A Special Message from ICAM Technologies Corp.
ICAM Technologies- the Leading Provider of Multi-CAM NC Post-processing Solutions Integrated PSE- (Post-processing-Simulation-Emulation) is a new NC manufacturing methodology that allows for interactive post-processing, machine simulation and control emulation within integrated software solution

Post-processing
CAM-POST ® is an NC post-processing development and deployment software supporting all major CAD / CAM / PLM systems, CNC controllers and machine tools. Advanced forward-looking optimization features are offered in CAM-POST including path planning, rotary axes pre-positioning and winding to optimize the machining process while avoiding dwell marks, over-travel and rotary repositioning. CAM-POST also supports advanced machine tool features such as tool-tip programming, coordinate frame transformations, NURBS interpolation and arc fitting of point-to-point data. |

Simulation
Virtual Machine® is a comprehensive CNC machine tool simulator that enables NC programmers to graphically simulate and test programs, easily and automatically, against collisions and over-travel. Deploying Virtual Machine with CAM-POST provides an interactive post-processing and simulation environment that allows modeling of the physical CNC machine and detection of errors while CAM-POST calculates alternative options to optimize the generated NC code. |

Emulation
Control EmulatorTM (CE) is a new software product allowing NC programmers to simulate and test NC programs using Machine Code Data (MCD) within Virtual Machine and / or CATIA / DELMIA. Implementing Virtual Machine with CE allows NC programmers and machine operators to emulate and simulate the final MCD before running the NC program on the actual NC machine. This process enables the user to avoid costly prove-outs and reduce scrap material while increasing machine utilization on the shop floor. |

ICAM Introduces SmartPATH for dynamic toolpath optimization -
ICAM's SmartPATHTM is unique software designed to automatically optimize machine tool motions and positions based on standard toolpaths generated by CAD/CAM systems.

On average, customers can expect up to 35% reduction in RAPID motion time.
RAPID positioning motions generated by CAD/CAM software do not take into account machine tool kinematics, workpiece setup and travel limitations and therefore, they are often unsafe and inefficient.
SmartPATHTM, however, identifies non-optimized and unsafe positioning motions and automatically replaces them with minimized safe motions based on actual machine tool kinematics, physical travel limits, axes positioning rates and the dynamically changing in-process stock.
ICAM develops NC post-processing products & services, designed to suit every need & budget. ICAM products include: CAM-POST®, Virtual Machine® and Control EmulatorTM.
ICAM Introduces Integrated PSE -
Find out about Integrated PSE (Post-processing - Simulation - Emulation) - ICAM's new NC manufacturing methodology that allows for interactive post-processing, machine simulation and control emulation within a tightly integrated software solution.
ICAM's Solutions for Complex UHF Systems. -
ICAM successfully implemented its integrated Post-processing & Machine Simulation Solution for different types of UHF systems around the world - some with actuator systems (cylinders going up and down with air vacuum system) as well as 3D clamps used to hold the side of sheet metal or composite sheets.
ICAM and CNC Software Inc. have signed a Business Partner Agreement allowing for a smoother integration between their two distinctive products. Under this agreement, ICAM has created a graphical user interface to its complete NC post-processing product suite within Mastercam.

Omax, ICAM Collaborate on CAM Interfaces
Omax (Kent, Washington) and ICAM Technologies Corporation (Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec, Canada) are working together to provide NC post-processing software that easily connects Omax and Maxiem waterjet machines with all major CAD/CAM systems, including CATIA, ProE, Siemens NX and Mastercam. According to the companies, combining Omax’s Intelli-Max waterjet control software with ICAM’s NC post-processors will enable users to benefit from the sophisticated features common to high-end 3D CAD/CAM packages.
Software Supports Material Removal Capabilities
ICAM Technologies Corporation’s Virtual Machine V18 supports material removal and verification capabilities for in-process stock collision and gouge detection within a simulated machining environment. Implementing the software with CAM-Post, the company’s NC post-processing development and deployment product, provides a graphical NC post-processing and machine simulation workbench to test programs during post-processing.
Integrated Post-Processing, Simulation, Emulation
Integrated post-processing, simulation and emulation (PSE) is an NC manufacturing methodology from ICAM that includes the company’s CAM-Post, Virtual Machine and Control Emulator. CAM-Post is an independent, single-source NC post-processing development and deployment software product that supports virtually all major CAD/CAM/PLM systems, CNCs and machine tools, the company says. Advanced forward-looking optimization features such as path planning, rotary axes pre-positioning and winding are said to optimize the machining process while avoiding dwell marks, over-travel and rotary repositioning.

Bridging The Gap Between CAD And CNC
The postprocessor is the last software link between an ideal CAD model and a "real" machined part. To what degree the postprocessor can take advantage of a CNC's capabilities, and vice versa, determines the number of available programming options and degree of programming difficulty. CNC/postprocessor rapport is particularly important for high speed machining (HSM).
