SolidCAM - Introduction to Imachining

January 15, 2026

Offers a clear introduction to SolidCAM’s iMachining technology and how it dramatically improves roughing performance in both hard and soft materials. The video demonstrates how iMachining automatically identifies part boundaries, selects optimal step‑downs and applies a morphed‑spiral toolpath to maintain consistent cutter load and reduce cycle times. It then moves on to pocket machining, showing how faces can be selected quickly and how the system adapts to both open and closed pockets while determining safe entry points. Finally, it explores 3D iMachining, highlighting automatic geometry detection, controlled machining depths, rest‑roughing and full simulation with fixtures, giving users confidence in efficient and safe material removal.
