Powerful templates and user-defined macros help you capture and share best practices across your team. Address the skills gap and help your workers to be more productive sooner.
Key features of Autodesk PowerMill
Every CAD support Import surfaces, solids, or meshes from mainstream CAD systems and produce NC code even if data is poor quality.
High-efficiency roughing Choose from a range of roughing strategies to remove material quickly and maximize cutter life.
Comprehensive finishing Access a library of finishing toolpaths to produce precision parts with exceptional surface finish.
Multi-axis machining Simplify 3+2 and 5-axis machining to produce parts with fewer setups, shorter tools, and faster feeds and speeds.
Toolpath optimization Make global or localized edits to your toolpaths without the need for lengthy, wasteful recalculations.
Toolpath verification Check individual toolpaths or entire projects to find and fix problems before they cause expensive mistakes.
Machine simulation Use a 3D model of your CNC machine to simulate toolpaths and identify collisions, near-misses, or over-travel.
Post-processing Use configurable post-processor files to export safe and efficient NC code to suit your specific machine.
User-defined automation Embed your best practices into templates and macros and share with others to automate common tasks.
