Technology

The Technology section enables you to choose the machining strategy to be applied.

The following strategies are available:

Roughing strategies (HSR)

HM Roughing
Contour roughing
Hatch roughing
Hybrid Rib roughing
Rest roughing

Finishing strategies (HSM)

Constant Z machining
Hybrid Constant Z machining
Helical machining
Horizontal machining
Linear machining
Radial machining
Spiral machining
Morphed machining
Offset cutting
Boundary machining
Rest machining
Contour Rest Machining
3D Constant step over
Pencil milling
Parallel pencil milling
3D Corner offset
Prismatic Part machining
Combine Constant Z with..

SolidCAM allows you to see the most common operations in HSR/HSM. When you click on Customize Menu, you can simplify the user interface by selecting the technologies you require for machining of the part. Only the selected options are then displayed in the Technology list.
