Hi I'm working on a little engine project where we plan to use normal tool grade carbide to balance a crankshaft. But to get the design as close to reality as possible we need to know the density of carbide. I've found many different spec depending on the carbide type. I just the the density of the type you get from your normal tool grinder as this is the type we plan to use. Metric values are prefered

Any other impeller cutting software which could be worth looking at?
-
Hi Does some of you have any experience with the new blade expert for impeller machining? How does this perform compared to NREC and hyperMILL?
-
My guess is: Number of customers reporting the same bug How critical it's How long time will it take to fix it Not sure about the order

CNC din't drop support for Volumill. They just cancelled the free mastercam seat Volumill had in order to develop their c-hook. Volumill could have continued development if they just purchased their own seat of mastercam. I guess volumill calculated that this seat would cost more than what they could earn on selling new volumill c-hooks. Adaptive clearing is being developed by Cimco who is a mastercam reseller. They have all they need in order to continue developing their c-hook.

That will not happen. Powermill is very close to release their own.

Best output for a Röders is pure line segments. Then the spline interpolation works best. Don't use any smoothing. Röders I would use a finishing tolerance between 0.01 - 0.0005mm. depending on part size and needed surface finish and accuracy.

Wow 42 hours per day. Ohh tru, in US everything is bigger, better and longer

Cimco Performance Pack Recently updated for X6 support. I've been told that it's still being developed as a "child" of the HSMWorks 3D kernel.
-
Let's see if this post clears the sensorship Some CAD/CAM maintenance percentage: Mastercam 10% Powermill 12% Edgecam 16% SolidWorks 25% Siemens NX 22% These numbers can of course vary from country to country.

Interesting. PowerMill forum Delcam has released service packs for Powermill 2011 even after releasing 2012. Powermill 2011 reached service pack 11 in its lifecycle. I don't think Powermill has more bugs than Mastercam, I just think Delcam puts more pride in fixing problems.
-
Just remember that these 140 developers are split over many softwares. Powermill, powershape, partmaker, featurecam + more. I'm quite sure the powermill dev team is <50.

Please check page 12. My link And this as well. My link Original HST toolpaths are from NC Graphics. Cimco's HSM Performance Pack is also from NC Graphics.

This solution works fine for me.

+10000 Paul and the rest of the Camplete team is doing a fantastic job.

With a good post from In-House or Cimco with support for TWP and TCPC you don't have to program from centre of rotation. Just put your work piece zero point on the machine in the same place as your mcam zero point and you're ready to cut.

I tested a 3X Volumill program on a Matsuura MX-520 with iZ-1/30 ( Ai Contour Control-II ) Programmed feedrate was 7200mm./min. and Highfeed 20000mm./min. Mastercam backplot time 4m36s G131 R1 time 7m 5s G130 ( no highspeed active ) time 5m32s

If you setup your fanuc nc-format with G68.2 (TWP) for indexing and G43.5 (TCPC type 2) for simultaneous, you could actually use the exact same nc-program on both AC and BC table kinematics.
-
Small correction V.Max-800 5AX is AC table, MAM72-63V is also AC table, 35V is BC table Only Matsuura AB so far is the huge MAM72-100H.
-
Camplete first postprocess the nci and the run the machine simulation on the posted nc-code. Huge difference.
-
More accurate yes, faster no. Because of the more accurate path control the machining time will in most cases also be longer because the controller slows down the feedrate to stay on the correct path. I've done some test on new Matsuura's with 30i/31i and the fastest running time was without highspeed active. But this was very unaccurate so it could only be used for roughing.
-
CNC sure isn't very informative on this matter. What about all the user who already upgraded to X6. Should they go back to X5? An official statement from CNC could be nice.
-
So will I've to reinstall or am I good to go?
-
If you checked Omoe's links you would see it was a CNC download and not some pirate site. http://updates.mastercam.com/X6/release/mastercamX6-x86-web.exe ( link provided by Omoe ) http://updates.mastercam.com/X5/release/mastercamX5-web.exe ( link from mastercam.com -> Support -> Downloads )
-
So if no serious bugs are found in the RTM version this then becomes the public release?
