Start making parts faster with expert CAM performance
Whether you’re new to CAM programming or a seasoned pro – PowerMill makes it even easier to machine large or complex parts, where quality, accuracy and efficiency are critical. Ultra-efficient algorithms and exceptional levels of customization and control allow you to create, verify and optimize toolpaths to machine the most challenging parts. Boost your productivity by embedding your unique manufacturing expertise into automated templates that can be shared across your engineering team.
REDUCE CYCLE TIMES WITH HIGH-SPEED MACHINING
Manufacture parts faster with high efficiency roughing. Use the full length of solid carbide cutting tools to help increase material removal rates, reduce cycle time and prolong tool life. Alternatively, machine larger parts with indexable tools and ultra-smooth toolpath motion to avoid hazardous cuts, protect tooling and minimize machine maintenance costs. Use intelligent 3D stock models to create efficient roughing and rest-roughing programs to remove stock with minimal air-cutting.

DRIVE PRODUCTIVITY WITH 5-AXIS MACHINING
Use the rotary axes of machines to produce undercuts and other challenging features. Machine parts with shorter tool assemblies for faster, more aggressive milling. Go beyond 3+2 and use full 5-axis to manufacture parts with a single setup. Define a 3D digital twin of your CNC machine and use to identify and avoid collisions, near-misses, axis reversals and machine over-travel. Avoid costly mistakes and build confidence to run CNC machines “lights out” for increased productivity.
