Among the major items of functionality introduced is the parallel finishing toolpath, which considers the real physical geometry of the cutting tool, whether it is a high-feed cutter, a standard tool or whatever form of convex tool shape. Further enhancements include:
- 3D tool compensation, a feature for 3-axis and 3+2-axis machining that no longer demands the programming and calculation of several different toolpaths to determine the required result
- Dynamic calculation queueing, whereby operators can launch the creation of several toolpaths one after the other, run post-processors, or check for eventual toolholder collisions without having to wait until the end of the calculations in progress
- The introduction of a manual option to the existing surface, curve and axis modes for creating and editing 5-axis curve sets
