New
Features in madCAM 4.1 Expert
version
Here is a short presentation of some of the new features.
Dialog to set axis mode.
Set madCAM to run in 3-axis, 4-axis or 5-axis mode. It is possible to set the
direction for rotation axis 1, rotation axis 2 and origin of rotation.
5-axis Construction Plane
If madCAM is set to run in 5-axis mode, the current Cplane in Rhino is used to
automatically calculate the rotation angles.
Toolpath from Cplane Top
Toolpath from Cplane Right
Toolpath from Cplane Front
Z-leveling Surfaces Only
New option for cutting with planar and z-leveling Surfases Only option
will create a toolpath that cuts only where the cutter is touching surfaces.
Z-levels Surfaces Only
Standard Z-levels
Z-levels Surfaces Only Two Sides
Automatic Remachining
Video
The remachining is calculated from the true stock model. It works for Z-level finishing
and Planar finishing. It is possible to do remachining with any cutter in
madCAM, Ball end, Flat End, Corner End and Taper Mill.
Taper Mill option
It is now possible to use taper cutters in madCAM.
Z-level finishing Smooth Corners option
New option for sharp or smooth corners for Z-level finishing. If the cutter
can't reach corners on the model due to cutter size, it will normally produce
sharp corners on the toolpath. The smooth corners option will create fillets
at those corners and make it smooth even when cutting those areas.
Planar
finishing Blend option
New option for blending when joining the toolpath curves for
Planar finishing. This makes a smoother motion when
cutting.
