It’s easy to create a new probing operation in associated to an existing setup. To meet these requirements, SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional 2020 introduces probing operations. Components like the fixed plate housing shown below have several critical features with precise tolerances. Precision equipment often requires high-precision manufacturing to achieve the desired performance. With the new Tab Cutting tool in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020, you can quickly create detailed toolpaths to drive your manufacturing processes. With the operation updates complete, the regenerated toolpath can be simulated giving you complete confidence in your manufacturing setup. Users can specify both the number of tabs and their spacing with individual offset control.Īdditional options allow for further refinement of the toolpath set up to ensure the highest quality output and machine performance. Users have full control over the size of the tabs and thickness options when cutter depth is a factor. SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020 introduces Tab Cutting a new option to generate this critical toolpath detail versus manually adding these operations in post-processing. Let’s say you have large cutouts like the ones shown below that need to remain attached to ensure your large scrap pieces don’t damage the machine or ruin the part. SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020 comes equipped with even smarter features and functionality to complete your products faster than ever.Ĭustom machined components often require special attention to manufacture.

SOLIDWORKS CAM introduced as an add-in to SOLIDWORKS CAD in 2018, is a powerful tool that helps prepare designs for manufacturability early in the development cycle.
