ESPRIT SolidMill Traditional A CAM system for 2 ½-axis programming, SolidMill Traditional delivers complete support for all machining cycles, including 2-½ axis machining, roughing, finishing, and all point-to-point canned cycles.   This package also includes all the “core” functionality as described in the general specifications of the Product Overview brochure. The capabilities of SolidMill Traditional are included inside all the ESPRIT milling packages listed here.  CAM for 2½-axis milling Feature Based Machining from any solid, surface, 3D wire frame model or 2D drawing automatically recognizing depth, thickness, holes, pockets, slots, profiles, etc. Extensive control over all cutting conditions Contour – profile cutting for roughing, slotting, semi-finishing, and finishing straight or tapered walls with constant or variable cutting depths Hole making cycles - drilling, peck drilling, boring, taping and up to 13 other point to point machining cycles Face milling - climb, conventional and alternating zigzag Pocketing – concentric-in, concentric-out, bi-directional zigzag, one way zigzag with control over climb versus conventional cutting and straight or tapered walls. Spiral cutting – outside-in or inside-out cutting as a true spiral or tangent arcs  Thread milling – internal or external climb or conventional thread cutting Library of standard tools - flat, ball nose, tapered, corner round, chamfered, and dovetail end mills. Face mill, thread mill, drill, center drill, reamer, tap, boring bar Library of standard holders - 30, 40, 45, 50, and 60 taper Unlimited custom tools and holders with any geometry Library for materials, speeds and feeds Knowledge Based Machining Project Manager to organize your work with Feature tab, Operation tab, and Tool tab Property Browser providing extensive control over all cutting conditions  Process Manager to machine one or more part features with one or more machining cycle(s) in one simple step Universal post processing with an extensive library and custom post generator Solid simulation and verification with comprehensive collision detection

ESPRIT SolidMill Production SolidMill Production includes all the capabilities of SolidMill Traditional and the “core” ESPRIT functionality with the additional support for 4th and 5th axis, giving you the ability to use any style 4/5-axis machine utilizing any combination of rotary axes, tilting heads, rotary tables. CAM for 5-axis milling (indexing and rotary cutting) Includes SolidMIll Traditional plus: Rotary 4-axis simultaneous “Wrap” machining cycles Contour - profile cutting for roughing, slotting, semi-finishing, and finishing straight or tapered walls with constant or variable cutting depths Pocketing - concentric Hole making - drilling, peck drilling, boring, taping and up to 13 other point to point machining cycles 4th and 5th axis index positioning used in conjunction with any machining cycles Any style HMC and VMC rotary axes Using any combination rotary axes, tilting heads, and rotary tables Local or global coordinates with any number of workshifts and fixture offsets Solid simulation and verification in 5-axis Universal post processing for 5-axis

ESPRIT SolidMill FreeForm A full 3D CAM system for all your 3D surface and solid machining needs.   SolidMill FreeForm includes all the functionality of SolidMill Traditional and SolidMill Production plus the “core” functionality of ESPRIT while adding the power to program full 3–axis machining of any complex 3D free-form shape. CAM for 3-axis multi-surface/solid 3D milling Includes SolidMIll Traditional and SolidMill Production plus: NURBS based 3-axis solid machining NURBS based 3-axis surface machining Unlimited number of surfaces, solid bodies and faces as “Part Surfaces” or “Check Surfaces” Roughing - zigzag or offset from any shape stock using any boundaries and check surfaces Finishing - Planar, Translation, Normal, Rotation, Offset, Parametric, Spiral on the entire part or a sub-section  Z-Level machining – climb, conventional, uni-direction, bi-direction, optimized for near horizontal and near vertical zones Rest Material – automatic re-machining of un-cut areas with pencil tracing, parallel flowline, or spiral cutting Project-Contour – Profile cutting projected onto any set of surfaces High Speed Machining (HSM) support and G-code optimization High-speed solid simulation and verification including “as designed” versus “as machined” comparisons  Universal post processing for NURBS and 3D NC cutter compensation
