 Dolphin PartMaster
CNC Software -
Powerful
Milling, Lathe Turning & Wire EDM
Dolphin PartMaster is easy but
powerful programming software for CNC mills, lathes or wire EDM
machining on Microsoft Windows. PartMaster is flexible enough for jobs
ranging from simple contouring to complex area
clearance, engraving & Z profiling (for milling) and shape merging and is ideal for a
broad range of metal plastic or wood stocks, CNC lathe
turning, flame and laser cutting (no nesting). Flexible
CNC post processor
support includes controllers including Cincinnati, Fagor,
Fanuc, Hass, Mach 2 & Mach 3, Bridgeport, Bosch, Proto-Trak,
Charmilles, Siemens, TurboCNC, Japax and more. It can
also calculate cycle time for help in quotations, create
tooling lists and setup sheets. ISO NC G-code, M-code,
contour programming and canned cycles
can all be quickly defined from scratch or from legacy AutoCAD DXF
files. CADDIT also offers an exclusive
progeCAM design bundle for AutoCAD users! |

CNC is the abbreviation
for Computer Numeric Control, or, the digital
control of electronic motion by means of a
standard numerical instruction set. CNC machines
are typically driven by an integrated controller
accepting various formats of ISO G-code and
M-code program sets, which in turn runs a CNC program
which can be either stored internally or "drip
fed" in real-, pseudo-real, or non-real time
from a DNC connection. DNC is the abbreviation
for Direct Numerical Control, or, the
programming of CNC motion control over a fixed
connection from a remote CNC programming
computer.
The Dolphin PartMaster CNC CAM
software series assists this computer automated
manufacturing at all levels. Most
PartMaster packages include DNC RS-232 communication with
the machining center. Dolphin PartMaster's low cost software
licenses start at cost under $1000 for basic 2
1/2 axis milling, cutting and routing, scaling
up to partial 3+ axis
programming with optional level 3 lathe and wire EDM
post processing.

"We
had looked at several different 3D systems, but decided on
Dolphin 3D CAM because of it's ease of use. In fact,
it is so easy that we didn't require any formal training! In
our line of business which is the manufacture of specialised
automation equipment, our designs are calling for ever
more complex 3D machining to be undertaken, and Dolphin 3D CAM
has allowed us to undertake the work in-house, at a fraction of
the cost of other systems we had looked at". - T F

Approach moves, 1st span and whole contour. Partial
machining to avoid clamps etc. Combine multiple
contours, Angled wall machining, Z profiling, Set
plunge position.
-

-
Spiral
ramping, Set plunge position, Angled wall machining.
-
Shape
Merge
-
Define
two separate contours at differing Z depths and
create a ruled surface between them, constant Z
level or full 3 axis machining.
-
Z
Profiling
-
Single
Slot, Ruled surfaces - Extrusion and Rotation,
Surface of revolution and surface patch between 2
profiles.
-
Chamfering
-
Automatically produces single or multiple cuts
depending on tool size.
-
Thread
Milling - For internal and external threads using
single and multi-point tools
-
Digitising
-
Free hand
milling and drilling - ideal for backing off
extrusion dies
-
Macros
-
Create
custom Visual Basic Scripts (VBS) to automate
repetitive work and produce family of parts.
-
Tooling
Database - Create multiple tooling databases and
machine tool setups.
-
Tooling -
Turn, Bore, Groove, Trepan, Button, Partoff,
Threading and Drills.
-
Facing -
Simply choose the start and end points for the
Facing operation from the screen, set the cutdepth
and the operation is complete. Fast and effective,
includes the option to cut past the centre line to
eliminate pips.
-
Turning -
Roughing the part couldn't be simpler, set the
maximum and minimum Z & X coordinates, the system
won’t encroach onto the workpiece. set the Z and X
finishing allowances and choose to keep out of
“undercuts” if required.
-
Profiling
- Advanced Profiling with full G41/G42 tool nose
radius compensation, differential finishing in Z &
X. Approach and Runoff settings. Partial machining.
Forward and Reverse, Internal and External.
-
Grooving
- Machine regular Grooves with Lip and Root details,
or use a Grooving tool on ANY shape !
-
Advanced
Roughing - Roughing from a Billet or from ANY shaped
Casting or Forging. Superb toolpath optimization.
-
Threading
- For internal and external threads, single or multi
start threads - options for Feed Angle, Runoff and
Acme type threads.
-
Post-Processing & Canned Cycles - PartMaster
Turning will output your controllers Canned Cycles
such as G71, G72 for Roughing, G76 for Threading,
G75 for Grooving etc. A comprehensive range of Post-
Processors are supplied as standard.
-
PartMaster PDA Comms - a new method
of communicating with your machine tools. It uses a
PDA (handheld) PC running Windows Mobile and a
specially developed version of PartMaster Dcomms.
