PowerMill is a stand-alone CAM system that quickly produces additive toolpaths, inspection probe paths, and gouge-free NC toolpaths from CAD models using 2.5D machining, 3-axis machining, or multi-axis simultaneous machining. These toolpaths can then be checked for collisions against other models (for example, clamps) and the tool holder before being output to cutter location and tape files.
PowerMill has a wide variety of direct interfaces. It supports IGES, VDA, and STL data formats, which enables you to import data from any CAD system that supports these neutral formats.
Using PowerMill's simulation, you can load entire machine tools to verify toolpaths and visualise machine and cutting tool actions from different perspectives.
