May 10, 2013 PartMaker Version 2013R2 provides 4- and 5-axis milling functionality known as ASM-MX, or Advanced Surface Machining – Multi-Axis. ASM-MX features unique machining strategy called Spine Finishing, which can be used in either 4- or 5-axis simultaneous operations and is ideal for machining parts with unique curves such as angulated abutments found in dental implant industry.

3D CAD for CAM Software includes nesting functionality.

Feb 19, 2013 With PartMaker Modeling 2013, users can create 3D solid models from scratch as well as repair and modify 3D engineering data of any origin. Program offers ability to rewind solid history tree of model to any position using graphical slider. Edits can then be made, either by applying Solid Doctor to repair problematic data or by using direct modeling tools, without losing history of model. Using replace-face option, faces of one solid can be replaced with faces from separate solid.

CAM Software delivers application and process flexibility.

Aug 03, 2011 Used for programming CNC mills, lathes, WireEDM, turn-mill centers, and Swiss-type lathes, PartMaker v2012 includes Kinematic Machine Simulation module that provides realism and collision detection for machining simulation of parts being manufactured on VMCs/HMCs. It will simulate full architecture of milling machines as well as Swiss lathe that supports 5-axis milling from gang-slide type architecture. Also, 3D tool path visualization is supported through entire programming process.

CAM Software supports bar-fed milling machines.

PartMaker, Inc.    Fort Washington, PA 19034
Dec 30, 2010 Designed for programming CNC mills, lathes, wire EDMs, and turn-mill centers, PartMaker v2011 features PowerSHAPE Companion module, which allows user to design 3D models, repair poor quality 3D data, and modify 3D geometry to optimize Design for Manufacturability. Program simulates unique architectures and machine kinematics of bar-fed mills in its 3D simulation module, and enables Master Tools Databases to be edited, manipulated, and stored through external database programs like MS Excel.

CAM Software simulates Bar Fed Mills.

Sep 08, 2010 In addition to providing realistic simulation of machining processes carried out on Bar Fed Mills, PartMaker Version 2011 automates programming of mills. For parts with features requiring 2 axis, 2½ axis, 3 axis, and 3+2 machining, software employs Divide and Conquer programming strategy, which allows programmer to break part down into series of simpler operations. When part requires simultaneous 5-axis programming, PartMaker can integrate 5-axis machining strategies found in PowerMILL.

3D CAD Software works with PartMaker and other CAD/CAM systems.

Sep 03, 2010 PowerSHAPE Companion for PartMaker can be used for creating solid models, data repair, editing part designs for manufacture, and for design of machining accessories. Based on Parasolid Solid modeling kernel, it also includes Solid Doctor that lets users read in and repair models from all sources and output file that can be read into PartMaker. Program also lets users create 3D solid models from 2D drawings and can modify aspects of part that might cause difficulties in manufacturing.
