Benefits of 5 Axis Simultaneous Milling

Simultaneous 5 axis machining allows the user to create continuous toolpaths across complex surface and solids. Benefits include the need to only create one machining set-up, and the advantage of shorter cutters giving increased accuracy and a higher surface finish.

Numerous strategies exist for finishing freeform surfaces and cavities including 5 axis Contouring, Swarf Cutting, Free path machining and Equidistant finishing. All aspects of the machining within Pictures by PC can be controlled and simulated. Users wanting the highest level of control can purchase the additional 'Machine Simulation' package.
