One of Surfcam’s hallmark features, TRUEMill, remained a centerpiece in this version. It provided an optimized roughing strategy that maintained a constant tool engagement angle. This reduced heat and vibration, allowing for deeper cuts and significantly extending tool life. Enhanced User Interface:
The software is recognised for its "Workflow" approach, which automates much of the toolpath generation by understanding component topology
New settings allow for customized toolpath displays, including the ability to make paths translucent and control visibility after specific tool or depth changes. 2-Axis Refinements:
: A new settings dialogue allows for deep customization of toolpath visibility, including translucent paths and the ability to toggle specific tools via checkboxes. 2-Axis Refinements Cutter Compensation
: New "Offset with Compensation Finish" options allow users to apply cutter compensation only on finish passes. This optimization can reduce cycle times, especially on older CNC machines.
