Please check back to the CATI Blog as the CATI Application Engineers will continue to break down many of the new items in SOLIDWORKS 2023. I hope this part of the What’s New series gives you a better understanding of the new features and functions of SOLIDWORKS 2023. Contact our fantastic CAM team today to learn more about how integrated CAD/CAM can help grow your business. These enhancements to SOLIDWORKS CAM 2023 will allow for more advanced milling operations to be completed faster and with better results keeping your projects on time and in spec. You can also specify your own acceptable deviation from the arc, making sure your cut comes out true. This is a great option for those tricky 2.5 or 3-axis Volu-mill paths that need to be as continuous as possible. This allows for a smoother cut than what we could get with a point-to-point arc cut. In 2023, we can now deal with these parameters in batch!Īnother functionality we’re excited about in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2023 is the option to split arcs into lines only, creating a polyline. Worse, you had to define them one at a time.

Previously, the right mouse button menu was the only way to create a contain or avoid area. The new Geometry tab allows you to define avoid or contain areas and features. The operation parameters dialog now has another time-saving enhancement for 3-axis machining operations.Īctivating a 3-axis operation in the SOLIDWORKS CAM Operation Tree, like a Z-Level Operation, we now have a Geometry tab. Contact radius of ball nose mill vs contact radius of a barrell millīarrel Mill support in the new SOLIDWORKS CAM is going to be a game changer! Geometry Tabīarrel mill tooling will be a great advantage for anyone that works with 3 or more axis machining operations.
