Celeritive Releases VoluMill for ESPRIT

By DE Editors

Celeritive Technologies Inc. has announced that VoluMill for ESPRIT CAD/CAM has been released. The integration of the VoluMill ultra high-performance toolpath engine into ESPRIT adds 2-axis and 3-axis rough milling to ESPRIT’s design, milling, and turning capabilities.

Based on the powerful new VoluMill 4.0 toolpath engine, VoluMill for ESPRIT can, according to the company, reduce rough milling cycle times by 70% or more, and more than quadruple tool life. Additional features include roughing for any part and stock geometry, including cores, cavities, pockets, channels, and steps, with optional toolpath containment to limit the extent of cut; a Final Step Height option that uses a secondary, shallower depth of cut, processed bottom-up, leaving a near-net shape ready for semi-finishing or finishing; Freeway Linking that repositions the tool by lifting slightly off the floor and moving at high speed around obstacles, minimizing retracts to the clearance plane.
