Used for positional or continuous 5-axis machining, PowerMILL 2015 offers Vortex area-clearance strategy that produces safe toolpaths with deep cut. Toolpaths can approach part from outside stock at cutting height, and increased feed rate can be set for non-cutting moves. Along with roughing algorithm that minimizes number of lifts per toolpath slice, features include near-miss flagging in collision checking warnings, automated angle setting for raster finishing, and strategy selector.
