3D IMPORT WITH 3D DXF TECHNOLOGY

Go from "solid to part" seamlessly. Eliminate extra steps. The newest control feature from Hurco is the skills gap buster shops need.

Solid Model Import allows you to import a customer's 3D solid model in .stp file format into the control system. This feature is particularly beneficial for 5-sided programming as it automatically generates the necessary transform planes. These transform planes serve as the fundamental building blocks that facilitate easy 5-sided programming in Hurco machines.

For all Hurco CNC machines, the ability to import stp files and selectively choose specific features to be machined significantly enhances productivity. For instance, you can easily select the floor of a pocket and identify the top of the pocket. The model will automatically provide the pocket depth, eliminating the need for manual input. After selecting a tool and verifying speeds and feeds, you can commence the machining process without any further delay.

Benefits of Solid Model Import:

  • Simplified programming: The feature streamlines the programming process, making it more efficient and less complex.
  • Time-saving: By eliminating the need to manually enter feature dimensions, Solid Model Import saves valuable time.
  • Preservation of accuracy: The imported solid model ensures that the machining process maintains a high level of precision.
  • Click-and-cut operation: Instead of inputting dimensions, you can simply click on the desired features and proceed with cutting.
  • Automatic creation of transform planes: The system generates transform planes automatically, easing the process of 5-sided conversational programming without requiring manual data entry.

3D Import

New Feature

SOLID MODEL IMPORT

With Solid Model Import you can take a customer's 3D solid model (.stp file) and import it into the control. For 5-sided programming, Solid Model Import is extremely powerful because it automatically creates the transform planes. The Transform Planes are the foundation of how Hurco makes 5-sided programming easy.

For all Hurco CNC machines, the ability to import stp files and select specific features to be machined significantly increases productivity. For example, if you select the floor of a pocket, and then identify the top of the pocket. The pocket depth will automatically be pulled from the model. Then you just pick a tool, verify your speeds and feeds, and you're ready to start making chips.

Benefits
  • Simplifies programming. Saves time. Preserves accuracy.
  • No need to enter feature dimensions – simply click and cut
  • Transform Planes are created automatically for easy 5-sided conversational programming – no data entry required

No need to teach the control the path the tool takes when retracting and returning to the part –the Hurco control does it for you. When you press the Interrupt button, the spindle stops cutting, the coolant shuts off, and the tool automatically retracts to Z home. You can jog the machine in any direction to check the part or change tool inserts. Then, simply press two buttons and the cycle automatically resumes right where it left off–at the speed you choose.

Description: Essentially changes programming on a 5-axis machining center back to 2.5D programming that you would use on your 3-axis machine. You don’t need to worry about the tilting or rotating. You define your part origin one time and Transform Plane manages all of the other part origin locations.

  • Transform Plane makes the transition to 5-sided easy. Simply establish the initial part origin and program the first side of the part. Then, tell the control the axis angle(s) to the next side.
  • Program the features on that side of the part and tell the control the axis angle(s) to the next side.
  • Follow the same steps for each side of the part, and Transform Plane figures out the tilting and rotating required.
