The Realization of Numerical Control Machining of 2D Parts Based on MasterCam FBM

Apply the function of FBM Mill and FBM Drill built in MasterCam to achieve the automatic NC programming and machining of solid parts.The feature modeling of parts is produced in Solidworks, and then converted to MasterCam. After the stock size of parts and FBM parameters are set, the features of parts are recognized automatically; and all of the 2D toolpaths of parts are automatically generated in a specified machine. Finally, the automatically generated NC toolpaths based on features are verified by simulating. FBM technology is adopted to eliminate the manual processes involved in identifying features for programming milling and drilling operations on solid parts, thus greatly increasing the efficiency and flexibility of programming, which is an effective method of achieving automatic NC programming.
