5X Production

5X Production

Create finishing toolpaths on multiple surfaces for 5-axis machining.

This procedure supports 3 - 5 axis machining with a wide variety of machining strategies and cutters (including Lollipop and Slot Mill). You have full control over the cutter orientation and over the behavior between cutting motions. Up to four sets of check faces can be used, each with a different offset and a different response when a theoretical path gouges it. Defining machine limits and other machine properties are also available.

Multiple layers (based on 3D offsets) can be used, combined with gouge check and control and the use of drive surfaces allows roughing in 4 / 5X machining for special cases such as turbine blades machining.

To use all the features of the 5X Production> procedure, a license is required. This license includes the use of Slot Mill and Lollipop cutters. Please contact your Cimatron Provider for more information. If you do not have a license, you will not be able to create, edit, or execute a 5X Aerospace procedure.
