DELMIA Machining offers CAM-Programmers the possibility to use robots instead of CNC machines for machining processes without having to adapt to a different software. However there are differences in the way robots and CNC machines are operated and this is reflected in DELMIA Machining as well. The scenario covered in this tutorial shows how to program a robot with Fanuc controller (in fixed TCP mode) using DELMIA Machining. Introduction This scenario was originally concieved for the Innoteq

Here is the recording and the presentation of the webinar by @NS presenting new functionalities that will be delivered with the release R2026x GA. Recording of the session on November 13th 2025. Presentation used during the session.

I am unable to follow Getting Started with NC Shop Floor Programmer due to see picture what can I do.

When you define a 5 axis milling machine you can set two RTCP parameters in the “Numerical Control” section (via: “NC Resources/Modify Nc Resources”) RTCP Support Default Mode ON at operation creation (if the previous RTCP Support is activated) Default is OFF Theses parameters impact the machine toolpath simulation and also the APTfile output. I propose in the following pdf to summarize the behavior and the impact. and also two short videos with and vithout RTCP during the transition path

Hello everyone, In machining, is there an option or trick to lock the toolbar that shows or hides the different elements (tools, machine, etc.)? When you want to make several elements visible or hide them, you are obligated to display the selection bar every time. It's not essential, but it's a bit frustrating on a daily basis.

Hello All, Can I hide this geometry? The geometry is imported from Solidworks. I am only using the NSR role.. Regards Petr

Hi, I am familiar with at least 2 cases where the user mistakenly clicks on a command that causes data loss without a way to recover it. "Remove Machine and its programming" "Isolate machining links" Is there a way to recover the data (that I am not familiar with)? I suggest adding some notification (raise a question/confirmation) before the system executes these. Need to consider that these commands are located in commonly used areas and according to our experience, users occasionally

I am trying to mill M5 x 0.8 internal threads. To get the threads large enough to pass a M5 bolt, I have to set the diameter to 7.0 mm. It is possible I have something in the tool geometry wrong. The tool is a single edge (as opposed to a comb type) cutter with 4mm cutting diameter and a 2.9mm shank relief. Below is the geometry I have set. Here are the cutting parameters I had to use to get the diameter correct. I am not sure why I need to enter 7mm. The best idea I have is that the entry

Hi community, I am machining in NC Shop Floor Programmer. I added a rectangular stock. Maybe a stupid question. But I can't find it. How can I change the size of the stock? Do I need to add a new stock? Or can I edit the original stock? Best regards Petr

It would be really handy to have a "Go to folder" button somewhere in this panel so you can click it and go to the folder where the output was saved. When someone (like me) has an "I forgot to set [whatever parameter]" and need to quickly repost and send the code, that button would save drilling down in Windows Explorer several times and about a gazillion extra clicks. Just a thought.

Hi community, When creating a machine, you can set the priority of the rotary axes (e.g., Default, Minus, or Plus). This option is very convenient, but it would be much more interesting to be able to insert the option to position the machine in Minus or Plus before machining operation, depending on machining or collision requirements. Normally, an APT word is inserted (e.g., MODE/BAXIS,PLUS or MODE/BAXIS,MINUS, or to manage the C-axis singularity, ROTATE/CAXIS,ON,180...) and the PostProcessor

Hello; One of our customers makes molding dies. -We previously used CATIA V5 and solved this issue in CATIA V5 by using user representation. Now, what I want to ask is that we want to do this without using representation in V6 because it is a special tool and we cannot download it from any site. My suggestion is to add a T-slot to the sweeping operation and provide a chamfer support to sharpen the tool's lower edge and upper edge. @NY @NK @EK @AC

Hi Community I have seen one video on feature recognition in 3DEXPERIENCE DELMIA, I have attached in below similarly, I have to do this in my system Can anyone please guide me on this with steps Thank You

Dear community, I'm having a problem where I'm suddenly no longer able to increase or decrease the speed of the timer using the + or - keys during a program simulation. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thank you.

Hello, I need to check local parameters link to use tools, in configuration view. We have no access to compensation parameters. I know we have them with activities tree, but it's less usefull. another topic: by default, when we load/replace tool assembly , access to compensation table is activated and number are equal to 1. It can be an issue when we need to manage tool compensation (Lenght & Radius). No setting is linked to this behavior.

It is possible to connect NCSIMUL to the 3DEXPERIENCE to create the NCSIMUL workcell and launch the NC simulation software in "one Click". The connector is used in this nice video (around 3min30) done by @LL

Hello, I am looking for a solution to a problem that occurs during face milling with an insert-type cutter. A tool of this design cannot enter the material with a vertical plunge movement, because this causes collisions between the cutter body (where there are no cutting inserts) and the workpiece material. Despite enabling the collision avoidance option, toolpaths are still generated with colliding movements. I would expect the toolpaths to be trimmed and arranged in such a way that machining

How would I go about creating this tool as a resource. When I worked on CATIA, I could just make a sketch which CATIA would revolve for me. I can't seem to find that option in Shop Floor Machining.

After today's update, 3DEXPERIENCE keeps crashing whenever I try to delete any geometry using the delete button – regardless of the operation. This issue is happening on multiple PCs, not just mine. At this point, the software crashes so frequently that I can’t continue working. I urgently need a solution or workaround. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there an official fix?

Hello, I am trying to do a demo with RE-USE for a customer. It can perform 3-axis or 2.5-axis machining, BUT I cannot do 5-axis simultaneous programming. How can I do this? Can NPX perform 5-axis simultaneous machining?

Hi, master ^^ My customer has used the HA0.PCD.RLD.200 (SWISS Tools System) turning tool set. This turning tool features a compound bevel design for insert assembly. In the 3DE turning tool setup, the top surface of the insert is parallel to the XZ plane. The customer intends to use this HA0.PCD.RLD.200 tool for simulating physical cutting operations. Could you please advise: Whether the simulation can be performed normally? Are there any precautions that need to be noted? Your expert guidance

Hello, I have a manufacturing process with three phases: Turning 10, Turning 20, Milling 30. When I simulate from the manufacturing program, everything goes well for all three phases. When I simulate a single operation (or a group of operations) or after editing an operation, accessories and tools change positions or appear (see photos). Is this a known issue? Or is this a bad approach on my part? Simulation after editing an opération Simulation after editing an opération (ph20)

The "Simulation time" includes the "Specified time" for tool changes, which is set to a default of 5 seconds. This time can be modified for each tool change via "Advanced edit," but this is an unnecessary repetitive task. The default "Specified time" for tool changes should be a machine property, configurable during machine setup, similar to the "Rapid feedrate."

I have a 6mm chamfer mill and a 3mm chamfer to cut. I can use curve following, but it leaves a small edge uncut. I would like to do a couple passes to cut the chamfer, but can't seem to figure out how. I have tried all the contouring passes, Z level, and even tried to call it a pocket, all to no avail. I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

When I click "switch to edit mode" on a part, the machining wizard goes away and I am unable to re-enable it. Even if the close the current manufacturing cell and create a new one, the wizard is no longer accessible. Please advise on how to re-enable the wizard (I assume this would be exiting edit mode??) without having to close and restart the app. "Switch to edit mode" Wizard is gone.

When I import a machine using the "Import and Mount Resources", I got my library and click on my NC Machine so it get's added the current manufacturing cell. It then takes me to this screen with informational popup that says "Click any of the icons in the context toolbars or select resource rom the PPR tree or from viewer" -- Can someone please explain to me what this means? What do I need to select and why is it asking me this? Thanks!

A PowerCopy is a set of features (geometric elements, formulas, constraints and so forth) that are grouped in order to be used in a different context, and presenting the ability to be re-specified according to the context when pasted. This PowerCopy captures the design intent and know-how of the designer thus enabling greater reusability and efficiency. This page aims to explain how this capability can be leveraged in DELMIA Machining. In 5-Axis machining the stock material often serves as the

One common problem in five axis machining is that in some cases it´s not possible to drive the tool along the programmed trajectory without changing the machine configuration along the toolpath. Usually this causes a large angular variation in one of the rotational axes of the machine. These movements can cause damage to the part and/or machine if not detected and corrected. This page aims to explain how DELMIA Machining can help to detect and avoid this kind of issue. Scenario: In this example

Hey all, I’ve been running a few custom plastic fabrication jobs using DELMIA Fabrication for CAM programming, specifically targeting our Haas UMC-750. The machine itself is solid, but I’m running into a recurring issue when generating complex 5-axis toolpaths in DELMIA—particularly with undercuts and deep contours on plastic molds. The simulation looks clean, but post-processing and real-world machining don’t always match up—tool orientation seems slightly off, and I occasionally get small

I'm working with my VAR, but I'd like to leverage the power of this community to hopefully gain some insight. I have a very common process that we do: machining on the 4th axis rotary, then an additional set-up in a vise on the same table, in the same program. If I do all of the work on the rotary and then add the vise set up as a "SET-UP", then the vise part will move with the indexing of the rotary, even though it is mounted to the machine. Weird, why does it ignore the mounting hierarchy
