Advanced Capability – feature based automation
Feature recognition of holes, multi-stepped
holes, pockets, faces, shoulders, etc.
Process steps are found in the machining
knowledge database and applied to the features
with a next-generation knowledge management
inference engine.
Tools are selected automatically to execute the
process steps
Users can fine tune results by hand
Process knowledge rules are edited easily in the
machining knowledge editor, with interactive
selections and no coding.

Advanced Capability – high speed machining
Specialized roughing methods maintain
consistent chip loads and keep material removal
rates high.
Rest material re-roughing and focused semi-
finishing methods make sure that finish cuts are
consistent .
Smooth finish methods keep feedrates high and
surface finish at the highest quality.

Advanced Capability – streamline operation
Fits toolpath to the part contours without
concern for the construction method.
Provides a true spiral cut from closed
boundaries, even down to a point.
Works in 3 axis and 5 axis applications
Handles bounded (walls) and unbounded
(open) edge conditions.
Eliminates unnecessary lifts and plunges,
improving tool life and productivity.
Maintains synchronized point distribution
for excellent finishes

Advanced Capability – multi-channel synchronization
Multiple channels of motion can be
synchronized
Synchronization is displayed in
columns, as a timeline, and in the
machine simulation
Machine simulation uses posted code to
drive the simulation for the highest
confidence that what you see is what
you get.
