Description

Fusion 360, along with PowerMill® CAM software, delivers advanced CNC programming solutions tailored for intricate 3- and 5-axis production processes. Users can now benefit from enhanced access to Fusion 360, its collaborative features through Fusion 360 Team, and a suite of advanced manufacturing tools available via Fusion 360 extensions. PowerMill boasts an extensive library of programming strategies that help streamline CNC operations. The software also significantly cuts down on programming times by enabling swift toolpath calculations. Users can simulate, verify, and optimize the movements of CNC machines and industrial robots effectively. With Fusion 360, users are equipped with tools for 3D modeling, generative design, simulation, and electronics, fostering enhanced collaboration and creativity. Additionally, there are specialized modeling tools designed to facilitate the preparation of complex geometries, which ultimately leads to superior CAM programming outcomes. The simulation capabilities further aid in refining plastic part designs and enhancing the mold tools necessary for their production. A prominent manufacturer in the United States leverages a combination of Autodesk Moldflow, PowerMill, and PowerShape to design and produce top-tier injection molds, illustrating the practical applications of these integrated technologies in achieving high-quality manufacturing results. This integration not only boosts efficiency but also elevates the overall quality of the finished products.

Description

Predator Virtual CNC software simulates and verifies the operation of your CNC machines from your computer. Simulating the machining process offline can help you save time, money, scrapped parts, tool breaks, and machine crashes. It also improves safety and productivity. Predator Virtual CNC™, supports all standard vertical, horizontal, and complex machine configurations with 2-5 axis. Our flexible reverse post processors allow for user-definable machine tool configurations. This allows standard VMCs as well as HMCs to work with us. All standard milling, turning, and drilling cycles are supported. Advanced cycles, such as subs, macros and variables, logic codes, and trig codes, are all supported. Predator Virtual CNC is optimized to 3-axis surface milling and can handle large files without running out. Processing speeds of up to 3,000 blocks per minute are possible, while maintaining the required accuracy. Predator Virtual CNC 5 Axis also offers 3+2 support.
