CAM software offers updated knowledge-based machining library

SmartCAMcnc has announced the release of SmartCAM® v2016, which features an updated knowledge-based machining (KBM) library, as well as improvements to the user interface and to the core milling functionality.

The SmartCAM software family comprises applications for CNC milling, turning, fabrication, and wire EDM.

The improved KBM library supports the storing and reuse of tooling and operation settings, increasing the efficiency with which new programs can be created using repeatable processes. Jobs that use library definitions can be updated quickly to the most current definitions.

The user interface’s list view now displays model data in a tree structure that is expandable and collapsible. CAD and CAM model elements can be shown using this hierarchical list, with as much or little detail of the model as needed.
