Includes the following features for part
creation:
Holes Counter-bore, counter-sink,
tapped or other types of holes
Pockets With an unlimited number of
islands at a variety of heights
Grooves Engraving, OD, ID and face
grooves
Bosses Unlimited number of bosses at
a variety of heights
Thread Milling OD or ID threads
You have the option to apply draft angles, chamfers and bottom
radii to the walls of any milled features. These can be
manufactured using flat end, ball end or tapered tools. Also you
can quickly create radial, linear, rectangular and point list
patterns of features by entering a few additional dimensions.
Feed Rate Optimization
Tool load can vary throughout a toolpath due to increased depth
or width of cut. FeatureMILL2.5D's feed rate optimization minimizes
these variations by automatically adjusting feed rates based on
tool load. In the following graph, the white curve shows the
original tool loads and the black curve shows the loads after feed
rate optimization. FeatureMILL2.5D's feed rate optimization
minimizes and evens tool wear, and provides faster running
programs.
