SprutCAM Tech, the CAD/CAM/OLP software company, has released SprutCAM X 17.0.11.
Enhanced .dxf Format Support: SprutCAM X enables users to import sketches in .dxf format and convert them into sketches within the build-in 3D CAD module. This enhancement facilitates the creation of 3D models of parts for machining projects based on imported sketches.
Expanded Compatibility: We added MOKA industrial robots to MachineMaker, the application for creating digital twins of equipment in SprutCAM X Robot. Wuhu Moka Robot Technology has more than 10 series of industrial robot products, including hollow welding robots, handling robots, loading and unloading robots, special robots for die-casting and grinding, stamping robots, etc. The SprutCAM X Robot Components Library now includes the following MOKA robot models: MR07S-930, MR08-1840, MR10L-2050, MR10Z-1440, MR12-2010, MR12Z-1550, MR20-1800, MR20E-1840, MR25ED and MR30-1700.
Improved Smart Hints: Updates to Roughing Waterline, Finishing Waterline, 2D Contouring, and Pocketing operations with enhanced smart hints for a more user-friendly experience.
Configuration Enhancements: We updated the list of operations for the 2.5D Milling configuration and added Chamfering and 2.5D Contouring operations to the Cutting configuration for robotic machining.
User Interface Improvements: The font size in the CLData Viewer (post processor debugging application) interface has been updated for improved readability. Updates to the Approach/Return tab in G-code based operations.
The SprutCAM X 17.0.11 release includes a comprehensive set of bug fixes and addresses issues of the software stability and performance enhancements.
Users with an active software maintenance contract (SMC) have already received notifications about the new release and are encouraged to proceed with the update.
