3D CAD skills: use 3D STL files to improve efficiency
As a cost-effective CAD/CAM integrated solution, Zhongwang 3D can help enterprises realize the seamless connection between CAD design and CAM processing. This 3D CAD tutorial is to share with you how to use STL file input in Zhongwang 3D. To improve the efficiency of CAD/CAM programming, the specific 3D CAD/CAM operations are as follows:
At present, the method of checking the cut in Zhongwang 3D is to view the entity simulation result by “Output→Simulation→Start Simulationâ€, click the “Options†button in the lower left corner of the interface, select “Analyzeâ€, and analyze the overcut with color. Root cut.
figure 1
The overcut check is only one of the functions of the solid simulation result. We can also output the simulation result as an STL file for the back roughing blank. Figure 2 The boundary line between the front and the back of the case part is not flat. It is not convenient to manually judge the blank on the back. The blank calculated automatically by our software can avoid the empty knife when the back is thick and optimize the next clamp. The knife path.
As shown in the figure, after selecting the save location, click “Apply†to output the STL file.

Create a new "object", import the STL file just output; transfer this object to the CAM environment, "Processing Settings → Geometry → Select the newly created object". The category that is called in by default is "Parts", right-click and select "Edit Category" to change the category to blank.

When starting the cutting path of the back roughing process, the feature selection is still the original part, and the blank is selected from the STL file we just transferred, and the tool path is as follows:

As can be seen from the above figure, using the STL file output by the solid simulation as a blank can improve the programming efficiency and reduce the risk of human error.
Through the above examples, the CAD/CAM function of Zhongwang 3D can effectively improve the CAD design work efficiency of engineers in the actual 3D CAD design and CAM processing.
