madCAM
the 3D
CAM plug-in for
Rhinoceros®
Gives the operator the ability to
perform both modeling and toolpath creation inside Rhino 3D.
3D CAM for CNC-milling machines. All menus for controlling madCAM and generated toolpaths are inside Rhinoceros® and stored together with your model. Developed for toolmaking (Mould And Die) as well as for prototype productions. madCAM generates a non-collision toolpath with excellent cutting action. Used where demand for accuracy and perfect surface smoothness is required.
Meant for the NC-operator who demands an easy-to-use and efficient system. It facilitates effective manufacturing in a short period of time. The operator is provided with clarified results of chosen parameters. Handles all 3d- models that Rhinceros do handle and is able to generate NC-codes to all kinds of 3-axis milling machines. A built-in post processor is adaptable for different kinds of controlling systems.
Features (new in 4.1)
Roughing
Removes all the unnecessary material from the workpiece in an effective way
. madCAM cuts the part in z-levels. The operator can choose a ramp angle to
create a smooth approach of the cutter after every retract and traverse.

Finishing
Gives the final surface finish of the part. madCAM effectively calculates
cuts for both planar and z-level finishing. The operator controls the limit
with an angle for relatively horizontal and relatively vertical surfaces.
The limit is calculated from the surface normal.

Remachining
This method offers an opportunity to remove material that remains
where the previous cutter could not reach due to size of cutter. madCAM have
strategies for removing material calculated from the true stock model, inside boundary curves
and with surface dual
contact ( pencil trace ).

Curve Milling
This includes methods for machining from curves. The
curve milling offers opportunities for Engraving
and strategies for toolpath projection
inside boundary curves and between two curves.
