Add your own stock material to CAM Assist, or change one you've added, so you can select it for a part. Custom materials are shared with your organization.
Add a material
- Click My Shop in the header, then Materials.
- Click Add material.
- Enter a Material name. It must be unique (case doesn't count) and up to 200 characters.
- Choose the ISO classification. It starts as Aluminum, copper and non-metallic.
- Optionally add Notes, up to 2000 characters.
- Leave Add to favorites, so it appears in Assessment on, so the material is listed first when you pick a material for a part.
- Click Add material.
The material appears in the list. If saving fails, CAM Assist shows "Failed to add the material, please try again." Click Add material again.
You can also add a material from the Assessment stage: open the Material list and click Add material. CAM Assist selects the new material for the part when you save it.
Edit a material
- In My Shop > Materials, click ⋯ next to the material and choose Edit. Or double-click the row.
- Make your changes and click Done.
Built-in CloudNC materials open as View material and can't be changed. Choose Duplicate instead and edit the copy.
For a session material (marked From CAM session), the name and favorite setting come from your CAM package and can't be changed here. To keep it as your own material, choose Save as: CAM Assist names it "Session material # 1" by default.
Remove a material
- Click ⋯ next to the material and choose Remove.
- Click Yes, remove. This can't be undone.
Built-in materials can't be removed.
