WHAT’S NEW

Advanced Robot moduleAdvanced Robot module provides easy and intuitive programming of complex 3D motions of the robot effectors. This options extend robots machining features: bypass inaccessible positions and singularities with optimizer due to automatic robot axes map building.

BenefitsConfiguration map (machine/robot), flips and singularities, rails and rotary tables, Control of 6-axis, set the tool under the desired angle to the plane (flank).

Morph operationMorph operation generates a toolpath that smoothly morphs between two specified curves with high speed links. Available strategies include: Across, Along, Sprial.3 to 5 axis toolpath with the following tool axis orientation modes: Fixed, Normal to drive curves 4d/rotary axis/drive curves 5d/surfaces 5d.

BenefitsAmple opportunities for machining: turbine wheels, turbine blades, and screws, as well as various channels.High speed links.

Feature based drillingThis feature recognizes all the holes in a part and displays them on the screen and in a tree view in a convenient way. One can group holes by a type, a plane, a top or a bottom level, or a color.It stores machining sequences that once used to machine a particular hole in a database, automatically searches for similar holes in a new part and attaches appropriate sequences to them.Automatically selects the best tools to machine your holes based on the defined rules.

BenefitsDrastically simplified and speeded up the process of creating hole machining operations.Machining a part with hundreds of holes of different types is a breeze

Sawing operationSawing operation is specific designed for the fast programming of the saw blade up to the 5 axes milling machine for wood, marble, granite, stone and similar materials etc.

BenefitsAutomatically calculates the right saw incline, approaches and sawing motion

Advanced Plasma moduleSpecial operation for automatic programming plasma cutting. Selection of cutting conditions based on the thickness and physical properties of the material being processed. For multi-axis plasma machines and industrial robots.

BenefitsIntellectual toolpath

calculation

What’s New in SprutCAM v9

High speed cuttingAdvanced Roughing strategy provides dramatically faster stock removal by maintaining constant tool load with a smooth toolpath leading to reduced cycle times, improved tool life and optimum surface finish.

BenefitsConsistent Cutting ConditionsHigher Feed ratesLonger Tool and Machine LifeReduced Machining Time

ScriptingCreate custom operations with automatically selected parameters by rules (for example milling of shaped mills, multi axis laser/plasma cutting and etc.) and object access to any operation's parameters via Sprut IDE.

BenefitsCreation of unique operations of machiningOwn Integrated Development EnvironmentObject access to any operation's parametersThird-party DLL connection

Tool-axis modificationInteractive tool-axis modification possibility allows in 5D contouring operation to set the tool axis direction manually in any point of the toolpath

BenefitsManually avoiding some obstaclesOptimize the toolpath

Interactive machineEasy way to move machine nodes by mouse. It gives the way to check the tool reachability for any point of a part. With this feature it's much more comfortable to define the transitions between the operations in the hard cases.

BenefitsDrag&DropValid for the machine as well as for the robot

Multi-Core calculation*SprutCAM uses the latest technologies, including native 64-bit supportSprutCAM is designed to take advantage of the modern workstation architecture up to 64 core systems.

*for Morph operation and robot axes map building

BenefitsMulti-CPU/core support considerably speeds toolpath calculation
