CAM software incorporates over twelve years of accumulated expertise and comprehensive technology within the areas of 3-axis, 5-axis and high-speed machining for mould and die.
Built upon the success of its previous product releases, DP Technology Corp. is proud to feature its latest CAM software, ESPRIT Mold, at the Moldmaking Expo 2006 in Novi, Michigan, USA, from April 25-26. DP Technology will be running demos and giving informative presentations on booth 532.

ESPRIT Mold is the latest release within the ESPRIT cam software family, and incorporates over twelve years of accumulated expertise and comprehensive technology within the areas of 3-axis, 5-axis and high-speed machining.

* ESPRIT Mold 3- and 5-axis machining - utilizing knowledge of in-process stock, remaining material, and integrated simulation and verification ESPRIT Mold delivers fast, safe and reliable programming for a wide variety of 3D machining applications.

With 20 different milling strategies, ESPRIT Mold automatically manages the in-process stock model, allowing the user to combine milling strategies from 2.1/2-axis to 5-axis for optimized tool paths.

ESPRIT Mold offers the benefit of automatic continuous 5-axis machining to maximize part quality and cutting speeds while reducing cycle times.

ESPRIT Mold's automatic 5-axis takes any 3-axis tool path (Z level contour finishing, roughing or re/machining, etc) and automatically converts it into a continuous 5-axis operation.

* 3+2 machining - ESPRIT Mold 3+2 Machining optimizes machining for improved surface finish utilizing A and B axes to incline the cutting tools.

The use of shorter, more rigid cutting tools and direct machining of undercut areas is therefore possible.

The 3+2 product provides an innovative, simple approach to managing the travel limits of the machining and an easy-to-use method to control the tool inclination and indexing angles.

The automatic definition of the approach and retract movements between the machining zones with different indexing angles is complete with comprehensive collision avoidance.
