Dynamic Machining software creates a constantly adapting tool path that delivers more consistent cutting conditions, allows use of the entire tool flute length, often eliminating the need for multiple depth cuts. This allows savings, with some users reporting more than 50 percent reduction in cutting time, and longer tool life, the company says.

The software also offers flexible retract options to keep the tool down in smaller parts, as well as rapid retract on larger parts. The special “micro lift” option will retract the tool slightly off the bottom when moving to the next cut. This decreases the amount of heat generated in the part and also helps with chip evacuation.

Highly efficient entry methods along with customizable entry speeds and feeds, give the user flexibility regardless of the material or cutter style being used, the company says.
