What is PowerMill?

PowerMill is expert CAM software for manufacturers of molds, dies and highly complex components wanting to achieve the maximum quality, control, and efficiency from their 3 and 5 axis CNC machines.

PowerMill | Expert CAM for Subtractive Manufacturing

PowerMill is expert CAM software for manufacturers of molds, dies and highly complex components wanting to achieve the maximum quality, control, and efficiency from

their 3 and 5 axis CNC machines.

Exhaustive array of high-efficiency, 3-axis and multi-axis toolpath strategies

Super-fast calculation combined with unlimited toolpath editing and optimization

Automated collision avoidance and full machine simulation

Verification of complex processes (nc Code)

FeatureCAM - A Comprehensive Machining Solution

What is a Feature?• Instead of programming parts one operation at a time,

FeatureCAM defines parts with features

• A feature is made up of one or more associative operations

How a ‘TRADITIONAL’ CAM software works

Repeat for each Operation

Feature based programming

▪ FeatureCAM Automatically:

• Determines Rough and Finish Operations – based on preferred settings

• Selects ALL tools sizes

• Calculates Feeds & Speeds –material/tooling dependent

• Determines Stepover & Z Increments –based on material/tooling/user preference

• Generates Toolpath

• Creates NC Code
