Software optimizes 3-axis finishing and 4/5-axis machining.
Press Release Summary:
Powered by TrueMill® toolpath engine, SURFCAM Velocity® 4 supports 3-axis finishing with high-speed machining strategies that offer tapered tool support and minimize length of rapid motions. For 4/5-axis machining, program provides collision checking, collision avoidance, and toolpath containment. TrueMill technology controls load on tool to optimize productivity and extend tool life for all materials, including aluminum, steels, titanium, Inconel, and other exotics.
Original Press Release:
Surfware to Present Major New Release of SURFCAM Velocity® 4 Powered by TrueMill® at IMTS 2008
CAMARILLO, Calif., July 1 /- Surfware, Inc., developer of SURFCAM(R) CAD/CAM systems, announced today that it will launch SURFCAM Velocity 4 in September, 2008 at the International Manufacturing Technology Show.
SURFCAM Velocity 4 offers major improvements to 3-axis finishing, 4- and 5-axis machining and TrueMill, the proven industry leader in toolpath technology. Surfware's TrueMill technology (patent pending) is the only toolpath engine that controls the load on the tool to significantly increase productivity (in some cases over 100%) and extend tool life for all materials, including aluminum, steels, titanium, Inconel and other exotics. With TrueMill, the more difficult to machine the material, the greater the competitive advantage.
-- 3-Axis Finishing: New high-speed machining strategies featuring faster processing, reduced length of rapid motions, tapered tool support, improved surface finish -- and more.
-- 4/5-Axis Machining: precise control over every aspect of multi-axis machining ensuring safe tool motion in the most challenging applications. Support for all standard tools with collision checking, avoidance, toolpath containment -- and more.
-- TrueMill: provision of recommended Truemill(TM) speeds and feeds, improved federates, greatly reduced rapid motions, availability of custom designed TrueMill Series tools designed to further improve performance with TrueMill.
"We are delighted to introduce Velocity 4 at IMTS," says Stephen Diehl, President and CEO of Surfware, Inc. "This release solves issues that limited TrueMill's performance and takes the unique, patent-pending TrueMill technology to a new level of excellence. We look forward to continuing to build on the great quality and scalability of our product."
