CAMPOST for CATIA V5 Course

CAMPOST, CATIA

Duration: 4 days – (32 Hrs)

Overview:
This unique course is offered in partnership with ICAM Technologies Corporation. The course will be taught by a CAMCOE NC specialist at ICAM's facilities in Montreal, Canada or on-site at the client's facilities. The main focus of the course is the development of custom post processors specifically for CATIA V5 using CAMPOST. In this course, users will learn to use the CAMPOST wizard to develop multi-axis Milling, Turning and Mill/Turn post processors. They will also learn how to customize the APT output from CATIA V5 with custom pptables, ppwords, user parameters etc. Finally, they will be mentored on best practices approach for integrating CATIA V5/CAMPOST to efficiently generate and manage NC code output for unique NC machine and controller combinations.

Prerequisites:
Participants must possess working knowledge of CATIA V5 NC workbenches. Good knowledge of machining practices is desired.
