madCAM 8.0 Level 4Xtra

madCAM 8.0 Level 4Xtra


Overview


madCAM Level 4Xtra
 is the 3D CAM plug-in for Rhino which gives the ability to perform both modeling and toolpath creation inside Rhino. madCAM Level 4Xtra is perfect for 3D CAM for CNC-milling machines. All menus for controlling madCAM Level 4Xtra and generated tool-paths are inside Rhino and stored together with your model. 

Developed for toolmaking (Mould And Die) as well as for prototype productions, madCAM Level 4Xtra Includes everything in madCAM 4X plus automatic 3-axis and 4-axis remachining and more. This version is aimed for the user that needs additional features for advanced 3-axis and 4-axis milling.

The extra functions needed to automatically and effectively process from a user-defined 3D stock model are added here. By automatically processing areas where there is residual material, it obtains the final finish where previous finishing operations have not reached material due to cutter size.

Included functions for removing sharp corners on the toolpath and provide a smoother motion of the machine.


Key Features and Benefits

  • Roughing - Removes all the unnecessary material from the workpiece in an effective way. madCAM Level 4Xtra cuts the part in z-levels. The operator can choose a ramp angle to create a smooth approach of the cutter after every retract and traverse.
  • Finishing - Gives the final surface finish of the part. madCAM Level 4Xtra effectively calculates cuts for both planar and z-level finishing. The operator controls the limit with an angle for relatively horizontal and relatively vertical surfaces. The limit is calculated from the surface normal.
  • Remachining - This method allows to remove material that remains where the previous cutter could not reach due to size of cutter. madCAM Level 4Xtra has strategies for removing material calculated from the true stock model, inside boundary curves and with surface dual contact (pencil trace).
  • Curve Milling - The curve milling offers opportunities for Engraving and strategies for toolpath projection inside boundary curves and between two curves.
  • 2 1/2 D Machining - This includes methods for machining from curves or surface edge curves. Profiling, Pocketing, Facing and Drilling.
