ICAM- TopSolid.

Integrated Post-Processing & Machine Simulation

The sharing of technical knowledge and other resources will allow ICAM to develop certified TopSolid’Cam post-processors with CAM-POST that will ultimately enable end-users to maximize their machine tool investments.

TopSolid'Cam offers a unique CAD / CAM solution capable of supporting tool path programming for turning, milling as well as complex Mill / Turn applications, including 5-axes contouring and merging lathes.

ICAM Technologies Corporation and Missler Software are pleased to announce that they have entered into a Marketing Agreement that will provide ICAM access to TopSolid’Cam’s software architecture in order to develop post-processors using CAM-POST, ICAM’s post-processor development product, for lathe, mill and Mill/Turn machines for TopSolid’Cam’s worldwide customer base.

This newly formed relationship will allow customers to benefit from ICAM’s extensive NC post-processing experience with advanced multi-axes machining applications and techniques such as path planning, high-speed machining, tool-tip programming, coordinate frame transformations, NURBS interpolation and arc fitting of point-to-point data.

Additionally, deploying Virtual Machine^® as an integrated productivity tool to ICAM's NC post-processing technology, delivers a powerful machine tool simulation environment that enables TopSolid'Cam end-users to optimize and test NC programs against collisions and over-travel automatically during post-processing.
