ModuleWorks Releases 2025.08 Software Version

ModuleWorks shares the 2025.08 release of its software components for digital manufacturing and digital factory. Using integrated information, this latest release of the ModuleWorks SDK has automated features targeting process safety, toolpath generation efficiency and part quality.

SmartRoughing 

With SmartRoughing, ModuleWorks introduces a physics-driven toolpath algorithm that removes the guesswork. By using information on the machine’s capabilities, tool geometry and material properties, SmartRoughing automatically generates toolpaths with engagement and optimized chip load. This enables programmers to achieve faster machining, longer tool life and more consistent quality while making roughing processes accessible to less experienced users.

ModuleWorks 2025.08 introduces FeedControl, an intelligent feed rate optimization technology that balances chip thickness, cutting forces and spindle loads in real time. By adapting to machine-tool capabilities, tool geometry and material behaviour, FeedControl is designed to ensure process stability.

High Dynamic Turning

The new ModuleWorks 2025.08 turning feature in combination with the FreeTurn tool removes these limitations. A single tool can now machine all contours of a workpiece in one operation, while toolpaths are created directly in the Y‑Z plane. This reduces cycle times through fewer air cuts and tool changes and enables faster feed rates for machining.

Deburring: Exclude Holes

ModuleWorks 2025.08 introduces a new deburring enhancement that allows users to filter out holes by diameter and exclude vertical edges directly within the toolpath calculation. This gives programmers greater control and ensures deburring strategies match exact requirements of the cutting process.

Cutting Simulation

This release features a new GPU-accelerated rendering feature that generates visuals whenever the camera is idle. It gives machinists a detailed view of the current stock, making it easier to spot deviations and verify machining results. The inspection visuals lead to analyses, enhancing quality control and supporting requirements in modern manufacturing.

ModuleWorks 2025.08 is available for download from the ModuleWorks website.
