Why choose QuickCam?
We know what it’s like. You’re up against a tight production schedule, you’re running a standard solid carbide tool in a generic tool holder and the tool path you’ve programmed isn’t quite cutting it.
Most operators can generate a CAM file that represents a tool path but they won’t always take account of a particular machine’s behaviour or the unknown variables of workholding and other factors. If all variables are not optimised – cutting tool, machine, tool holder, material, workholder and component – the best case scenario is poor performance and an inferior part. Much worse, operators run the risk of seriously damaging the machine tool itself. A digitised tool path offers limited value without the simulations and verification to back it up, particularly if the operator is unable to interpret the data and they go ahead with the incorrect strategy regardless.
