What's new in the Turn-Mill technology in the version 16 of Fikus Visualcam
Here is the list of the major developments in the technology of Turn & Mill in Fikus Visualcam 16.
All the improvements in Simulation and Tool Table apply to the Milling technology as well.
All the improvements in Milling and Lathe
In general, all the improvements for milling and lathe have also been incorporated to the Turn-Mill technology.
See the improvements in Milling
Machine selection when creating a Turn-Mill toolpath
When creating a new Turn-Mill toolpath, it is now necessary to select the appropriate machine model in order to get the correct tool data and enable the corresponding Gantt function.
Specific Gantt function for every machine model
New Gantt functions are dedicated for specific machine models, thus allowing to incorporate the machine specific features and optimize the G-Code.
The Lathe Wizard generates a predefined machining structure (Lathe - Milling - Lathe - Milling)
The Lathe Wizard now creates a default structure that first generates the lathe processes and the milling processes for the first chuck. This is followed by the cut-off and continues to make the lathe and milling processes for the second chuck.
Symmetry about the rotating axis
New option to perform geometric transformations of a group by symmetry about the rotational axis.
