Batch Processing in Control X Professional This month, we continue to explore the Control X Professional Automation tools. Last month, we took a look at the Airfoil Analysis tool. This month, we focus on Batch Processing. Batch processing enables the user to create an inspection plan using a nominal CAD model and can then automatically assign the same inspection criteria to any number of scans, located on the user’s network. [...]
Mastercam customers, get ready to elevate your machining capabilities with the latest B-Axis Contour Turning Enhancements! These advancements are designed to provide you with greater precision, efficiency, and flexibility in your machining processes. Here’s a closer look at the benefits: 1. Enhanced Tool Angle Controls The new enhancements offer improved control over tool angles, allowing for more precise adjustments. This means you can achieve better surface finishes and more accurate cuts, reducing the need [...]
What's New with Shining 3D Scanners Einscan HX and HX2 (Reverse Engineering) The HX is an excellent scanner for reverse engineering. For the scanning and reverse engineering of many part sizes and shapes, the Einscan HX (and soon, the HX2) are an excellent choice. Stay-tuned for HX2 info. when it becomes available. The HX and HX2 are hybrid scanners. While holding 40 micron total tolerance in laser mode, this scanner model can also scan [...]
Utilizing Color Maps for understanding machining outcomes Consider this airfoil. It was programmed and machined on a 5-Axis mill, using a single setup. The ball mill was able to travel completely around the shape, during the machining process and therefore blending the top and bottom of the surface didn’t need to be considered. Our job is to inspect the airfoil and make suggestions to the CNC Programmer and Tool Designer to optimize the machining process. [...]
Freeform Plus – Exporting a Clay Model for 3D Printing In this week's 2 minute Tuesday, we revisit a very popular webinar presented several months ago titled, “Redefining Patient-Specific 3D Design,” to discuss how a clay model can be exported for 3D printing applications from Oqton's Freeform Plus.
An Overview of the Formlabs Fuse- CimCast In our fifth episode of CimCast, we discuss the Fuse 3D printers from one of Cimquest's vendors, Formlabs. Learn more: https://cimquest-inc.com/formlabs-fuse-1-new/
Freeform Plus – StructureFX In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we delve into the StructureFX tool in Oqton’s Freeform Plus. The StructureFX tool enables the user to algorithmically generate complex clay structures that would otherwise be extremely difficult or virtually impossible to create using other clay modeling methods.
The Intuitive and High-Speed Form 4 by Formlabs Watch this recorded webinar where we delve into the world of cutting-edge 3D printing with the Formlabs Form 4. The Form 4 provides everything you’d expect from a Formlabs 3D printer, except now it does it 4x faster.
