Drilling

A drilling operation can be defined directly in the SOLIDWORKS model, just by assigning a circle geometry to a PASCAM Bea drilling feature. All relevant parameters such as diameter, depth and type are determined automatically and are associatively linked to the model geometry. If required, users can also specify certain technologies and additional parameters manually.
A certain tool can also be permanently assigned to each drilling machining feature on demand, e.g. in order to use only a certain countersink drilling tool, without the countersink having to be present for this purpose in the actual model geometry.
The drill hole recognition will identify corresponding geometries and generates the individual drilling features automatically, whereby corresponding drilling patterns are automatically combined for optimization.
