By following the shape of the part and not the stock, there will be much more reposition moves, than what is found in iMachining. Usage in SolidCam - Select Mach34XY for CNC-Machine Mach3 setup: Config > General Config - tick A-axis is angular, set IJ mode to incremental, uncheck all in Rotational, possibly also check G04 dwell in ms Config > Toolpath - Check Y-axis for axis of rotation and enable A-rotations. The iMachining toolpath is designed to keep the cutter at maximum. According to SolidCAM, iMachining achieves short cycle times regardless of industry, material or machine. CAM users can insert iMachining 2D and 3D operations directly inside NX CAM, using all NX functionality. SolidCAM is the manufacturing suite for easiest, fastest, most efficient CNC (computer numerical control) simulation and programming facility that can be done directly inside SolidWorks.
Volumill will look more similar to a normal "offset driven toolpath", as it generally follows the shape of the part, not the shape of the stock. SolidCAM ’s iMachining technology is now available for Siemens NX. Click on the Mill-Inch (Default) and hit Copy. Go to your Tools menu in SOLIDWORKS, slide across over to the SOLIDWORKS CAM menu and click on Technology Database. Speaking of which, get that bad boy fired up, it’s time to start dialing things in. SolidCAM is the manufacturing suite for easiest, fastest, most efficient CNC (computer numerical control) simulation and programming facility that can be. We’ll need these to customize your Technology Database. Volumill is not exactly an "engagement driven toolpath", as they create toolpath which is "semi-constant 3D stepover" with "special corner treatment with parallel arcs" SolidCAM is a popular add-in of SolidWorks. Some additional points about Volumill vs iMachining: Most important is that Volumill is a " Roughing only toolpath".
