Showcasing challenging projects with efficient toolpaths
SolidCAM Projects
A selection of CNC programs I've created in the past using SolidCAM. Some of these were machined at SolidCAM UK using their Mazak CV5-500, others were machined on-site with SolidCAM customers.

Toolpath Technologies
Below are a few snippets of the advanced toolpath technologies I am proficient with
Simultaneous 5-Axis Using Circle Segment Cutters
Circle Segment Cutters (Barrel, Lens) offer superior surface quality, enhanced productivity and extended tool life when compared to traditional ball nose end mills.
Simultaneous 5-Axis SWARF Machining
SWARF machining offers significant productivity gains over "scanning" 3D surfaces.
