Kitchener, On— August 24th, 2018 — CAMplete Solutions Inc. and Doosan Machine Tools America have joined forces to offer CAMplete TruePath to their new and existing customers.
Doosan Machine Tools America offers a complete lineup of turning and machining centers for small to large sized parts. The high-speed, high-precision 5-axis machining centers enable ultra-high-precision, simultaneous 5-axis control for aviation and medical parts, and five-sided machining centers offer economically feasible multi-facet/complex shape machining, depending on customer needs.
CAMplete TruePath will be available for purchase for all Doosan Machine Tools America milling machines. Equipping Doosan’s CNC machines with CAMplete’s verification, postprocessing and simulation software will save users time and money.
Those interested in seeing the software in action can preview TruePath within the Doosan Machine Tools America Booth at IMTS 2018.
What is CAMplete TruePath?
CAMplete TruePath is an easy-to-use application that takes you from your CAM System to your 5-Axis machine efficiently and safely. Using toolpath data from all industry leading CAM Systems, TruePath’s customizable post-processor allows you to output your NC programs the way you need, with no on-machine editing required. 5-axis simulation, visualization and verification tools give you the confidence of knowing how your machine will behave before you run a single line of G-code.
Post Processing
• Factory approved, proven post-processor for your machine developed in partnership with Doosan Machine Tools America
• Easily edit your post to get the G-Code you need
• Switch between and combine tool paths from all major CAM Systems
Verification
• Models built from original design data to show you the real machine motion of your Doosan Machine Tool
• Full G-Code Verification gives you complete confidence in your programs
Quote from Doosan Machine Tools America:
“Offering CAMplete’s TruePath software allows us to provide a proven, universal postprocessor that also includes verification and optimization for the most efficient use of our customers’ Doosan 5-axis and 5-sided milling machines. The collision detection offered with TruePath brings peace-of-mind, lowers the learning curve for those new to 5-axis machining, and truly helps save time and money. Given all the benefits of TruePath, partnering with CAMplete for our 5-axis and 5-sided product offerings was an easy choice.”

Related Glossary Terms
- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- computer-aided manufacturing ( CAM)
computer-aided manufacturing ( CAM)
Use of computers to control machining and manufacturing processes.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- numerical control ( NC)
numerical control ( NC)
Any controlled equipment that allows an operator to program its movement by entering a series of coded numbers and symbols. See CNC, computer numerical control; DNC, direct numerical control.
- toolpath( cutter path)
toolpath( cutter path)
2-D or 3-D path generated by program code or a CAM system and followed by tool when machining a part.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
