What's New?
New Functionalities
- Intermediate Stock Management
- It is now possible to compute and visualize the input/output
intermediate stock for milling and
turning operations.
The computed stock is taken into account to optimize and secure the tool
path.
Enhanced Functionalities
- Helical Interpolation Output for Machining Operations
- A helical interpolation instruction can now be generated in the
output file (APT source and Clfile) for machining operations which support
helical tool motion. These operations are
Thread Milling,
Circular Milling in Helical mode,
Sequential Groove
with Helical motions, and
Profile Contouring
defined with a Helix tool path style.
- Multiple Radial Passes for Thread and Circular Milling Operations
- This enhancement allows the user to create multiple passes (rough
and finish) for Thread Milling and
Circular Milling in Helical mode,
and provides capability to create a spring pass. The user no longer
needs to create separate operations for rough, finish and
spring passes.
- Support Multiple Tool Axis in Point to Point Operation
- This enhancement enables the user to
select different tool axes
for multiple points in a single operation, and simplifies the selection
procedure.
- Extended Tool Type Support for Machining Operations
- This enhancement gives user a wider selection of cutting tools on
the following machining operations:
Circular Milling,
Countersinking,
Counter Boring,
Sequential Axial, Sequential
Groove, and Pocketing.
