MecSoft Corporation has recently released CAMJam 2015 MILL, a video training tool to accompany VisualCAM and RhinoCAM milling software.
VisualCAM is MecSoft's flagship CAM product. Paired with VisualCAD, VisualCAM is part of MecSoft's CAD/CAM package offering. VisualCAM targets the CNC machining market and it includes modules VisualMILL, VisualTURN, VisualNEST and VisualART to address more specialized manufacturing needs.
RhinoCAM is a CAM plug-in for CNC that runs within Rhinoceros 5.0. It's a general-purpose program that's aimed at general machinists. RhinoCAM combines Rhino's freeform modeling with the machining capabilities of VisualCAM, allowing for free-form surface machining. Like VisualCAM, it includes modules for MILL, TURN, NEST and VisualART.
MecSoft's 2015 versions of its milling modules have new toolpath strategies, hole feature recognition for "push-button" CNC programming and numerous other interface enhancements.
CAMJam 2015 offers a complete unscripted video archive of training sessions conducted by MecSoft support staff. It's intended to help both new and experienced users get the most out of their CAM software.
It contains more than 80 instructional videos that cover every aspect of the 2015 MILL module. CAMJam 2015 also features a help platform so the videos are easy to search and retrieve. The training sessions are also organized by content and are fully indexed and searchable.
CAMJam includes all the source part files that are referenced by the video archive. The tool also contains an 1,800-page digital PDF version of the 2015 MILL Reference Guide.
In addition to the instructional videos, CAMJam also includes a full-length training session for new users.
Some of the topics covered by this instructional tool are a full set of machining strategies for two-, three-, four- and five-axis machining, how to implement custom tool libraries and machining knowledge bases and how to use regions and control geometry effectively in 2.5- and three-axis machining.
