CALL IT "DONE"

ouch

Lucky I took the Cimco HSM to a customer who makes molds and wrote a program for one of their molds. This customer let's me show up and take over the shop any time. i setup the machine and called the plant mgr and programmer to the machine. i first showed them an improved roughing cycle but the kicker was the finish cycle. on the Haas machine they have they were getting jerky movements around 200 ipm with Cimco filtering the xy, xz, yz i was able to get 550 ipm and could have done more and very smooth path. The mgr asked me where to send check to and i have not showed the HSM module yet. It is a great product and superfast on toolpath generation. Ex. scallop toolpath mastercam 20 meg file started 9:00 pm on a 2 gig processor pentium4 1 gig ram at 9:00 am still processing. HSM same file and computer 10min. I am impressed with this product.
