    Machining from Solids Introduction with SmartCAM V16.0
    Two new processes for automated toolpath generation directly from a solid model are introduced in SmartCAM. (5 minutes, 23 seconds)


    Verification & Usability with SmartCAM V16.0 and V16.5

    Improvements to Showpath and ShowCut with SmartCAM V16.0
    SmartCAM V16.0 includes many new enhancements that provide better and easier toolpath model verification in both Showpath toolpath simulation and ShowCut material removal animation. (5 minutes, 45 seconds)

    Showpath and ShowCut Toolpath Simulation with SmartCAM V16.5
    Showpath toolpath simulation and ShowCut material removal animation is now included with all SmartCAM applications. This video demonstrates these verifcation tools in SmartCAM Advanced Turning (3 minutes, 0 seconds) Solid Model Interrogation with SmartCAM V16.5
    This video demondstates how SmartCAM provides a variety of functionality to make it even easier to position geometry, tooling and fixturing and to interrogate model dimensions in 3D space. (6 minutes, 8 seconds)

    Machining Solids with SmartCAM Advanced Turning V16.5
    New solid machining functionality in SmartCAM Advanced Turning v16.5 allows roughing and finishing toolpaths to be created directly from the surfaces of solid model features, including automatic part profile generation, part profile extensions, linear and contour roughing, profile finishing, and groove roughing and finishing.

    Machining on Solid Model Features
    This video demonstrates creating roughing and finishing toolpaths directly on solid model features, without the need to extract wireframe geometry from the model
    (6 minutes, 54 seconds)

    Grooving Solid Model Features
    This video demonstrates creating roughing and finishing toolpaths directly on solid model grooving features, without the need to extract wireframe geometry from the model
