Full Cloud CAM App - OnCreate3D

Whats new in OnCreate3D

April Deployment of OnCreate3D, First Full Cloud CAM App, (www.OnCreate3D.com) added Stock definition, editing and using the Stock for roughing toolpath operations. May 01, deployment has added many interesting features that will make OnCreate3D more user friendly. First important one is the part orientation followed by WCS definition. CAD modelers may have different default orientation that may not match orientation for machining in OnCreate3D. Users can now rotate imported CAD geometry around X, Y or Z axis to orient part properly within OnCreate3D. User can also define WCS with respect to part bounding box.



Second important feature is the facility to Edit existing toolpath operation. Users can right click on toolpath operation in tree view to edit the already create toolpath. When user changes some parameters in toolpath dialog box and clicks OK, the toolpath is re-created and displayed to user again.



Third important feature is to share project along with toolpath operations and NC File to other users already registered with OnCreate3D. When you have spent considerable time creating toolpaths that will machine a part correctly, you can simply share your project with other users, so they save valuable time. A machinist can create toolpath operations in his office and then shares project with operator or manager at shop floor. operator just downloads NC File and start cutting the job. User can give Read, write or copy permissions to other users.



We are adding many more features in months to come. Stay tuned with us and make the MOST OF FREE BETA version until June 2017. You can subscribe to OnCreate3D by clicking sign-up button at www.OnCreate3D.com.

How is the machine topology defined? Is it fixed as a conventional 3-axis milling machine or can users edit the machine definition, for example to add a 4th axis and define it's orientation on the bed?

Currently, conventional machine i.e. VMC is assumed. We are working on machine definition and orientation to give flexibility to users. Rotary will be introduced after Beta completion. Regards.
