A complete solution to tool builders.

     As the remaining modules, the UniCAM 3D has a designed interface to facilitate the software utilization, so that the user is not required to have great knowledge of computer science. The definitions of all the machining phases and their corresponding parameters are made using the “Command Tree”. The process visualization is facilitated and the definition and machining strategy modification are simplified. The process is guided to the choice of the machining option, tool type and post- processor generation.

    In the UniCAM 3D package, more than 40 post- processors are included for the most spread types of numerical command. The modules for the text generation, vectorial application and Z image are also included in it.
   From a color or black and white bitmap, it is possible to construct embossed surfaces, assigning to each region of a certain color, a height.
   Ideal roughing machining strategy. Special optimization algorithms guarantee constant metal excess, in both, walls and plans. The increment between passes can reach values near 100% of the tool diameter. The operation can be performed with top spherical or striped milling machines.

    This mode is useful to rough forged parts, perform pre-finishing and finishing in 3D models that have vertical regions or on surfaces that present great variation relative to Z axis. The passes can be unidirectional or in two directions, entry tangent to the surface and increment varying in Z to maintain constant the machining peak. 

     Finishing machining between two curves extracted in the automatic mode from the surface edges or defined interactively by the user.
    The travels can be performed in longitudinal or transversal direction.

    The isoparametrical machining is calculated by following the surface “fibers”, so improving the finishing aesthetic result. This mode can be performed with the control of 3 up to 5 shafts simultaneously. 

     The machining with the tool in “bitangence” is typically used to the sharp corner finishing between the surfaces. The passes can be also performed with constant increments in Z and it is possible even to perform a transversal restart to the main pass.
