SolidMill FreeForm™

Machine Complex Free-Form Shapes with Ease

ESPRIT’s NURBS-based machining engine handles fabricating difficult free-form shapes with ease. Specifically designed to address the 3D challenges in the mold, die, and toolmaking markets, ESPRIT provides you with a powerful set of tools and machining cycles for free-form roughing, Z-level machining, finishing, and re-machining in 3-axis or 5-axis.

Main Features

5-axis Free-Form Machining

Machining complex 3D parts in a single setup is easy with the powerful ESPRIT CAM system. ESPRIT streamlines programming and provides dynamic onscreen program verification, eliminating the need for expensive machine-tool dry runs. For 5-axis finishing, ESPRIT gives you a full range of options, including planar, normal, transitional, parametric, and offset styles. Program your 3D 5-axis machine cycles with ESPRIT and benefit from the superior surface quality, part accuracy, and material removal rates provided by today’s multi-axis machine tools.

ProfitMilling

High-speed machining with ESPRIT’s patented ProfitMilling® cycles for 2.5-, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis roughing significantly reduces cycle times and dramatically increases tool life. The ProfitMilling strategy combines optimized, high-speed toolpath patterns, chip thinning with light radial engagements and full depths of cut, and dynamically optimized feed rates to maintain consistent chip loads and minimized cutting forces throughout the cut.

Z-Level Machining

ESPRIT’s Z-level machining cycle automatically maintains constant loads on cutting tools for smooth, continuous high-speed toolpaths. When creating a Z-level finishing operation you have the option to machine the entire part or selectively machine only vertical or horizontal areas. When machining the entire part you can choose to cut the vertical and horizontal areas with different tools and use both roughing and finishing options.

Roughing and Finishing for Complex Parts

Achieve high-quality surfaces with ease with ESPRIT’s roughing and finishing cycles, with one- or two-tool options. ESPRIT’s 3D roughing cycle performs zigzag, offset and spiral-style rough machining on even the most complex free-form solids and surfaces. Select from nine different semi-finishing and finishing cycles and machine your 3D workpiece to perfection — use one cycle for finishing the entire part, or define containment boundaries and machine zones differently using the most appropriate cycles and cutting styles for each.

 

Automated Rest Material Re-Machining

Automate re-machining of the uncut areas of your part for maximized part quality and minimized bench work with ESPRIT’s rest-material re-machining cycles. ESPRIT monitors the material left over from previous machining operations and uses the information to automatically perform any number of roughing and finishing cycles. Choose from pencil tracing, lace cutting, parallel flowline, and spiral tool-motion patterns, then select a cutter to automatically remove all remaining material.

Machine Regular and Irregular Workpieces

All ESPRIT free-form machining cycles are optimized for machining regular and irregular-shaped stock and workpieces including surface, solid and STL models, and previously machined workpieces. All cutting is identified and contained “limited to the material to be machined for the final part” resulting in optimized machining, reduced cutting time, elimination of air cutting and extended tool life.
