The company says the app enables the user
to start machining in three steps. First, the user
imports a CAD file and chooses a project type
(for example, Mill 2D, Mill 3D, Lathe or Sheet
Metal). Suppor ted formats include DXF, STL,
IGES and STEP. Second, the user creates oper-
ations to cut the part. Mill 3D supports pocket,
contour, rest area and other operations. Lathe
suppor ts turning, facing, grooving and other
operations. The app also simulates the opera-
tions to check for gouging, spikes, undercutting,
etc. Third, the user generates an NC file for all
operations by providing basic information about
the controller options.
As a browse r app, O nCre ate 3D suppor ts
Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer 11 and
a few other browsers. The app is said to eliminate
the cost of CAM packages and the hassle of
ke e ping track of updating lic e nse c ode s on
hardware dongles and software lock files. The
sof tware uses a pay-as-you-go model, which
the company says is beneficial for small and
medium-size job shops who do not want to invest
heavily in CAM software.
The software also enables sharing projects
with other users. If the plant is separate from the
design or machining office, perhaps in different
time zones, OnCreate enables users to invite new
users onto the platform and share projects. These
added users can visualize the part and tool paths,
simulate the project, and download the NC file.
The software also provides features easing recon-
figuration for the different machines of new users.
