OneCNC releases SMT patent

OneCNC's Solids Machining Technology (SMT) represents a major breakthrough for rough and finish milling of complex surfaces and solids. This technology advancement has the potential to revolutionize the machining of surfaces and solids worldwide.

What is SMT?
SMT is a product of intensive research into 'smooth tool path generation'. SMT provides smooth transition from each tool movement to the next without jag's or gouges. Tool paths without SMT look fine until you look closer. This is where OneCNC excels, tool paths created with SMT are smooth and provide a superior part finish.

Without SMT
Below is a tool path from another well known CAD/CAM software, zoomed out the tool path looks fine as a person would normally see it. Yet when zoomed in, you can clearly see small gouges and tool path irregularities. These gouges negate high speed machining and produce a poor part finish.

With SMT there are no jag's
Below is a tool path created in OneCNC with the same settings, drawing and tool. As you can see here the tool path is clean and consistent. A major benefit to machining with SMT is little or no polishing required, because the of-the-tool finish is of such a high quality.

SMT process explained
SMT interrogates the surface to keep the tool path stable between cuts, resulting in true machining excellence. OneCNC's SMT allows the machine to maintain maximum feed rates by having a smooth tool path. We found that this is the real factor in High Speed Machining. SMT can increase surface machining accuracy by up to 50% or more as well as reducing the amount of NC Code required.

The 'Jag' problem mold makers hate
Jags in other well known CAM software faults the machine into thinking has come to a corner and slows down. With this constant jagging the machine is in constant slowdown. So the tool path not only produces a poor finish but takes longer to machine the part.

Machining Excellence is the secret
SMT provides machining excellence never seen before in this class. OneCNC with SMT is the first product to offer so much technology for such an affordable price. SMT is a significant enhancement to CAM technology that could obviate the need for currently accepted finishing techniques. This raises the bar to higher level and proves that OneCNC has all the power a user needs.

SMT requirements
SMT doesn't require extra skills or knowledge to work. OneCNC is easy to use and does not require extensive machining experience. When you create a tool path with our friendly wizard driven interface, SMT is working in the background to produce a smooth high-speed tool path.
