New Toolpath Parameters – Built for Speed and Simplicity
WORKNC has completely revamped the toolpath parameters dialog box, making it faster and easier to program:
- Intuitive Layout: The new sub-tabs are designed to give you quick access to the info you need without getting lost in the details.
- Collision Control Made Easy: No more second-guessing—now you can see and manage potential collisions in real-time with a dedicated Collisions tab.
- Automatic Calculation: Want to save time? Just set it to auto-calculate, and WORKNC does the rest, letting you focus on what matters—getting the job done.
Global Roughing That’s Smarter Than Ever
This isn’t just roughing; this is next-level efficiency:
- Enhanced Collision Avoidance: The tool holder now moves closer to the part while staying safe, allowing you to remove more material in less time. This means:
- Less Re-Roughing: You get closer to the final shape, reducing the need for additional passes.
- Smoother Toolpaths = Longer Tool Life: Less wear and tear on your tools and better surface finishes.
- Seamless Transitions: No more abrupt movements! Enjoy fluid tool transitions that not only look cool but also extend the life of your machine.
Parallel Finishing – One Toolpath to Rule Them All
Say goodbye to juggling multiple finishing strategies. WORKNC 2024.3 rolls them into one powerhouse toolpath that’s got it all:
- Tangency Extension: Plunge outside the material to protect those delicate edges—perfect for precision work.
- Stay on Surface: Keep the cutter down between passes for a smooth, uninterrupted finish. No more unnecessary retracts!
- Cross Machining: Optimized pass ordering that reduces marking and gives you a flawless overlap.
- Ultimate Control: Fine-tune every detail with advanced options like Minimum Retract Distance and Maximum Segment Length.
Global Finishing Gets a Major Upgrade
This is the secret weapon for perfect surface finishes:
- Flat Surface Avoidance: Automatically skips flat surfaces, saving you prep time and eliminating the need for extra protective passes. Efficiency = Mastered.
More Power-Packed Features to Love
