What's New in PowerMill 2013?
PowerMill 2013 offers several new capabilities and improvements that make it easier and faster to generate optimal toolpaths for complex parts. Some of the highlights include:
Machine DNA Profiler: This feature allows users to create a profile of their machine's performance and capabilities, based on a series of tests conducted by the software. The profile can then be used to optimize the toolpaths for the specific machine, ensuring maximum quality and efficiency.
Vortex High-Efficiency Roughing Strategy: This strategy is designed to reduce machining time and tool wear by creating continuous toolpaths that maintain a constant angle of engagement between the cutter and the material. This results in faster material removal, smoother surface finish, and longer tool life.
Improved Collision Checking and Avoidance: PowerMill 2013 provides more accurate and reliable collision detection and avoidance for both the tool and the holder. Users can also specify the minimum clearance distance between the tool and the part, and the software will automatically adjust the toolpath to avoid any potential collisions.
Enhanced Simulation and Verification: PowerMill 2013 offers improved simulation and verification tools that allow users to visualize and validate their toolpaths before sending them to the machine. Users can also compare the simulated part with the original CAD model, and identify any errors or deviations.
