Multi-Axis Surface Machining in a Nutshell |
|
Multi-Axis Surface Machining enables you to produce NC
programs dedicated to machining parts designed in 3D wireframe or solids
geometry using multi-axis machining techniques. Based on industry recognized and leading edge technologies, Multi-Axis Surface Machining provides tight integration between tool path definition, verification and modification. Multi-Axis Surface Machining is an add-on product to 3-Axis Surface Machining. Thus, the user benefits from superior 3-axis multiple surface machining and leading edge 5-axis simultaneous machining tightly integrated in a flexible NC Programming workbench. Multi-Axis Surface Machining is particularly adapted for mockup and die machining in automotive domains where the use of 5-axis simultaneous machining brings unequalled surface quality. Moreover, it is targeted at prototype machining, 5-axis trimming and special machining where full 5-axis machining is the requirement for quick and accurate manufacturing. Multi-Axis Surface Machining is also an add-on product to Prismatic Machining and Lathe Machining. As an add-on product, it takes advantage of functions such as material removal simulation and NC data generation. It adds the following dedicated multi-axis surface machining techniques to the capabilities offered by the other NC Machining products:

Getting the Most Out of this Guide |
|
To make the most out of this book, we suggest that a beginning user reads the Getting Started chapter first of all and the Workbench Description to find his way around the Multi-Axis Surface Machining workbench. The User Tasks section gives a quick description of the operating mode of the various actions, whereas the Reference Information section lists the parameters used in those actions. | |
Accessing Sample Documents |
|
To perform the scenarios, sample documents are provided all along this documentation. For more information about this, refer to Accessing Sample Documents in the Infrastructure User's Guide. |
