CAD/CAM/OLP developer SprutCAM Tech is releasing the 17.0.10 update for SprutCAM X, the company’s all-in-one CAD/CAM/OLP software suite for complex and creative robot tasks. This update introduces enhanced functionalities, bug fixes and improvements designed to streamline the user experience.
SprutCAM X is an offline robot programming workflow that demonstrates machine-aware programming, obviating the requirement for repetitive reprogramming and re-verification cycles; SprutCAM cites a 50% reduction in programming time compared to traditional CAM workflows.
A key enhancement in SprutCAM X and SprutCAM X Robot 17.0.10 is the Collision Avoidance option, which now features an updated calculation algorithm. SprutCAM X excels in finding safe tool approach and return paths even in complex machining environments. Additionally, the updated software prioritizes user convenience with several updates:
- Added tool axis orientation along the normal to the base surface in the Pocketing operation.
- Organized list of post-processors in the control program creation window.
- Support for non-milling tools for milling machines in MachineMaker.
- Warning when clicking “clear all” in the Snapshots Manager window.
- Arc interpolation to the Area Cladding operation.
Some notable bug fixes that have been implemented include:
- Resolved errors when adding a new robot and when working with templates in MachineMaker.
- Fixed critical and visualization errors related to drawing modes and 3D models.
- Addressed a bug with the Collision Avoidance option.
- Fixed bugs related to inch and metric measurement systems.
- Resolved issues with importing and viewing 3D models from SolidWorks, IronCAD and Inventor.
In this release, SprutCAM X has incorporated a total of 123 changes. Users with an active maintenance software contract have already received notifications for the new release and can proceed with the upgrade.
