By optimizing ordering of Vortex toolpaths to minimize lifts and air moves, PowerMILL 2014 R2 maximizes efficiency. Program includes dialogue to track position of machine tool, and toolbar to simulate and adjust configuration and tool axis of 3+2 machine. Plug-in provides graph of linear and rotary axes during simulation, allowing users to locate potential problems. To simplify 2.5D programming, software allows adjacent arcs, lines, curves, and surface edges to be merged into one composite curve.
