Our users can instantaneously start a simulation with the stock that results from the completion of all previous operations.��� Additionally, DP bases its toolpath calculations���and most importantly, the roughing strategies���on the current stock state, which eliminates inefficient toolpath movement. DP also is focusing on methods to incorporate more mold-specific CAD functionality into ESPRIT which allows programmers to modify CAD files to create geometric changes and additions required for manufacturing; and methods to include actual machine tools kinematics in the calculation of toolpath. ���This new technology will overcome many limitations innate to all CAM systems, particularly in the field of five-axis machining,��� Mathews says.
