VisualCAM 2015 - MILL
Marrying the power and functionality of Geomagic Design’s parametric design capabilities with the robust and powerful milling
capabilities of MecSoft’s standalone CAM software, VisualCAM 2015 for Geomagic delivers outstanding ease of use, associativity to design, power, speed and affordability. There isn’t a better CAD/CAM software package on the market for the price than
the combination of Geomagic Design and VisualCAM. The MILL module of this product has an extremely powerful feature set
that allows the user to generate 2 1/2, 3, and 4 axis tool paths for CNC machining your Alibre/Geomagic Design 3D models. It
comes with hundreds of free posts as well as the ability to generate your own if needed.
Configurations
VisualCAM - MILL for Geomagic Standard (STD)
This is a general purpose machining program targeted at the general machinist. This
product is ideal for the rapid-prototyping, hobby and educational markets where ease of
use is a paramount requirement. Packed with sufficiently powerful manufacturing methods
this easy to use package is not only effective but also attractively priced for the budget
conscious or entry level buyer.
VisualCAM - MILL for Geomagic Expert (EXP)
MILL
VisualCAM - MILL for Geomagic Professional (PRO)
This powerful package is ideal for mold, die and tooling, wood working rapid-prototyping
and general machining markets. This product boasts of powerful toolpath generation
strategies coupled with tools for efficiently controlling the cutting tool for detailed machining
capabilities, while not sacrificing ease of use. Suitable for demanding users with
sophisticated manufacturing requirements. This product configuration includes all of the
functionality included in the EXP configuration described above.
This configuration allows 4th Axis Indexed and continuous roughing and finishing operations. Curve based continuous machining such as 4 Axis Facing, Pocketing, Profiling & Engraving
as well as Surface/solids/meshes based machining such as Roughing, Finishing and Curve Projection machining are available. This configuration includes all of the functionality included
in the STD configuration.
