Without holder consideration, tools need to be long for safe machining. The 3D tool path automatically adjusts to avoid collisions between the holder and the updated stock at every stage. IMachining 3D generates the toolpaths automatically and optimally for significant time savings. The iMachining 3D module can automatically produce a complete, ready to run CNC program with optimal cutting conditions for 3D parts by using its expert Knowledge-based Technology Wizard, by roughing and rest roughing a complete 3D part, with true scallop on all slopes, all in a single operation. Unmatched for hard material machining, it gives significantly longer tool life and offers outstanding small tool performance. The patented iMachining 2D module with its Technology Wizard provides the fastest cycle times, saving 70 percent machining time and more. For deburring and trimming, the new Contour 5-axis machining strategy tilts the tool along a chained 3D profile according to defined tilt lines, making it ideal for these processes. Four strategies will completely finish a port: Rouging, Rest Rough, Spiral and Plunge Finishing. The Port machining operation is a new and easy to use method for machining ports with lollipop milling tools. Major enhancements to the Simultaneous 5 axis module include new tilting options and improvements to the SWARF, 5X Drill and Convert HSM to Sim 5X operation, which converts 3-axis machining to 5-axis machining. The HSS complementary module for surface machining is upgraded with new lead-in ramping options (see Figures 3- 7). The powerful 2.5D Milling module adds more Toolbox roughing and finishing operations, while threading and engraving operations are enhanced. Newest features of InventorCAM are discussed by various shops that use it. More than 100 new enhancements include iMachining 2D & 3D, 2.5D Milling, HSS, HSR/HSM, Sim 5X, Turning, Advanced Mill-Turn for multi-turret and multi-spindle machines, and the new module Solid Probe.
