BretonSmartCam MODELLING: Software CAD/CAM for 5 axis bridge saw

BretonSmartCam MODELLING software for the drawing and programming (CAD/CAM) of shaping and cutting centres with up to 5 interpolated axes.
The CAM module allows to carry out the following major functions:
- cutting of slabs with saw blade
- profiling, rough-hewing, trimming and exterior/interior shaping of small blocks with saw blade.

- shaping, profiling, hole drilling, milling and hollowing out with millers or shaped tools

- polishing of tops (even inclined tops)

- 3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts

- bas-reliefs imported from digitized surfaces

- machining of surfaces and solids with saw blade
- machining of 3D curves, surfaces and solids with conventional tools, up to 5 interpolated axes
If paired with the "BretonLathe" optional module, the software allows to carry out machining jobs with up to 6 interpolated axes. 

The CAD module allows to carry out the following major functions: 

- generation of 2D drawings with relevant dimensions.

- determination of the 3D working volume of the piece.

 - determination of any working plane inside the generated 3D volume.

- management of a 2D drawing created on the selected working plane, no matter how it is oriented in the space.

 - import of drawings in DXF and DWG format from external CAD or template detectors.

- positioning of the pieces to be produced directly on the image of the slab, so as to utilize its surface to the full.

- automatic programming and display of the vacuum cup arrangement on the worktable.

- interface with the software of a possible laser projector for arranging the vacuum cups on the worktable.
- interface with the software of a possible bas-relief digitizer.

- generation of 3D models of the pieces.

 - import of surfaces and solid models in IGES, STL, STEP and 3DM format.

 - generation of surfaces and bas-reliefs from image processing.
- generation of 2D drawings of vanity and kitchen tops, whose dimensions are set starting from a basic template.

The 3D SOLID SIMULATION module allows:

- to check any possible tool-piece and/or tool-machine collision

- to assess the raw material remaining after the machining

The software operates in a Windows environment, is intuitive and user-friendly.

N.B. The software features may be limited by the technological and operational characteristics of the machine.N.B.The utilization of this software requires an experienced operator who has a good knowledge of 3D modelling.

BretonSmartCam FRAME: Software CAD/CAM for 5 axis bridge saw

BretonSmartCam FRAME software for the drawing and programming (CAD/CAM) of shaping and cutting centres with up to 5 axes. 

The CAM module allows to carry out the following major functions on work planes with indexed rotary axes: 

- cutting of slabs with saw blade

- profiling, rough-hewing, trimming and exterior/interior shaping of small blocks with saw blade.

- 3D engraving of Windows "True Type" fonts on flat surfaces.

 

- shaping, profiling, hole drilling, milling and hollowing out with millers or shaped tools.

If paired with the "BretonLathe" optional module, the software also allows:
- to grind a twisted groove on columns generated by the revolution of a 2D profile and finish them, using a saw blade.

 

The CAD module allows to carry out the following major functions:

Smart-Cut S/NC 550 in action

Hello,

Today I’d like to show you the Smart-Cut S/NC 550 while performing a profile machining.

As you can see looking at the picture here below, the finish degree achieved by the Smart-Cut S/NC 550 provided with a finger bit is really outstanding.
