When bar stock is used, AFR generates a cutoff feature on the opposite side of the face feature.AFR recognizes features on native solid models or on solid parts imported via IGES, SAT, etc.CAMWorks, incorporates Machining Intelligence for Automation, a suite of tools that automate Feature Recognition and the generation of toolpaths based on a user-defined technology database.Īutomatic and Interactive Feature RecognitionĪutomatic Feature Recognition (AFR) analyzes the part shape and defines the most common machinable features such as the OD and ID of the part, front face and grooves. CAMWorks 2 and 4 Axis Turning software for programming CNC lathe machines includes automatic roughing, finishing, grooving, threading, cutoff and single point (drilling, boring, reaming and tapping) cycles.
