Hexagon MI Launches ALPHACAM 2021, Enhances Automation, Clamps, Nesting, Solid Machining

0

SURREY, UK, May 14, 2020 – An array of new and enhanced functionality, and seamless integration with other software packages, ensures the latest release of ALPHACAM stays at the forefront of helping manufacturers create Smart Factories, in line with Industry 4.0.

 

ALPHACAM-2021

 

Updates to the Automation Manager in ALPHACAM 2021 assist users to prepare jobs for processing as well as managing them.

Product Manager Chip Martin says the order of layers and machining styles can now be modified. “The order defined in the layer mapping setup will be used for applying the toolpaths, and users can now control the order of the toolpaths while defining how the part will be machined. However, the Machining Order option can still be used for ordering operations by tool.”

Automation Manager now shows the list of parts that could not be nested, so the operator can either cancel them or process them in a future job. An option to create a new job containing only the parts that could be nested is also available for further automation.

Enhancement to the user interface provide full control on which part properties the operator wants to see. “In previous versions, users could only see the part names, and needed to click each part individually for more information. Now they can see key details such as height, quantity, if the part is nested, and any of the part’s properties.”

The new Folder Watcher allows jobs to be processed autonomously via Automation Manager.  Chip Martin says this tool is ideal to use in both a well-established manufacturing process, as well as where orders are created through ERP software or any other system outside ALPHACAM. “It watches a folder, and as soon as an order is created, it automatically processes it using Automation Manager without the user having to do anything.”

Moving on to CAD – Geometry Node editing has been improved to allow multiple elements to be converted to a single line or arc. Prompts will also appear about node selection when two or more nodes overlap. It’s also possible now, to break and join one or multiple paths without having to leave this command, making it a more complete tool for modifying and fixing 2D geometries.

ALPHACAM’s heavy investment in machining solids directly, without the need to create geometries, has led to a major improvement regarding automation. “Previously, it’s not been possible to automate this, as the solid faces to be machined always had to be picked manually. But in the same way that geometries in layers can be machined using Machining Styles, solid model faces can now be added to layers. Machining styles are created from a variety of operations, and users can easily machine solid faces in that layer without having to manually select the faces.”

A new option to Optimize Toolpath Overlapping significantly improves material usage in nesting. It allows toolpaths around different parts to overlap, provided the tool doesn’t cause any damage. Additional distances are applied where required to protect the parts, while still allowing the toolpaths to overlap. He says the new option also brings notable nesting improvements when tools with a larger diameter are used inside the part, but a smaller tool is needed to cut the outer shape. “In earlier releases, nesting would use the largest tool to define the overlap between parts, to avoid toolpaths damaging other components. Now, the nesting engine uses the outer tool diameter to define the overlap.”

Another enhancement enables solids to be nested with their geometries. “As nesting is a 2D solution, it’s not yet possible to nest parts containing workplanes, but as solids can now be placed in the nested sheet it’s possible to machine the solid after it’s been positioned there. Toolpaths can be applied directly to the solid and solid faces and the user can even carry out another operation to extract geometries from the solids, and then machine those geometries.  It means that after nesting, it’s possible to machine geometries and solid features using more than 3-axis.”

Using a new project manager page called Clamp Insert, clamps and fixtures can be dragged and dropped into drawings, and then an XY location chosen to insert them. Once they’re in place, ALPHACAM automatically reads the material thickness and places the clamp at the correct Z level.  “It’s also possible to define if the clamp will be positioned below or if it will be holding down the material, and allows the user to rotate the clamps on insert,” says Chip Martin. He adds that this is part of a long-term project making it easier to use clamps in ALPHACAM, and that future releases will extend it to more complex clamps with several movable components, such as rails and pods.

NCSIMUL Essential has been integrated into ALPHACAM, replacing the external simulator in the router and mill modules, giving the ability to simulate 3 to 5 axis toolpaths and machines with movable clamps.

Another new innovation is Casebuilder, which is the result of a partnership with CABINET VISION. It was created specifically for small to medium-sized woodworking companies, and is used for quickly designing cabinets and case goods…and then with the click of a button processes the parts and generates NC code using ALPHACAM.

Chip Martin describes it as an easy-to-use order entry software tool for manufacturing kitchen and commercial cabinets.  “With minimal set-up users are quickly designing and sectioning cabinets, and outputting ARD files directly to ALPHACAM, for output to NC routers. Cabinets can be configured individually, including the quantity and position of doors, drawers, shelves and roll-outs, and then the system automatically generates ALPHACAM drawing files for all the components.”

Finally, another integration; this one with WORKPLAN and nesting offcuts. ALPHACAM connects directly to a WORKPLAN server and uses the materials in its database, meaning the operator knows the exact amount of material in stock to run a job, as well as making it easier to manage offcuts.

“Users reserve sheets and define which offcuts will be generated by the job. Confirmation that the job  has been processed, is done using WORKPLAN’s windows tablet application. The main material will be deducted from stock, and  the offcuts added to the database, where they’ll be available for future jobs.”

cebas Releases thinkingParticles Subscription Drop 9

0

VICTORIA, BC, Canada, May 13, 2020 – Cebas Visual Technology Inc. is pleased to announce its next major release of thinkingParticles. The release of thinkingParticles Subscription Drop 9 represents one of the biggest bug fix sweeps and workflow enhancements, yet. Overall simulation robustness, outstanding fluid solver stability and enhanced soft body dynamics offer a uniquely rounded overall Visual Effects experience for every 3ds Max user.

Besides some serious housekeeping, new advanced Visual Effects operators have been added to the tool chest. Find below a short summary of new functions and features found in thinkingParticles Subscription Drop 9.

Particle Based Fluids

The introduction of a new fluid solver: SPH VE 6.9 marks a landmark achievement for all 3ds Max users who usually experience a lack of realistic all purpose particle based SPH fluid solver options. The new algorithm creates a more stable fluid simulation with less experimentation and guesswork in parameter setup. Automatic foam generation in fluid simulations is now more predictable and accurate as it aligns with the real world phenomena of air bubbles rising to the top of the fluid surface.

Time Independent Simulation Caches

For the first time, thinkingParticles offers the concept of truly time independent simulation caches. In the past, once a simulation was cached out to a hard disk, there was not a lot of manipulation possible. thinkingParticles’ new time independent simulation caching offer ultra fast interactive timeline scrubbing and the possibility of easy particle manipulation after the fact.

Industries Workhorse Rigid Body Dynamics Solver ‘SC’

thinkingParticles unique Rigid Body visual effects solver; ShapeCollision (SC) has been brought forward to the 21st century. Using ShapeCollison within a thinkingParticles simulation is no more different than any of the other Rigid Body solvers. Rigid Body properties are no longer attached to a particle group, they are now assigned to individual particles.

ShapeCollision is a Rigid Body solver, unique to thinkingParticles and it has become the favorite go to tool for professional VFX artists. Over the last decade, ShapeCollision found its way into many movie productions like Independence Day, 2012 and the latest series of Marvel movies. ShapeCollision offers many options to optimize simulation setups. Although not known for its fastest processing speed, it is loved and used for its legendary robustness and ability to churn through highly complex, most often crappy, 3D meshes. A signature feature of ShapeCollision is its natural ability to simulate stickiness between intersecting geometry.

thinkingParticles Subscription Drop 9 comes as a free upgrade to all Subscription customers in good standing. thinkingParticles can be easily updated and downloaded through the freely available cebas Product Manager.

An extensive list of new features of thinkingParticles Subscription Drop 9 can be found at www.cebas.com/thinkingParticles.

The best thing to do is download the thinkingParticles unlimited free trial or email info@cebas.com for an educational license.

thinkingParticles 6.9 officially supports 3ds Max 2021, 2020, 2019.

About cebas Visual Technology 

The main focus of the company has always been offering optimized hard- & software solutions for graphics-intensive applications.

  4. ACIS SAT 2020

User Interface Improvements

Improvements to the interface of all release 2.1 products allow previews of tab contents before selection, saving time by preventing unneeded tabs from cluttering the workspace. When dialog boxes are open, the interface now blurs to provide enhanced visual focus for the user. Visual improvements to graphics and display include black edges on models as well as cleaner axis indicators, both of which provide a more precise visual field for the user. Further improvements provide consistent decimal precision in measurement results.

K-Compare Revision Commands Added

Improvements in K-Compare Revision have mostly focused on further increasing productivity of users during creation of reports which highlight the differences found between two 3D CAD models. Three new commands group differences together with nearby or similar differences which may be best documented together as a set. Another four new commands support sorting the order of differences by size or position on the part. New measurement tools in 2.1 allow users to add linear, radial, diameter, and coordinate measurement labels to the difference report and link them to precise locations on the 3D models. The general label object has also been enhanced to support multiple arrow leaders which can be locked onto positions on the model. The ability to insert custom watermark background image in reports has also been provided in release 2.1.

K-Compare Validate Enhancements

The 2.1 release of K-Compare Validate has added support to run the program from a command prompt allowing integration with numerous PLM and document management software from other vendors. The automated reporting capabilities now work with a user-definable template to allow users to customize the header content in the tamper-proof reports. Kubotek tests with sample user data have shown significant performance enhancements of a 15% overall faster performance than the 2.0 version, and a 70% increase in performance speeds over the now retired Kubotek Validation Tool 2019 SP1 version.

K-Display Commands Added

With release 2.1 K-Display users analyzing plastic parts can now create multiple thickness measurement labels across the part for communicating wall thickness. These labels, as well as other operations such as hide/un-hide, bounding box, and draft angle face coloring, now support database undo/redo and delete. To support popular 3D print preparation programs K-Compare Convert 2.1 adds the output capability option to save each solid in the CAD file into a separate STL file.
