SOLIDCAM - Introduction to Mill Turning

This webinar is for anyone who is using or just curious about how to program Mill Turn machines. Starting at simple principles of Turning and Milling on a single turret, single spindle machine. We will then move on to use multi spindles, multiple turrets and finally B axis spindles.

This will give you a great insight into how you should tackle your first or 1000th Mill Turn program. As well as all the customisation that can make life easier when programming a complex machine.

Intricate Pattern Design - With SOLIDWORKS & 3DEXPERIENCE

Have you ever tried to create a highly variable pattern on a completely freeform shape in SOLIDWORKS? Well, we wouldn’t recommend it. Specialised workflows require specialised tools, and when it comes to designing amazing patterns, nothing can beat the 3D Pattern Shape Creator role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Utilising a cutting-edge computational design method, the xGenerative Design app, you can produce detailed designs even on the most complex shapes. Best of all, rebuild times are lightning fast and your designs will be impervious to design changes as they can easily adapt to the most extreme changes.

Learn how you can take your product design to the next level of detail while conforming to design restraints and producing high-quality geometry fit for any downstream design or manufacturing needs.

6 Golden Rules of Managing SOLIDWORKS Files

Our first in a series of 'On-Demand' webinars looking at file management of your SOLIDWORKS data. When modelling in SOLIDWORKS, before you know it, you will have created lots of parts, assembly and drawing files, so it’s important to think about how you will manage these files and keep everything organised. In this webinar we will discuss the ‘6 Golden Rules’ of managing your SOLIDWORKS files using Windows Explorer and recommended methods for file naming, structuring your projects and managing revisions

What does a Professional CAD Data Management System look like?

Our second instalment in a series of 'On-Demand' webinars looking at file management of your SOLIDWORKS CAD data. Managing your SOLIDWORKS files/data manually using Windows Explorer can be done, but it does have its limitations. As products develop, assemblies become larger with more and more complex data sets. There is no fixed marker of when you should look to implement more secure and professional management systems, some say from the start, but there are indicators.
