Starting with 2019 Service Pack 1 users will be able to machine the “rest” of the pockets with a smaller tool while utilizing VoluMill toolpaths to shorten machining time while extending tool life. Traditionally, you will add a second operation to finish the exterior pockets with a smaller tool. If we look at the first toolpath below, you can see that the 20mm end mill does a great job roughing out the center of the part but is too large to fit into the outer pockets. To answer the next part of the question, what is “rest” machining, we need to take a look at some toolpaths. This leads to shorter machines times and lower overhead for tooling. By reducing stress on the tool, you can extend the life of traditional tooling. Volumill creates highly efficient toolpaths by combining a high spindle speed with a variable feed rate, allowing the tool to cut faster and deeper while under greatly reduced stress. This technology was developed by Celerative Technologies and is the premier high-speed, science-based toolpath application in the industry today. SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional is where you will find VoluMill. You may be asking yourself, what is VoluMill and Rest Machining? Well, I am glad you asked. Because we don’t want to wait to get some of our new features, we will be adding Rest Machining to VoluMill in Service Pack 1. The 2019 release has lots of significant improvements to SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard and Professional, but we are also adding some new features this year in some of the service packs. If you haven’t had a chance to attend a Reseller rollout head over to our what’s new page on the SOLIDWORKS website.
