The current five-axis programming software includes: UG, mastercam, POWERMILL, WORKNC, GibbsCAM, Cimatron, hypermill,UG, mastercam, POWERMILL, WORKNC, GibbsCAM five-axis programming are all possible, but there are many users of UG, UG is highly comprehensive, and it is not a professional programming software. It takes two or three years of experience to learn; powermill can do five-axis, but it needs A lot of experience can guarantee the safe and reasonable tool path, and it is in the mold industry. It requires two years of three-axis experience to learn. If you are engaged in parts processing, it is generally more convenient to use mastercam, and it does not require too long experience. Which software to use will also change the post-processing, because unlike the three-axis, it is enough to do the post-processing that is compatible with the machine tool at a time, while the five-axis needs to be changed frequently. In addition, the five-axis and five-axis linkage of 3 plus 2 Machining centers are different in programming!
WorkNC is easy to operate, quick to get started, and you can learn it in a week. The tool path is safe and reliable, the processing time is relatively short, and the application range is quite wide. WorkNC intelligent programming, high programming efficiency, powerful Auto5 function, and built-in interference check The device is safe and reliable, low cost, intelligent roughing and secondary roughing, less lifting and emptying, and high processing quality! It should be a simple software to get started,
HyperMill has a shorter training period than UG, and has more support than UG on multiple axes:
1. Knife handle interference
2. Valve module
3. Can define the non-cutting movement of the display room
4. It has its own high-speed milling method. Although it is also to buy the core from VolumeMill to optimize, but UG buys IMachine (high-speed milling module) from SolidCAM, which will be more useful. In addition, HM's unique path Machining is to disassemble the tool path and the tool axis into two parts. First, create an ideal tool path that will hit 100%. It needs to be processed after it cannot be processed.
SolidCAM (hereinafter referred to as SC):
1. Knife-handle interference (unique collision trimming) makes you comfortable in the editing method. Simply put, set the inspection surface (UG term) or protective surface (HM term), and then it will automatically trim, and UG can also be used Slightly come over to achieve the same effect, but things often happen.
2. Valve module.
3. Ability to define non-cutting movement between arrays.
4. Has its own high-speed milling method (IMachine).
5. It will be restricted according to your post-processing machine. If you are a 5-axis BC-axis vertical milling machine of Table/Table, the range of B is -110~+30, and the range of C is 0~360.
In short, MasterCAM is easy to learn and easy to use
UG has powerful functions and many tool paths,
Cimatron five-axis aviation milling
WorkNC is easy to operate
