![]() Sources: Press materials received from the company and additional information gleaned from the company’s website. The same arguments apply to generated source. Most would argue that you shouldnt be checking generated object files and executables into source control. Plus, the integration of InventorCAM 2008 with Autodesk Vault provides access to the centralized document management system from within InventorCAM and through a familiar interface. Generated source files are build artifacts just like object files, libraries and executables. In addition to the existing Turn-Mill capability that supports up to 5-axes (XYZCB), a new capability has been added in InventorCAM 2008 to support a new type of Mill-Turn Machines. ![]() The HSM module has been enhanced in InventorCAM 2008, including use of STL files as input for the generation of High-Speed Machining tool paths. Inventor Advanced Part Modeling is recommended, but not required. InventorCAM 2008 offers a new tool table for milling that supports a broader range of Milling-tools. This capability provides automatic recognition and machining of multi-level, closed and open pockets in a solid model, in addition to through pockets. ![]() ![]() InventorCAM’s Automatic Feature Recognition and Machining capability (AFRM) for multiple drills and complex holes has been greatly enhanced in InventorCAM 2008 with a new capability for the Automatic Feature Recognition and Machining for 2.5D pockets. Not only is the 3D connexion SpaceNavigator mouse supported as a new input device but the new version also contains a framework to integrate external application programs. One focus of the new version is the enhanced simulation capabilities both for solid verification and entire machine simulation. The new version will provide a complete manufacturing solution with enhanced user friendliness, more automation features, and additional interactive CAM functions, says the company. The full associativity between the CAD model and NC toolpath promises a short learning curve and an efficient flow from the 3D design model to the machined part. InventorCAM 2008, which seamlessly integrates into Inventor 2008, is a single-window user interface. SolidCAM (Seattle, WA) will launch its new version InventorCAM 2008 at Autodesk University, (Las Vegas, NV November 27 to 30, 2007). ![]()
