Autodesk
PowerMill is a high-performance CAD/CAM platform built for complex, multi-axis machining strategies. It handles toolpath generation, simulation and verification for complex geometries.
CAD/CAM FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS
Enhanced capabilities of Powermill simplify the process of 3 + 2 and 5 axis CAM programming, allowing manufacturers to maximise the potential for subtractive, additive and hybrid machines.
Their technology spans architecture, engineering, construction, product design, manufacturing, and media and entertainment, empowering innovators everywhere to solve challenges big and small.
Integrating Powermill and industrial robots creates a sophisticated and efficient automation solution for the manufacturing industry. With full CAD/CAM control, intuitive robotic-arm control and finishing toolpaths to manage and monitor robotic motion.
Powermill Overview
PowerMill brings together a comprehensive set of tools for accurate, efficient machining. Toolpaths can be edited globally or locally without lengthy recalculations, with options to delete, limit, reverse, reorder, combine or divide entire paths or individual segments. Separate machining setups manage how parts are cut, controlling model location, collision checking against fixturing, output workplane and more for faster programming.
A range of high-efficiency roughing strategies removes material quickly while maintaining constant tool load and maximising cutter life, tailored to specific tools and materials. Rest finishing then combines pencil finishing, corner finishing and rest-boundaries to accurately identify and remove any un-machined stock left from previous operations.
