Preparation for machining – Alphacam YouTube: https://youtu.be/rOIYsE9i3Yg The geometry is almost ready for machining. At the beginning, remove the outer rectangle. It’s a bit too big for the stock. We will prepare a smaller one later. Choose Edit | Delete and remove the outer rectangle. Now set the geometry direction arrows properly. All geometries are…
What is a postprocessor? YouTube: https://youtu.be/8BCcnPA8vqE What is a postprocessor and what is it applicable to CAM systems? Why is there always a postprocessor topic talking about CAM systems? The postprocessor is an external application that translates the toolpaths into a machining program adapted to the selected machine. That’s how it can be called in…
Edit | Trim – Alphacam YouTube: https://youtu.be/oQhagFa7APQ The second way to extract a fragment of geometry is to use the Trim function. We will discuss this on the right side of the part, so that we get what we obtained previously on the left. Choose Edit | Trim. On the command line, the TRIM: Select…
Remove from operation – Alphacam YouTube: https://youtu.be/RS34kL0ryf4 In the previous post I showed how to add geometry to the operation, for example in a situation where we did not select all geometries and confirmed the choice or when we just added a geometry and we do not want to create another operation for this one…
Start Point – Alphacam YouTube: https://youtu.be/wgGXTfU6lss You know how to change the direction and side of machining, but you must know that the arrow also represents the beginning of machining. The machining will start where the arrow is. The arrow marks the entry point of the tool into the material, but we can change the…
Alphacam Enclosing Rectangle Enclosing Rectangle is another option from Special Geometries. Create any geometry or open the file from the previous lesson. Now select the Enclosing Rectangle and in command line select All. This will select all geometry in the workspace. Accept this by clicking RMB. We received a rectangle enclosing whole geometry. Please see…
