Delcam and Spring Technologies develop direct link from PowerMill to NC-Simul

With the interface, PowerMill users will be able to simulate all of their toolpaths in NC-Simul. This will make it easier to check and validate their milling toolpaths before sending them to a machine tool. Through the direct link between the two products, NC-Simul has made the advantages of its technology available to PowerMill users. Comprehensive tests can be made on the computer, using the software's knowledge of milling applications. Machine and part breakage can be avoided, cutting tools can be used more efficiently and cutting conditions can be optimised to improve productivity, explains Delcam. Moreover, set-up sheets can be standardised with a click so that every member of the team involved in a project can communicate more easily. Fikret Kalay, director of Delcam France Professional Services, confirms: "Thanks to this new interface, PowerMill users will be able to choose the appropriate machine and post-processor, automatically generate tool data for NC-Simul, and launch the simulation project in a secure way from PowerMill into NC-Simul."
