DOLPHIN 3DCAM - MILLING FEATURES

back to 3D CAM Overview go to 3D CAM Simulation

Dolphin 3DCAM is one of the most powerful 3D machining packages on the market but it is both easy to use and fast to learn - important points for busy manufactures in today's highly competitive market.   

CONNECTIONS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD

One of the most important features of any 3D machining program is the ability to connect to a wide range of CAD products, thus enabling quick and easy import of base models. Dolphin 3DCAM is ideally equipped in this respect with built-in interfaces for the following formats:

IGES - DXF - STL - VRML - Postscript - 3DM (Rhino models)

 

A wide range of features enable you to manipulate the model prior to machining. These include Transform, Rotate, Scale etc. The powerful Model Tree allows you to access different areas of the model. This is useful in selecting contours, curves and other model elements so that they can be deleted, hidden, copied or otherwise manipulated.
