New Vero Machining STRATEGIST Release

By DE Editors

Vero Software announced the release of Machining STRATEGIST V13. The multi-axis CAM solution generates optimum HSM roughing and finishing CNC toolpaths for both the office and shop-floor environment. The solution is CAD-independent and can work with data from all major 3D modeling systems. Within the latest release, support for VISI 19 has been included, and the CAD interfaces have been aligned to Parasolid v24, SolidEdge ST4 and Catia v5 r21.

Other new enhancements include:

HM Waterline Passes - A finishing strategy that combines all the benefits of a traditional waterline operation with a 3D pocketing routine that interacts with the main strategy whenever the shallow area between consecutive passes allows the insertion of additional passes.

HM Rib Machining Passes - A new strategy designed to machine very thin walls. It combines a new roughing toolpath and a finishing strategy to create a unique toolpath that should preserve the highest possible part rigidity.

Further product enhancements include improvements to Helical passes, calculation speed improvements for non-smoothed waterline passes, and the ability to define different feed rates within Rest Machining and Combined Waterline for steep & shallow and offset passes.
