Computer-Integrated Rapid Prototyping and Machining

As falling prices and enhanced performance make personal computers more popular than ever, conventional CAD is approaching the three-dimensional versatility of CAM, and is becoming ever more accessible. Design for automation using wire frames and solid modeling is now common, but for actual 3D modeling output, only complete systems based on NC (numerical control) were available. For many years Roland CAMM-3 machines have utilized revolutionary computer aided modeling and rapid prototyping. Since it's introduction, the CAMM-3 has proven itself in a diverse range of industries, research facilities, and educational institutions.

The CAMM-3's native 3D CAMM-GL language is based on the HP-GL graphics language, which has become the conventional standard for the CAD field. This makes the CAMM-3 an exciting product that can use designs from CAD applications to create mock-ups and actual prototypes on the spot. A wide range of improvements were made in designing the new PNC-3200 model, continuing Roland's tradition of offering truly capable desktop milling systems.

In addition to prototyping, the CAMM-3 PNC-3200 can be used to machine finished parts. It is designed to mill aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous metals. For prototyping, the PNC-3200 performs with plastics, chemical wood and resin forms, and wax. Its precision provides consistent, professional results on many materials. The small footprint and design are right at home next to the computer on your desktop, making it a practical addition to your workstation.

High Precision

The highly precise PNC-3200 offers 0.00125 mm (0.00005") per step (micro-step control) for mechanical resolution and 0.1 mm (0.0004") per step for software resolution. All CAMM-3 models, including the PNC-3200, feature a 3D controlling capability to accurately control three-axis movement. The new smoothing function adopted for the PNC-3200 also achieves high performance cutting for arcs and curves. All these features ensure that the integrity of your design will be reflected in your prototype every time.

Open Architecture Design

The PNC-3200's commands are based on HP-GL emulation, which means that it can be driven from PCs, Macintoshes, workstations, and commercially available software for each platform, allowing you to use the software of your choice. Programs such as AutoSurf/Automill, Microstation, QuickSurf, Cadkey, Personal Designer, SmartCAM, MasterCAM, SurfCAM, AutoCAD with NC Polaris and others can be used. Even operators familiar with conventional G-Codes can use Roland's recommended software. In addition, every PNC-3200 is equipped with both parallel (Centronics) and serial (RS-232C) interface ports, ensuring compatibility with the various types of hardware on the market.

Supports a Wide Variety of Materials

Milling can be accomplished with materials such as modeling wax, chemical wood, modeling foam, many types of resins, and soft non-ferrous metals like aluminium and brass. Because the material can be chosen to meet the need, the PNC-3200 offers a wide range of opportunities in a broader range of output options in a broad range of applications.

Unleash Your Creative Power

Creative abilities and machine potential should be put to full use in designs for prototyping and short-run production. That is why the PNC-3200 is loaded with an array of features that support work efficiency without impeding task flow. The maximum operation speed of the PNC-3200 is extremely fast. A memory buffer of 1MB is standard. This means that once data has been sent, it can be used and reused for output as many times as necessary.
