DP Technology (Camarillo, CA) is now shipping ESPRIT Mold Version 10 (v10), the latest generation of its computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) mold software. Designed to be user-friendly while maximizing efficiency, ESPRIT Mold v10 offers new features and powerful upgrades — including a new patent-pending ESPRIT FreeForm 5-axis composite machining cycle and a new cycle designed specifically for machining impellers.
In addition to other upgrades, ESPRIT Mold v10 takes advantage of multi-core processors (CPU) for substantially faster processing speeds. ESPRIT Mold is designed to run on both Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Vista operating systems.
The company says 22 new 5-axis machining strategies have been added to the existing 5-axis functionalities within ESPRIT Mold, an upgrade that translates to greater machining flexibility and improved cycle times. The new patent-pending FreeForm 5-axis composite machining cycle allows users to independently define machining patterns and tool orientation strategies to be used for creating simultaneous 5-axis toolpaths, and includes 20 different machining strategies (cycles) in one — resulting in a range of easily manageable possibilities.
The new ESPRIT composite machining cycle gives users the ability to perform simultaneous 5-axis machining for a wide variety of different parts and industries —including the aerospace, medical and automotive sectors — with one simple user interface.
Plus, built into ESPRIT Mold v10 — and ensuring a programming process that is both simple and user-friendly — is a new cycle developed explicitly for machining impellers. This new cycle includes a roughing strategy that optimizes the creation of the toolpath based on the current stock and a new strategy for finishing the hub. These two new strategies support machining the main blade as well as splitter blades.
