About this course This tutorial illustrates machining of an extruder using SolidCAM’s Rotary Machining technology. Once you have developed a good foundation in basic skills, you can refer to the online help for information on the less frequently used options. Prerequisites Students attending this course are expected to have basic knowledge of the SolidCAM software. Course design This course is designed around a task-based approach to training. The guided exercises will teach you the necessary commands and options to complete a machining task. The theoretical explanations are embedded into these exercises to give an overview of machining an extruder. Using this book This tutorial is intended to be used in a classroom environment under the guidance of an experienced instructor. It is also intended to be a self-study tutorial.

1. Introduction

Rotary Machining The rotary machining operation is designed to generate rotary tool path to mill parts on a 4-axis machine. It can be used to mill cylindrical parts like bottle molds and core, electrodes, and wood work. The tool paths are directly calculated on 3D geometry and not wrapped around. In this tutorial, you will use rotary machining as it has certain advantages over regular 4-axis machining. Firstly, in 4-axis machining, you require a dummy surface to project the actual surfaces to be machined. Secondly, in 4-axis machining, the tool axis is normal to the surface to be machined. Whereas in rotary machining, the tool axis is normal to the surface to be projected, resulting in not using the tool tip as it has 0 RPM that creates a rubbing effect and does not cut the material effectively. Thirdly, rotary machining is very effective in machining parts that have surfaces which are not meant to be used for morphed or flow line machining.
