FeatureCAM – 3D Solid Model Milling (Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain)

FeatureCAM is the unique CAD/CAM system that uses feature-based and knowledge-based technologies for automated machining, minimising programming times for milling machines, lathes, multi-tasking lathes, mill-turn centres and wire EDM machines.

At the CNC Machinery Solutions Training Academy we offer 4 different FeatureCAM courses - FeatureCAM 2.5D Milling, FeatureCAM 2.5D Turning, FeatureCAM 3D Solid Milling and FeatureCAM 3D Solid Turning.

Applicants must already be well versed in Engineering and able to read drawings. The level of this course is higher than the 2.5D course, therefore it is advised that the 2.5D FeatureCAM course is completed before attending this 3D Solid Milling course.

ISO Programming and a good understanding of Mathematics would be advantageous.

• Specific course content includes:
• Roughing Strategies
• Stock & Boundaries
• Leads & Ramps
• Flat Machining
• High Speed and High Efficiency Roughing
• Finishing Basics
