Turbo 3D HSM module
SolidCAM’s Turbo 3D HSM is a very powerful HSM module for quick and faster calculations than the normal HSM module. It offers unique machining and linking strategies for generating high-speed tool paths. This 3-Axis calculation engine recalculates the tool path at a lightning speed. Its 64-bit architecture completely utilizes all the cores for tool path calculations.
SolidCAM’s Turbo 3D HSM module is simpler with limited parameters and advanced gouge checking strategies.
Define a Turbo 3D HSM operation
Technology types
This section enables you to define the type of the operation. SolidCAM provides you with following types of Turbo 3D HSM operation:
Constant Step Over Rest Finish
Parameter pages
The parameters of the Turbo 3D HSM operation are divided into a number of subgroups. The subgroups are displayed in a tree format on the left side of the Turbo 3D HSM machining operation dialog box. When you click a subgroup name in the tree, the parameters of the selected subgroup appear on the right side of the dialog box.
Geometry - Choose geometry for machining and define the related parameters.
Tool - Choose a tool for the operation and define the related parameters such as feed and spin.
Levels - Define the Clearance area and the machining levels.
Constraint Boundaries - Define the boundaries.
Reference Tool - Define the reference tool used for the Rest Machining tool path calculation. This page is available only when the Technology is selected as Constant Z Rest Finish or Constant Step Over Rest Finish.
Passes - Define the passes parameters.
Link - The Link and Default Lead-In/Out pages enable you to define how the Turbo 3D HSM cutting passes are linked to the complete tool path.
Gouge check - The Gouge check and Clearance data pages enable you to avoid the tool gouging of any selected drive and check surfaces.
Machine Control - Define the parameters related to the kinematics and special characteristics of your CNC-Machine.
Miscellaneous Parameters - Define a number of miscellaneous parameters and options related to the tool path calculation.
