ModuleWorks has released the 2025.04 version of its software components for digital manufacturing. This latest release of the ModuleWorks SDK (software development kit) includes new and enhanced features designed to enhance process safety, improve toolpath generation efficiency, and increase part quality, the company report.
User-Defined Edge Sequence
The ModuleWorks 2025.04 release introduces an alternative to automatic sorting: Users can now preserve the input order of the curves, and the resulting toolpath is sorted accordingly. This enables users to machine edges in a preferred sequence to improve machining efficiency and precision.
Automatic Machining Direction
ModuleWorks 2025.04 contains a new option called 'automatic machining direction’ that takes the contour direction into account to ensure optimal ordering, the company says.
Edge Finishing
ModuleWorks 2025.04 applies an extension, leaving offset material to be removed later. This strategy drives the tool longitudinally along the edge, removing the extra material leftover from the previous operation without causing damage to the thin leading edge.
Corner Peg Removal for Constant Cusp
The release introduces an intelligent Corner Peg Removal solution that tackles problematic cusps where the pattern collapses or corner smoothing shifts the toolpath. This new approach automatically adds strategic peg loops in corner areas.
GPU-Accelerated Collision Checking
The ModuleWorks 2025.04 release offers enhanced simulation capabilities through GPU-accelerated simulation, which can now be used to optimize both material removal and collision checking.
ModuleWorks 2025.04 is available for download from the ModuleWorks website.
