Vericut Force/OptiPath Question


Recommended Posts

It has been a decade since I have used Vericut. When I did we were using NX with no Volumill. When we ran the programs through the vericut OptiPath module we saw big reductions in roughing times. My question is for people using Force or OptiPath now with Volumill/Dynamic style toolpaths, what kind of time savings are you seeing in real life? So often these toolpaths are running at the limit of the machines accel/decel and feedrates. Did you change your programming to better utilize the Force/OptiPath?

Doug,

 

I have a customer with Solidcam Imachining and Vericut force. He says he regularly gets around 10% savings. I would expect the same for Mastercam dynamic toolpaths although I do not have real data on this.

That is kind of what I expected to hear. I think you would end up needing to adjust the way you machine to take full advantage of the Force module.

Once you had your Force parameters dialed in, push the dynamic parameters to the limit, or even over the limit and let Force dial it back

to the optimal settings ??????
