Autodesk PowerMill supports high-speed and multi-axis CNC machining for complex parts.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Prepare complex surfaces
Use the selected part, stock, machine or cell layout. In the intended PowerMill preview, prepare complex surfaces; the visible result is a process setup with work coordinates, resources and target geometry visible. Review orientation, reach, tooling and fixture assumptions before accepting or exporting it.
Create multi-axis strategies
Start from the chosen operations, tools or robot tasks. In the intended PowerMill preview, create multi-axis strategies; the visible result is a generated path or production sequence over the same setup. Review clearance, collisions, limits, feeds and operation order before accepting or exporting it.
Verify tool and holder clearance
Begin with the simulated material removal, robot motion or process results. In the intended PowerMill preview, verify tool and holder clearance; the visible result is a verification view with remaining stock, reach or cycle data exposed. Review collisions, code target, cycle time and safe human approval before accepting or exporting it.
