Powermill Launch

PowerMILL CAM is a more complete solution for complex machining operations, together with more control for experienced machinists that know exactly how they wish to machine a particular part. The program will also include a range of enhancements to existing functionality to enable both faster programming and faster machining.

Using a completely offline approach to programming gives other benefits as well: it ensures that a fully-detailed record is maintained of the whole manufacturing process. This will make it easier for jobs to be repeated by different staff, or even at different locations, and will ensure a consistent approach is maintained whenever and wherever a part is subsequently produced.

Second, it makes simulation of the complete process easier and more reliable. The simulation can begin from the starting block of material, rather than the user having to produce a model of the stock remaining after the manually-programmed operations have been completed.

PowerMILL 9 gives more control by making it easier for experienced users to generate toolpaths based on any 3D curve. This was possible previously using PowerMILL's pattern machining commands but the new approach makes it easier both to create the required 3D curve and to drive the cutter along it.
