CAMS participated in the Ganesh Technical Center Open House on Tuesday, May 7th, in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. CAMWorks was used to program the parts pictured. The mold core was cut on a Ganesh VFM-4024 vertical milling center with a Mitsubishi 720M control. VoluMill 3-axis was used to rough the aluminum part at 500 IPM.
The turn part was run on a Ganesh KSL 7612-TMY mill-turn machine with a Mitsubishi M70L control. CAMWorks turning, face drilling, and OD milling—including Y-axis milling—were used to complete the part.

Introducing: CAMWorks Nesting
Automatic nesting solution for SolidWorks®
CAMWorks® Nesting is an automatic nesting module designed to nest the layouts of SolidWorks parts or assemblies. It is seamlessly integrated within SolidWorks® and allows nesting of flat or 3D sheet metal parts or assembly models. CAMWorks Nesting uses NestLib®, one of the fastest and most featured automatic true-shape nesting library available in the industry.
This module can be used to create efficient layouts of metal, wood or composite based materials, producing the maximum number of parts from a single piece of raw material within minutes
Features and benefits:
- Easy to learn and use
- Part-in-part nesting
- Fully Automatic true-shape nesting solution
- Fast Nesting and Optimal Nesting (with time constraint) options
- Full associativity with SolidWorks® - Updates are tracked, and flagged whenever a change is made to the component and are reflected instantly
- Automatically nests multiple parts, based on the material and thickness, thus eliminating the manual efforts of segregating individual parts
- Material optimization - Advanced nesting algorithms reduce raw material consumption by providing optimized and compact layouts
- Improved utilization and increase in productivity

CAMWorks Volumill: Program Smarter! Machine Faster! Improve Tool life
CAMWorks® VoluMill™ is an optional and newly introduced milling toolpath engine within CAMWorks for 2.5 axis and 3 axis roughing operations. It is ideal for prismatic parts and complex 3-D shapes, producing more intelligent toolpaths to machine pockets, slots, and arbitrary shapes. Volumill is well suited for machining soft as well as hard materials that are hard to chip, such as titanium, nickel-based alloys or stainless steel. The result is increased efficiency and utilization of machines, tools, labor and materials. Volumill is developed by Celeritive Technologies' and the kernel has been successfully used in the market for years within standalone versions and other integrations.

To Comp or Not to Comp....That is the Question
Many CAMWorks users have recently asked questions about Toolpath Center Compensation and whether or not to run with it or without it. At CAMS, we strongly recommend taking advantage of CAMWorks Toolpath Center Compensation functionality. One of the main benefits of a CAM system is the ability to display, simulate, and evaluate toolpath prior to machine movement. Take full advantage of this benefit; alleviate considerable confusion for the user while also ensuring on-screen display represents the output code.Posted on: 4/24/2009
