SolidCAM Postprocessors

For lathes CNC and mill-turn CNC machines, the cost of developing a SolidCAM postprocessor with machine simulation, and MCO depends on the kinematic units and the configuration of the machine, and the calculation varies and depends on individual order and demands.
The price starts from $1500.

For mill CNC machines, you can check the ready-made solutions which are presented below, or order an individual development if there is NO required type of CNC control in the list.

Optimal structure of generated programs. Header, tool call, tool changer preconditioning, tool length compensation applied, tool diameter compensation running, coolant or air cooling on/off, tool retraction, program end. The basic transformations of transitions, as well as the cycles of drilling, threading and boring, are correctly configured.

Correctly work out not only complex multi-axis trajectories (rotary, multi-axis, etc.), but also simple trajectories written through the 2.5x SolidCAM module (contour, sweep). 4-coordinate transformation is set up correctly.

Technology, Solidworks and SolidCAM development

CAD

1. Building a 3D model according to the drawing.
We will build a 3D model of any complexity according to the finished drawing or sketch.

2. Building a 3D model from an imported format (eg .stl).
Today it is standard practice to save and share copies of models saved in a universal format. Such models can serve only for demonstration, because they cannot be edited in the construction tree of the CAD program. We will build a 3D model in the program that you use to work, after which the model can be used for all possible tasks.

3. Development and design of specialized equipment.
For a more rational and faster production of parts, as well as readjustment of the machine, all kinds of devices are used. Standard fasteners such as vices, chucks, etc. you can just buy. Instead of standard fixtures that are used for serial parts, you need to design it yourself. We take on this task.

4. Design of parts and assemblies at the individual request of the customer.
We are ready to discuss any task that the customer faces. We included any possible design tasks under this item, starting from a small detail and ending with the layout of the workshop.

Technology

1. Development of a technological process for manufacturing parts of any complexity.
Based on the specifics of your production, we will select the most rational and optimal route for processing a part of any complexity, draw up a clear technological process, which will include setup maps and parts reference points.

2. Implementation of advanced technologies in existing projects.
Technology does not stand still, and machining is also developing. New progressive machining strategies and new types of cutting tools are emerging. Using our knowledge of modern progressive processing methods, we will not only show you how to process a part, but also help you introduce new technology!

3. Optimization of the technological process for small-scale production.
In the case when it is necessary to manufacture parts in series, standard methods of fastening and setting up parts, as a rule, take a lot of time for changeover. We will develop special equipment so that the machine works in automatic mode, and changeover takes a minimum of machine time.

4. Automation of the technological process for large-scale and mass production.
When it is necessary to set up mass production of any parts, automated lines and robotic sections are used for the most productive work. We are also ready to help with this task.

Programming (CAM)

1. Writing CAM projects from scratch.
We will write a project for processing a part of any complexity. For us, there are no impossible tasks when it comes to CAM programming and machining of parts.

2. Optimization of existing projects.
Redefine and accelerate existing CAM projects with the most optimal processing strategies.

3. Implementation of progressive processing strategies.
We will help you understand and teach you how to put into practice new methods and strategies of machining.

4. Selection of cutting tools and cutting modes.
Now every manufacturer of cutting tools has a catalog with recommended cutting conditions. However, in practice, too many factors affect cutting conditions. This is the rigidity of the fastening of the part, the power of the spindle, the holder, the departure of the tool from the holder, and much more. Having vast experience in working with all kinds of materials, we will help you with the choice of cutting conditions!

5. Organization of the base of the cutting tool.
In CAM software modules, it is possible to create your own cutting tool databases, which subsequently greatly speeds up writing programs. We will organize your tool base and indicate the recommended cutting conditions on each of them, under standard cutting conditions.

Depending on the complexity of the task, the price is set individually.
