2, configure toolpath 3, turn deferred generation off, calculate toolpath 1, calculate toolpath 2, calculate toolpath 3. This allows users to batch configure their toolpaths, and then batch calculate the toolpaths en masse. Users are free to accomplish other tasks away from the computer while the list of deferred toolpaths calculate.

SURFCAM Tech Tip - 3 Axis Tapered Tool Support
มุมมอง 3064 หลายเดือนก่อน
There are specific toolpaths in SURFCAM that support tapered profile tool shapes. It's important when contour surface milling in 3 Axis simultaneous to use the correct toolpath that supports these shapes. This video will show how choosing the correct supported toolpath allows the software to prevent gouges when cutting surface models. See our Hexagon Nexus post here: nexus.hexagon.com/community...
SURFCAM Tech Tip - 2D Tool Holder Simulation
มุมมอง 2376 หลายเดือนก่อน
Starting in SURFCAM 2023, 2D Milling Toolpaths can use a Tool Holder definition that will influence the simulation. This gives users more finite control so simulations run in SURFCAM Verify or NCSIMUL accurately reflect the project configuration. More accurate information loaded into toolpath simulation software returns more accurate results which allows correctly informed decisions. Tool Holde...

Chain controls

SURFCAM has Chaining filters that can help users select geometry more easily. When choosing Chaining Options before selecting geometry, users can control two properties of the chain. A chain could be constrained to only identify only further geometry that is planar with previously selected geometry to filter out plane direction changes. Alternatively or jointly an option to identify only furthe...
SURFCAM Tech Tip - Flow Surface Toolpath
มุมมอง 5177 หลายเดือนก่อน
Flow Surface toolpaths in SURFCAM are created using the 3 Axis Planar command. A necessary manually generated flow surface must be constructed prior to this command. The Surface Boundary Splines command can be used to generate wireframe that will be the basis for this flow surface. This video shows how to create a basic flow surface for a toolpath toolpath using these curves. Flow surface toolp...
Change system colors

SURFCAM has customizable settings where users can configure the various colors SURFCAM uses for its interface. The color controls are found under Tools - Options. Areas of the software can be configured to use fully custom user settings, such as the background color gradient or various display elements. Users can reset colors back to factory install default settings or even set the background t...
Shank collision checking
มุมมอง 36910 หลายเดือนก่อน
Starting with SURFCAM 2023.1, there is a new option to generate safer toolpaths. When using the supported toolpaths, and a tool is defined with a shank diameter exceeding the flute diameter, those toolpaths will delete moves where the shank will interfere with the part geometry. There are toolpaths in the 2D wireframe as well as 3D surface programming levels that support this new option.
2D Toolpath Wireframe Geometry Control
มุมมอง 33111 หลายเดือนก่อน
Surfcam allows quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to selecting geometry for 2D Toolpaths. The geometry could be at the top, bottom, or even removed by several inches in Z from where an actual cut occurs. The Cut Control - Geometry parameter allows users to define where their selected geometry resides relative to where material needs to be removed.
SURFCAM Tech Tip - Using DESIGNER to Create Custom Stock Shapes
มุมมอง 713ปีที่แล้ว
DESIGNER can be installed along with SURFCAM. With this companion piece of software, users can quickly modify a part file to create a stock shape. This stock geometry can be used to control cut volume boundaries in toolpaths, or to create STL files that the verify package can reference.
Drag & Drop with Append
มุมมอง 370ปีที่แล้ว
SURFCAM has the ability to open files using the Windows "Drag & Drop" method from Windows File Explorer. Simply drag a valid file onto SURFCAM, and the file will open inside the system. If a user taps the SHIFT key while in the middle of the drag, SURFCAM will load the file using the "Append" mode just as if the Append checkbox was checked in the bottom of the File → Open window.
Use DESIGNER for a Custom Tool Holder Shape
มุมมอง 294ปีที่แล้ว
DESIGNER allows SURFCAM users easily load in manufacturer solid CAD, then extract the rotated profile. This helps cut out several steps that would otherwise make this process more tedious. DESIGNER helps us retrieve the core of the holder profile, which we then streamline for .SCCTL files in SURFCAM.
Drawing a Custom Tool Holder Profile
มุมมอง 392ปีที่แล้ว
It is possible to sketch a custom tool holder profile in SURFCAM and save it as a .SCCTL file. Those .SCCTL files can then be used by SURFCAM for later functionality in toolpaths and verification. This video gives a simple explanation of the rules of the .SCCTL files and a simple walkthrough drawing one such profile.
Save and Reuse Mask Templates
มุมมอง 415ปีที่แล้ว
Mask settings can be configured, saved, and reused across several files. If you use the same colors for your 2D pockets, then you should save a mask template. If you use the same shades for your cut surfaces vs. your check surfaces, then you should save a mask template for each of those. If you import a set of points or circles for drilling different size holes, one way to organize them is to u...
New Database in SURFCAM 2022.1

    This is great! Except the video doesn’t explain at all how to enable the feature. After an hour of looking and trying to use the help index I eventually found it. It’s in Tools tab, Options, NC Defaults, Operation Manager. It is the check box that says “Show Time with Operation Name”. Really cool feature but not everyone is a power user and knows what settings affect what in the program.
