Looking for higher end cam package

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Are you off your meds again Eddie Haskell???, errr Jon?

You should really take a look at Powermill. We use it for our Makino's and are able to program at a 1micron tolerance. I know that is a little overkill, but Powermill eats right through it. 2d in Powermill sucks, but processing time is pretty good.

 

I have also heard good things about using Work NC along with Makino's.

Ed,

 

How much Mastercam experience and training have you had? If its only 3 and 4 ax work, you spent WAY to much on your CAM software. my .02.

What kind of verification you using ??

We push the button at the machine not Mastercam.

 

Can you be a bit more specific as to the bug

that almost scrapped an expensive part ??

 

 

PEACE

you are right ,hardmill , we pushing buttons but

when you going on plane, you trust a pilot and some one who build the plane isn't it ?

I trying to adopt post for x3 .

To not damage my currant set up , I copied and renamed all necessary files to create new machine . I set new post for new machine definition .

Then after while i started new file. Checked

In Op Men property's in "file" my old set up .It came out right files (mmd, control etc )

Then when i started programing i found it changed my setups in control definition like arc parameters and tool setups (offsets ).

Why ?

[Trevor Bailey]

if you read the whats new file, to import previous version mmd, etc... files, you need to use the import function. that is why your "girl" is treating you bad today.

 

a little reading goes a long way.

Prosin, Since you have Makinos have you looked into FFCAM from Makino?
