The expert high-speed and multi-axis solution

Autodesk® PowerMill® software offers expert levels of NC programming for 3-axis, high-speed and multi-axis applications.

Expert performance Facing these challenges? ■ Part size or complexity is beyond the capabilities of your current CAM. ■ Your existing CAM software is inefficient or unreliable. ■ You need to produce parts that require no manual polishing. ■ Your customers demand greater levels of precision and surface finish, and you’re struggling to deliver. ■ You invested in a new 5-axis CNC machine and need software capable of capitalizing on its true capabilities. ■ You regularly machine large, unorganized STL meshes. ■ You know how you want to cut your parts and need CAM software that provides the level of control and flexibility to match.

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. Import surfaces, solids or meshes from mainstream CAD systems and create high quality NC code - fast. PowerMill combines ultra efficient algorithms with exceptional levels of control to create, manipulate and optimize toolpaths to manufacture the most complex of parts.

High-speed machining Manufacture complex parts faster with high efficiency roughing strategies. Use the full flute length of your solid carbide cutting tool to achieve exceptional material removal rates, cycle time, and tool life.

Comprehensive finishing Access an extensive library of finishing strategies to machine the most complex parts. Help optimize toolpaths to achieve exceptional levels of accuracy and surface finish. Make global or localized edits to toolpaths and machine parts the way you want. Trim, reverse, divide and re-order toolpaths without costly recalculation. Control cutting and non-cutting tool movements to help minimize dwell marks and reduce manual polishing.

Verification and simulation Use a virtual 3D machine tool to simulate high speed and multi-axis toolpaths.

10 reasons to choose PowerMill

Identify axis reversals, machine overtravel, as well as collisions and nearmisses involving the machine, fixture, tool and stock.

■ Works with surfaces, solids and large STL meshes.

Visualize and validate the quality of 3- and 5-axis machine motion. Help reduce costly mistakes and build confidence to run CNC machines “lights out”.

■ Rapidly create high quality toolpaths on large, complex parts.

■ Gouge and collision free toolpaths. ■ Highly efficient roughing strategies. ■ Comprehensive range of finishing toolpaths. ■ Customizable ribbon interface, macros and templates for automated CAM.

Machine larger molds and dies with indexable tools and ultra smooth toolpath motion to help avoid hazardous full width cuts that could negatively impact tool life.

■ Extensive library of tool types for use with 3- and 5-axis milling.

Exploit 3D stock models to create more efficient roughing and rest roughing programs. Improve the safety of stock removal while helping avoid collisions or near misses, and help minimize air cutting.

■ Powerful 5-axis programming with automatic collision avoidance.

■ Flexible toolpath editing and optimization.

■ Specialist tools for demanding industries and applications.
