MecSoft Unveils RhinoCAM and VisualCAD/CAM 2024: Elevate Your Design and Manufacturing with New Features and Enhancements

Design News Header 2023 MecSoft Corporation, a pioneer in providing state-of-the-art computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software solutions, has recently announced the release of RhinoCAM 2024 and VisualCAD/CAM 2024. This latest release is a testament to MecSoft's commitment to advancing the capabilities of designers and manufacturers with robust and innovative CAM solutions.

RhinoCAM 2024 stands as a fully integrated CAM plugin designed for Rhino 7 & 8, the latest editions of the renowned 3D modeling software from McNeel.

VisualCAD/CAM 2024, on the other hand, functions as a versatile and independent CAD/CAM suite, offering users a comprehensive set of tools for the entire design to manufacturing process.

The new release heralds numerous enhancements and features that are set to redefine productivity and precision in manufacturing workflows.

Among the standout features in RhinoCAM 2024 and VisualCAD/CAM 2024 are high-speed facing cut methods for 2 and 3 axis machining. This addition is optimized for faster material removal and improved surface finish, thereby reducing cycle times and increasing efficiency.

The 3 Axis surface machining in RhinoCAM 2024 has been upgraded with Contact Tool condition enhancements. This feature allows for more precise control over the tool engagement, ensuring better part finish and prolonged tool life.

In addition to these, MecSoft has introduced the capability of utilizing the Z axis as the rotary axis for 4 Axis continuous machining. This enables more complex geometries to be machined with greater agility and accuracy.

Drilling in 5 Axis continuous mode machining is now a reality as well, allowing for the execution of intricate drilling operations that were previously challenging to accomplish.

The release is also marked by significant post-processor enhancements. A robust post-processor is crucial in translating instructions from CAM software into language that CNC machines understand. These enhancements promise more reliable and efficient communication with a wide variety of CNC hardware, thus expanding the capabilities of manufacturers to work with different machines and technologies.

Moreover, the expanded RhinoCAM SDK (Software Development Kit) opens doors for automating machining tasks. This powerful feature provides users with the tools to tailor the software to their specific needs, streamlining their workflow and fostering innovation.

Attention has also been paid to the overall user experience. Productivity and User Interface enhancements ensure a more intuitive and elegant interaction with the software, reducing the learning curve and enabling users to leverage the new features with minimal disruption to their established processes.

The NEST and Profile-NEST modules have also received additional enhancements. These modules are vital for optimizing material usage and reducing waste, which is essential for cost-effective and sustainable manufacturing operations.

For a comprehensive understanding of the myriad of new functionalities and improvements in RhinoCAM 2024 and VisualCAD/CAM 2024, detailed documentation is readily available through MecSoft's release notes.

By integrating RhinoCAM 2024 with Rhino 3D from McNeel, available on NOVEDGE, users can seamlessly transition from design to manufacturing within a familiar environment. For those looking for a standalone CAD/CAM solution, VisualCAD/CAM 2024 offers a complete package that addresses various manufacturing challenges.

MecSoft's position as a global leader in CAM solutions is reaffirmed with this release. Catering to diverse industries such as custom manufacturing, rapid prototyping, mold making, aerospace, automotive, and education, MecSoft continues to democratize access to advanced manufacturing technologies.

To further enhance your design and manufacturing capabilities, products like V-Ray for high-quality renderings, Luxion KeyShot for photorealistic visuals, and xNURBS for seamless NURBS modeling can be incorporated into your workflow. These products are compatible with Rhino 3D and can complement your use of RhinoCAM 2024, all available through NOVEDGE. In conclusion, the release of RhinoCAM 2024 and VisualCAD/CAM 2024 by MecSoft represents a significant advancement in the realm of design and manufacturing software.
