Milling Machining

Milling Machining is dedicated to the machining of 3D geometry work parts with 3-axis machining techniques. This guide is intended for users who need to become quickly familiar with Milling Machining.

Milling Machining:

  • Is particularly adapted to the needs of mold, die and tool makers and prototype manufacturers in all branches and at all levels of industry.
  • Offers easy-to-learn and easy-to-use shopfloor-oriented tool path definition for 3-axis Machining.
  • Is based on industry-recognized, leading-edge technologies which offer the tightest integration between tool path definition, verification and instant cycle updates.
  • Covers full design-to-manufacture processes offering functions for:
    • Defining the areas you want to machine
    • Rough machining either by vertical or horizontal planes
    • Roughing rework
    • Sweeping
    • ZLevel machining
    • Pencil operations
    • Contour-driven operations
    • Profile contouring
    • Detecting residual material
    • Defining areas to rework
    • Visualization of the result of the Manufacturing Program.
  • Gives you the freedom to choose the working methods that best suit your needs.

Milling Machining operations are accessible from the Surface Machining section.
