throughout the complete Manufacturing Process

Stock models for machining can be defined using any 2D contour, 3D model or can be automatically derived from the target model. This option enables the user to efficiently manufacture casts or prefabricated workpieces. SolidCAM uses the difference between the stock and target model to calculate the roughing operations on the 3D model.

  

After each successive machining step, the rest material will be automatically updated. At any stage of the manufacturing process, SolidCAM provides powerful functions to display, analyze and machine the remaining rest material. The rest material features are available for 2.5D, 3D and 3+2-axis multi-sided machining.
