Description

RayViz is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS created by Lambda Research Corporation that allows users to integrate and save optical properties seamlessly within the SOLIDWORKS CAD interface. This feature enables users to assign optical traits from the TracePro property database, ensuring that these properties are embedded within the SOLIDWORKS model itself. Users have the capability to define light sources and execute ray tracing directly in SOLIDWORKS, which aids in visualizing light rays and their trajectories, thereby supporting tasks like verifying beam paths, spotting vignetting caused by mechanical elements, and detecting light leakage in light guides. Additionally, RayViz comes equipped with catalogs of LED sources and those featuring Gaussian and Lambertian beam profiles. A notable benefit of using RayViz is its functionality to save SOLIDWORKS models in the TracePro file format, which allows for thorough optical analysis within TracePro. Moreover, should any changes be made to the SOLIDWORKS model, users can easily synchronize these updates using the "update from RayViz" feature in TracePro, enhancing workflow efficiency. This integration ultimately streamlines the design process for optical engineers by combining powerful tools in a unified platform.

Description

As the tool or insert increases, so does the volume of material removed, allowing for full depth of cut even with smaller diameter tools by utilizing the entire height of the tool edge. The innovative optimized tool paths created by the software significantly enhance cutting speeds, leading to improved productivity and maximizing the capabilities of CNC machines. Many clients have reported canceling plans for new machinery acquisitions, while others have successfully reduced their tool order volumes. SolidCAM stands out as the premier integrated CAM software, seamlessly aligning with both SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor. With its unique and patented iMachining module, SolidCAM offers exceptional savings and heightened efficiency in CNC machining operations, yielding substantial benefits for all users. This level of efficiency not only enhances operational effectiveness but also fosters long-term success for businesses utilizing SolidCAM solutions.
