Five-axis machining makes it possible to manufacture complex blade geometry by continuously coordinating the position and orientation of the cutting tool relative to the part. That capability,...
Imagine you're finishing an impeller blade with a ball end mill. The drawing calls for a specific surface finish, but now you need to determine the toolpath parameters that will achieve it. Should...
Most programmers have worked with a toolpath that looks reasonable at first but becomes increasingly difficult to manage as programming progresses. Besides being a hassle to deal with, unnecessarily...
The guiding principle behind Concepts NREC’s Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, MAX-PAC, is to simplify the task of creating efficient milling toolpaths for turbomachinery. Since we are...
