ICAM V23
ICAM Releases the Latest Version of its Post-Processing Simulation Solution
The ICAM V23 product suite provides a seamless, all-in-one environment where post-processing, machine simulation, and rapid positioning tool-path optimization are seamlessly integrated. This innovative approach enables users to evaluate in-process feedback from the post-processor and machining simulator, automatically generating optimized NC programs tailored to specific CNC machines.
By consolidating these functions into a single step and process, ICAM V23 empowers CAD/CAM users to significantly reduce NC programming and machining cycle times. The result is a more efficient workflow, enhanced productivity, and improved machining accuracy.
Key Features of ICAM V23:
Integrated Platform: Combines post-processing, simulation, and optimization into one cohesive environment.Automated NC Program Optimization: Leverages real-time feedback to create optimized NC programs for any CNC machine.Reduced Cycle Times: Streamlines workflows to minimize NC programming and machining durations.Enhanced Efficiency: Delivers a faster, more accurate process for CAD/CAM users.
With ICAM V23, manufacturers can achieve higher levels of precision and productivity, ensuring their CNC machining operations are optimized for peak performance. This release reaffirms ICAM Technologies Corporation’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the manufacturing industry.
Upgrade to ICAM V23 today and experience the future of integrated post-processing, simulation, and optimization.
Primarily benefiting customers with developer’s licenses, ICAM V23 promises to deliver advanced new features that help programmers create optimized NC programs for any machine kinematics. Some new features offered in V23 include:
Customer User Experience. Advancements to the user experience including a new Customer Portal HelpDesk ticketing system. These are designed to improve communication and resolution of product issues and enhancement requests.
Additive Manufacturing. Ability to now simulate pure additive or hybrid additive machines within ICAM’s machine simulator, Virtual Machine™. New linearization mode has also been developed to reduce or avoid excess material deposits caused by momentary pauses in tool motions.
Mill-turn and Merging Lathe. A large emphasis of V23 was focused on improving the ability to support mill-turn machines. New questions and logic to better support CSS controlling head. New threading cycle questions now support CNC threading cycles. Simplification of the THREAD command to improve threading generation and simulation.
G-Code Decimals. Built-in support of decimal G and M codes makes it much simpler to develop post-processors for machines that use these non-standard codes (e.g., G43.4). All G and M code related post-processor commands were enhanced to support decimal codes.
About ICAM Technologies Corporation
ICAM Technologies specializes in the development and implementation of advanced NC post-processing and machine tool simulation solutions for manufacturers in major industries around the world. Since 1971, ICAM has been providing aerospace, automotive, medical, heavy equipment and electronic organizations with advanced NC post-processing solutions that have enabled them to increase productivity and achieve greater manufacturing performance and precision.
The evolution of ICAM’s products led to a brand new manufacturing methodology coined Adaptive Post-Processing. As opposed to traditional manufacturing methods, where machine simulation and optimization is done sequentially after post-processing, Adaptive Post-Processing provides a unique environment where post-processing, machine simulation and optimization is done in a single concurrent operation; thereby, significantly reducing programming and machine cycle time.
