PowerMill is a program for Windows that offers you access to a multifunctional CAM system. This application is commonly used to design parts that are manufactured on computer numerical control machines. There is an option to get the optimal processing method as well as simulate tool movements along a specified path.

Development

Upon launching this utility, you can access the main workspace for creating a 3D model of the part. Users can import projects from files developed in other computer-aided design systems, such as AutoCAD or VariCAD.

There is an option to adjust the scale and include the exact dimensions for each object. It is possible to view both 2D drawings and 3D models.

Programming

The most significant feature of this utility is the tool path calculation. The process can be automated using predefined templates and macros. Moreover, the app improves processing quality as well as eliminates the need for manual polishing of parts.

In order to detect errors and optimize your work, you may run a simulation of the CNC machine’s operation.
