Delcam for SolidWorks supports both 5-axis positional (3+2) and simultaneous machining, including 5-axis drilling, trimming and swarf milling.

Benefits:
    • Produces complex parts with fewer set-ups, saving time and reducing errors
    • Increases accuracy by machining parts with shorter, more rigid, tools
    • Controls the tool axis, allowing machining of areas that cannot be machined with 3-axis strategies
    • Converts 3-axis toolpaths to their 5-axis equivalents automatically, preventing collisions between holder and part

Typical Applications:
    • Highly complex mould and die tools with undercuts
    • Very high tolerance aerospace parts
    • Turbines and stator vanes
    • Highly complex engine ports
