In version 4.0, VoluMill Universal includes this powerful feature for the first time. Here's how it works. First, import a part and create or import a stock like this one: Next, create a VoluMill 3-axis operation.

But if you're just starting out, how can you select the best parameters for your machine? In a series of tests, we've come up with some rules of thumb to help get you started. Of course, after dialing in these parameters, you can use your own instincts and experience to fine-tune http://volumill.blogspot.com/2011/07/machining-tip-how-do-i-get-started.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Celeritive Technologies)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321071124899724547.post-2830584430652801837Fri, 22 Oct 2010 17:05:00 +00002010-10-22T10:05:42.944-07:00geometricnewscamworksCeleritive Technologies, Inc. has signed an agreement with Geometric, a leader in developing advanced manufacturing software, to offer the ultra-high-performance machining software program VoluMill™ as an option for its leading solid-based CNC programming solution CAMWorks®.

Well, VoluMill is designed to run at high feedrates and spindle speeds, and therefore the cutting tool makes no sharp turns when VoluMill is cutting material. The smoothing radius is simply a value that determines how far the tool is allowed to go into sharp corners or narrow areas. A smaller value lets the tool go farther. http://volumill.blogspot.com/2010/10/tech-tip-smoothing-radius.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Celeritive Technologies)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321071124899724547.post-8268357239545269027Wed, 06 Oct 2010 18:06:00 +00002010-10-06T11:06:08.248-07:00Our friends over at Helical Tools have a YouTube channel.
