ProCAM II simplifies the process of taking parts from design to manufacturing.

The user-friendly interface and CAD tools allow parts to be modeled quickly and easily. ProCAM II provides flexibility for machining solid, wireframe and surface models that have been created using ProCAM's CAD tools or imported using ProCAM’s translators for popular file formats such as ACIS, IGES, Parasolid, DWG and DXF.

The ProCAM suite of CAM products can increase productivity, ease overworked programming departments and generate more consistent and reliable manufacturing code. Virtually any CNC machining operation is supported, including 2 to 5 axis machining centers, and multi-axis lathes.

With the Solids Machining option, ProCAM II becomes a state-of-the-art intelligent CAM solution using Automatic Feature Recognition coupled with knowledge based machining technology to further automate the programming process.

ProCAM II is available in a variety of configurations, so you can purchase exactly what you need now and add to your system as your business grows: modules include Wireframe and Surface Modeling; 2.5 Axis Milling; Multi-Surface Machining and Solids Machining (Milling and Turning.)
 

• User defined coordinates allow the user to move the zero point to the dimension datum of each construction view and work in a horizontal/vertical (X,Y) frame of reference.
• Enhanced accurate picking feature.
• All CAD and CAM entities can be scaled, translated, mirrored and rotated. CAD entities can be trimmed, segmented, filleted, chamfered, and extended.
• Dimensioning supports aligned and uni-directional linear dimensions, as well as ordinate, baseline, datum, diametric, and radial dimensions.
• Support for English and metric units, fractions and other dimensioning styles.

• Supports multiple surface creation methods: swept, ruled, plane, offset, surface of revolution, four-curve (Coon's patch), three-curve, constant and variable radius fillet, complex surface and two-surface blend.
• Provides tools for easy manipulation of surfaces, either as a single surface or a combination.
• Projects 2D or 3D entities onto any surface for engraving and free form cutting.
• Supports the calculation of an infinite number of surface intersections.
• Separates the core and cavity on parts designed with thickness included.
• Interfaces with Open GL graphics cards for interactively generating high speed, high quality surface shading. Allows dynamic pan, zoom and rotate of shaded models.

• Multi-plane machining allows easy implementation of tombstone work.
• Subroutines; fixture, work coordinate, and work and sub coordinates offsets.
• Horizontal milling machine viewing option.

• Tree-based operations management includes moving, copying, saving and inserting repetitive operations.
• Tool Library representing all the tools in your current inventory. Define tools only once, not at every turret change.
• Fast, fully integrated material cutting simulation uses a solid model to display material removal process and compare work in process and part model.
• Integrated Feed/Speed Library has modifiable database containing over 1.7 million feed/speed combinations representing over 1100 materials. Calculates feeds and speeds automatically.

• Can be modified to stay contained within an area or to avoid an area.
• Provide interactive methods for defining contain and avoid areas.
• Can optionally machine over avoid areas.
• Can generate high-speed toolpaths with no sharp corners.
• Can generate toolpaths with ball, flat, hog nose, tapered ball, tapered flat, or tapered hog nose tools.
• Allow user defined start and end Z depths.
• Support slope containment (except Rough and Finish Flats cycles).
• Advanced Roughing and Z-Level include an option to avoid small pockets.
• Advanced Slice includes Planar slice cutting options for cross machining and up and down milling.
• Advanced Pencil Mill generates toolpaths to finish machine corner areas using a single pass or multiple constant stepover passes.

• Finish Rest machining allows a finish cutting cycle to be generated on areas where the part is uncut. Toolpaths can be generated where material is left either by a previous tool or by previous operations (Work in Process)
• Rough Rest machining allows a rough cutting cycle to be made on part areas where material was left from selected previous cycles.
• The Constant Offset Cut cycle removes material by maintaining a constant user-defined stepover relative to the surface. This cycle generates a semi-finish or finish toolpath with a true constant stepover regardless of the slope being machined.
• The Advanced Curve Projection Cut cycle removes material by projecting cross section entities onto the surface and generating toolpaths along the projected entities.
• The Finish Flats Cut cycle uses a roughing pattern to remove material on flat faces.

• When you are using SolidWorks, the CAMWorks machining tree and commands are available with the click of a button. You never have to leave SolidWorks to generate toolpaths.
• CAMWorks uses the same SolidWorks geometry to generate toolpaths to ensure the part you machine is the same part you have modeled.
• Time-consuming file transfers using standard file formats such as IGES and SAT are eliminated.
