EdgeCAM V11.0 incorporates new functionality to support 4- and 5-axis simultaneous milling on latest generation mill-turn machines, as well as improved drilling routines for automatically finding and machining holes through cylindrical and conical faces. In parallel, enhanced productivity features deliver faster and simpler operation, along with reduced component floor-to-floor times.
Improved boundary control and new ‘rest roughing’ functionality minimise operator input and geometry creation on both roughing and finishing cuts, while a new tool optimisation routine ensures the most effective utilisation of cutting tools, particularly on multiple part set-ups. In addition, EdgeCAM V11’s improved handling of 3D models from a wide range of proprietary CAD systems provides faster operation and shorter programming times.
