CAM programs Swiss-type turning centres
CAM software offers the ability to program multi-axis Swiss-type turning centres and realise their potential for single set-up, versatile, accurate, unattended machining.
"ESPRIT accommodates the special demands of your Swiss machines and makes it easy to create programs that take full advantage of Swiss-style capabilities with comprehensive tool path creation, simulation, collision detection and accurate G-code generation," said Chuck Mathews, DP Technology vice president In addition, ESPRIT offers CNC programmers a compete solution to programming parts for all multi-tasking machines

Mould CAM reduces cycle times by 25-30%
DP Technology's latest release of ESPRIT Mold includes significant performance increases for the 3D programmer that reduce cycle times by 25-50% or more.
Mold CAM displayed at Difficult Manufacturing Show
DP Technology will be showing its latest version of mould machining CAM software with improved 3D machining performance at Japan's 'Difficult Manufacturing Show'.
Until now, CAM required end-users and/or resellers to devote time to post processor writing and machine definition-formerly routine steps that have increased in complexity.
ESPRIT's out-of-the-box CAM solution eliminates this complicated and costly implementation process.
Developed in cooperation with machine tool builders, ESPRIT 2005 now delivers complete pre-configured and factory-tested solutions for programming multitasking machine tools from Citizen, Mori Seiki, Mazak, and others.

CAM mould software shortens machining cycles
The latest release of DP Technology's ESPRIT Mold CAM software reduces machining cycle times by 25-50% or more while simultaneously increasing part quality and reducing programming time.
ESPRIT offers other significant enhancements: * Dynamic Solid Simulation- new options provide more dynamic and realistic views of the entire machine setup, including part, fixtures and machine tool.
The simulation offers collision detection between the part and tool, the part and tool with holder or the part, tool with holder and the entire machine.
Machining movements are displayed in real-time with the simulation reflecting the actual machine feedrates.
Full, Rapid or Rapid Index simulations have been added for milling operations.
* Additional Rotary Milling Support- faster, more flexible rotary machining is available with an enhanced Wrap Contouring machining cycle.
Previously, Wrap Contouring operations used flat 2D geometry and then 'wrapped' the geometry around a defined diameter.
Programmers can now machine 3-dimensional features in their true position and are no longer restricted to cylindrical shapes.
The cycle supports wrapped and flat geometry and allows for radial and perpendicular walls.
