* Machine complex free-form shapes with ease - ESPRIT's NURBS-based machining engine handles fabricating difficult free-form shapes with ease.
Specifically designed to address the 3D challenges in the mold, die, and toolmaking markets, ESPRIT provides you with a powerful set of tools and machining cycles for free-form roughing, Z-level machining, finishing, and re-machining in 3-axis or 5-axis.
* High-speed machining - ESPRIT's high-speed machining (HSM) functionality is built into all its machining cycles allowing you to cut hardened materials in minimal time while maintaining constant loads on cutting tools utilising the smooth, continuous movements so critical in 3D HSM.
Your choices include sharp corner smoothing, loop-style bridge movements, ramp and helical entry into material, spiral-style cutting with constant overlaps, tangency entry, and constant Z-level cutting.
HSM optimisation for NURBS, spline-curve and arc-optimized G-code output is built into ESPRIT's universal post processor.
ESPRIT streamlines programming and provides dynamic onscreen program verification, eliminating the need for expensive machine-tool dry runs.
