SolidCAM is exceptionally strong in “tombstone” machining and is considered to be an industry leader in this type of machining. This can be a very important function in production machining. Parts can be placed anywhere on the “tombstone.” A home position is automatically determined. One can machine multiple copies of the same part on a single face of the “tombstone” or different machining setups for a given part can be placed on a “tombstone.” Both 2D and 3D milling can be performed on the same or multiple parts. Indexing to turn the “tombstone” is performed automatically. SolidCAM offers powerful simulation capabilities to check and control all your operations on the machine and outputs ready-to-go G-code.
