Rest Finishing strategy (2023.1) A completely new machining strategy that combines the best of corner finishing, pencil finishing, and rest boundaries, to accurately detect and remove unmachined stock left by previous operations. |
![]() |
Inclined Flat Finishing strategy (2023.1) A completely new finishing strategy that detects all inclined planar faces within a user-defined angular range, then machines them with a single, 5-axis toolpath. |
![]() |
Setup connection settings (2023.1) Setups now allow safe areas, clearance heights, as well as start and end points to be defined, managed, and applied to all toolpaths contained within each setup. |
![]() |
Consistent collision avoidance (2023.1) Automatic collision avoidance now generates more consistent tool-axis tilting on neighboring toolpath passes and when machining parts that are symmetrical. |
![]() |
Steep and Shallow Finishing improvements (2023) A new option optimizes the machining of open pockets when using 3D Offset as the shallow strategy in Steep and Shallow Finishing, helping to improve surface finish. |
![]() |
Multiple speed-ups improve the performance of common tasks, including Automatic Collision Avoidance, Curve Projection Finishing, opening and saving projects, and more. |
![]() |
Setups now behave more intuitively when using workplanes and provide new default settings to define machine tool, model location, and thickness values. |
![]() |
Toolpath segments can now be automatically trimmed back to allow the application of safe leads and links when machining challenging geometry such as undercuts. |
