SolidCAM What Is - Turning and Mill Turn?
This webcast introduces turning and mill-turn operations in SolidCAM. It covers setting up fixtures, jaws, and Z-levels, selecting tools, and configuring safety distances. Demonstrations include face operations, external and internal turning, grooving, drilling with peck cycles, boring, and cutoff processes, highlighting features like smooth cutting, non-descending motions, and updated stock previews. The session then explores mill-turn functionality, showing how to create secondary coordinate systems for milling, apply 2.5D pocketing on wrapped geometry, and use multi-position strategies for repeated features. SolidCAM’s flexibility enables efficient machining workflows for complex parts, combining turning and milling in a single environment.
