Much like the sketch-type stock, this will require some planning. With the part/configuration stock type, we can select an existing part file or select geometry from a configuration within the open file. The example above is the STL stock applied. Once you select open, you can click the green check and the stock will be applied. To import the work in progress STL stock, select the fourth option, and select the three dots button to choose the path where you saved the WIP. Make sure to save the file to a location that you can reference as you’ll need to when importing it as stock. Be aware that you must export the WIP in the unit type you are using, otherwise when you import it, it will be the wrong size. When using the save WIP you can choose the file location you want to save the WIP file to. The show difference button (number 2) will display the toolpath cut down to completion and show how far from the target part we are. Save the result as a WIP with the third button shown in the image below. To save our work in progress we will start the simulation as soon as it finishes, we can select show difference. To run a simulation, right-click on the turn set up and, on the right, click menu select simulate toolpath. STL stock for CAMWorks is very useful for machining something that is a work in progress inside of the toolpath simulation. To select a sketch stock, select the second option, and if your sketch is a valid profile, it will appear in the list of available sketches.
The image below is an example of a sketch to be used in sketch stock. Similar to how SOLIDWORKS revolved parts are created, the sketch stock will take a profile whether open or closed, and spin it on an axis to create a solid. Revolved sketch stock works by creating a sketch parallel to the part profile. The following image is an example of the cored strategy bar stock. With these, you can create a cylinder that can encompass your part to represent your real-world stock.
The Bar stock parameters and Offset parameters give you the option to modify the bars' outer diameter, inner diameter, back of stock absolute, diameter offset, and Front and back offset. Cored removes material from the inside as if the cylinder had been drilled.Solid will be a solid cylinder that the part is inside of.The choices available are solid and cored. The Strategy will let us choose the state of our bar stock. In this selection, we have several options available to us.
Similar to how bounding boxes work, bar stock creates stock that is the smallest size of a cylinder the part can fit inside of. This will also apply to Mill Turn machines as they create the same stock. In this CAMWorks tutorial, learn how to create stock profiles for turning machines.
