2½ Axis Milling

Automatic Feature Recognition

CAMWorks is a feature-based machining

CAM system that provides the ability to

automatically recognize many prismatic

features including tapers.

• Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR)

analyzes the part shape and attempts

to define the most common

machinable features such as pockets,

bosses, holes and slots.

• AFR recognizes features on native

SolidWorks part models or on solid

parts imported via IGES, SAT, etc.

• AFR can save considerable time when

defining machinable features.

• Toolpath optimization based on grid

or shortest path method.

• Insert Contain and Avoid Areas for

Rough and Finish operations.

• Depth processing by area or by level

for Rough and Finish operations.

• Option to generate an Entry Drill

operation automatically for Rough

and Finish operations.

Face Mill

A Face Mill operation generates

toolpaths on a Face feature for

squaring or facing off the top of a

part.

• Number of passes can be

calculated automatically or user

defined.

• Option to specify one pass down

the middle of the part.

Finishing

A 2 Axis Finish Mill operation

removes material by following the

shape of the profile of pockets, slots,

bosses, etc.

• Spring passes.

• Sharp or round corner transitions.

• Corner machining.

• Methods to determine Z machining

depth: Exact, Equal, Distance

Along.

• Option to use a roughing-style

toolpath from within the Finish

operation to machine bottom of a

Pocket, Slot, Corner Slot, Open

Pocket or Face Feature.

• Change start location for perimeter

or any island within the perimeter.

• Leadin/leadout: arc, perpendicular,

parallel, none.

• Entry types: entry drill, entry hole,

none.

• Retract types: XY position of the

last tool motion, hole center (hole

or circular pockets), user-defined.

• Multiple bottom finish options.

• Thread milling.

Interactive 2½ Axis Features

CAMWorks provides an Interactive 2.5

Axis Feature wizard for defining features

that are not recognized automatically or

features that are not recognized the

way you want to machine them.

The interactive definition of features is

similar to feature definition in

SolidWorks. Sketches, planar part faces

or planar face edges that are normal to

the current Part Setup can be selected

to define the outside shape and

optionally the islands for a 2½ Axis

feature.

Drilling Cycles

• Canned cycle support: drill, pecking,

high speed pecking, variable

pecking, bore, bore w/dwell, back

boring, fine boring, counter boring,

ream, ream w/dwell, tapping,

reverse tapping.

• Specify machining depth to tool tip

or full tool diameter (drill, bore, tap,

ream, and thread mill operations).

• Countersink and center drill

operations: machining depth can be

calculated automatically based on

countersink diameter and tool

size/shape.

Roughing

A 2 Axis Rough Mill operation removes

material by following the machinable

feature shape or by making parallel

cuts across the feature.

• Patterns: zigzag, zig, pocket in/out,

spiral in/out, plunge rough.

• Methods to determine Z machining

depth: exact, equal, distance along,

exact – island tops, distance along –

island tops.

• Wedge machining.

• Option to generate additional

roughing passes above islands.

• Machine entire feature or calculate

toolpath from WIP or from previous

leftover.

• Entry types: plunge, entry drill,

ramp, entry hole.

• Retract types: hole center, length &

angle.

• Options to generate high-speed

toolpaths with no sharp corners.

2½ Axis Milling

2½ Axis Milling includes automatic

roughing, finishing, thread milling and

single point (drilling, boring, reaming,

tapping) cycles to machine prismatic

features.

• Machining algorithms use the latest

toolpath and gouge protection

methods.

• Cutting cycles provide fast, error-free

toolpaths using ball, flat end mill,

taper, corner round, thread mill and

hog nose tools.
