Description
Inventor® CAM software streamlines the machining process by integrating CAD capabilities for 2.5-axis to 5-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn operations. The Product Design & Manufacturing Collection equips users with essential tools for both product design and manufacturing. With advanced technology, you can generate toolpaths that incorporate 3D adaptive clearing and a comprehensive array of finishing toolpaths. The ability to perform simultaneous 4- and 5-axis machining on intricate models is enhanced by features like tilt, multi-axis contouring, and swarf operations. Traditional operations such as turning, facing, grooving, and boring are also supported to boost productivity. The software facilitates live tooling mill-turning and allows for rapid generation of 2D profile cutting paths, with options to add all contours in a single plane, incorporate tabs, and define quality parameters. Additionally, it ensures the safe operation of CNC machines by automatically detecting and preventing collisions between your part and tool holders during the machining process. This combination of features makes Inventor® CAM an invaluable asset for manufacturers looking to optimize their workflows.
Description
MacroFusion™ is a cutting-edge platform designed for CNC macro automation, enabling the transformation of repetitive CAM-generated G-code into smart, reusable macro programs.
