DP Technology to demonstrate ESPRIT Mold at NPE 2006 in Chicago
Camarillo, Calif.-April 6, 2006- DP Technology will be demonstrating ESPRIT Mold(TM), an automated, easy-to-use, and robust high-speed 3-axis and 5-axis CAM system, at the NPE 2006 show in Chicago from June 19-23 on booth 11029. This new product within the ESPRIT CAM software family incorporates over twelve years of accumulated expertise and comprehensive technology within the areas of 3-axis, 5-axis and high-speed machining. ESPRIT Mold is a member of the ESPRIT family of CAM software which also includes ESPRIT SolidMill(TM), ESPRIT SolidTurn(TM), ESPRIT SolidMillTurn(TM) and ESPRIT SolidWire(TM).
ESPRIT Mold is now available through the ESPRIT reseller network to the thousands of companies throughout the world involved in the production of models, prototypes, injection molds, die casting molds and sheet metal molds.
ESPRIT Mold 3 and 5-axis Machining
Utilizing knowledge of in-process stock, remaining material, and integrated simulation and verification ESPRIT Mold delivers fast, safe and reliable programming
for a wide variety of 3D machining applications. With 20 different milling strategies, ESPRIT Mold automatically manages the in-process stock model, allowing the user to combine milling strategies from 2 ½-axis to 5-axis for optimized tool paths.
ESPRIT Mold offers the benefit of automatic continuous 5-axis machining to maximize part quality and cutting speeds while reducing cycle times. ESPRIT Mold's automatic 5-axis takes any 3-axis tool path (Z level contour finishing, roughing or re/machining, etc.) and automatically converts it into a continuous 5-axis operation.
3+2 Machining
ESPRIT Mold 3+2 Machining optimizes machining for improved surface finish utilizing A and B axes to incline the cutting tools. The use of shorter, more rigid cutting tools and direct machining of undercut areas is therefore possible.
The 3+2 product provides an innovative, simple approach to managing the travel limits of the machining and an easy-to-use method to control the tool inclination and indexing angles. The automatic definition of the approach and retract movements between the machining zones with different indexing angles is complete with comprehensive collision avoidance.
