Software For 5-Axis Machining

Dedicated software is available to create parts with 5-axis machining, providing high surface quality for industries such as aerospace, defense and heavy machinery. Such machining allows accurate production of complex shapes, and is used to create impellers and turbine blades, ports and inlets, cutting tools, rubber molds, patterns and models. CimatronE 5-Axis Production, from Cimatron Limited (www.cimatrontech.com), machines parts through its set of 5-axis roughing and finishing strategies, and includes tool and holder collision check. The software also includes material removal and machine simulation.
