Ramp contour cutting

Fully optimized drilling

• New 2D high speed toolpaths deliver efficient, lower-stress motion even without a high speed machine.
• 2D high speed Peel Milling peels away material, layer by layer. It delivers efficient constant climb milling with trochoidal type motion and accelerated back feed moves when the tool is disengaged.
• 2D high speed Core Milling cuts from the outside in, using high speed-friendly transitions.
• 2D high speed Area Milling is excellent for more complex shapes and uses high speed-friendly transitions.
• 2D high speed Rest Milling evaluates all previous toolpaths and removes remaining material with high speed motion between cuts.
• 2D high speed Blend Milling gradually morphs the toolpath between two shapes, using high speed.
• Pocketing styles include high speed, zigzag, one way, true spiral, constant overlap spiral, and morph pocketing, each with optional finish passes.
• Machine open pockets without creating additional geometry.
• Choose plunge, helical, or ramp entry.
• Special spiral pocketing options eliminate material when the tool turns a sharp corner.
• Contour and pocket remachining use a smaller tool to automatically clean out material left from previous operations.
• Wear compensation for contour and pocket finish passes lets you adjust for tool wear at the machine tool without creating a new toolpath.
• Choose multiple machining areas with a single selection.
• Click and drag a machining start point to anywhere on your model.
• Automated slot, circle, and thread milling.
• Choose separate taper angles for contours, pocket walls, and pocket islands, including islands of different heights.
• Smart pocket depth control for thin-walled pockets lets you machine depths without retracting, or machine all cuts in a single area before moving to the next.
