Velocity 3 Feature List

  • 4- and 5-Axis New Functionality

    Win more bids for aerospace and mold-making jobs! Multiple surface 4- and 5-axis simultaneous machining with full gouge avoidance. Both swarf and end cutting operations include check surfaces and boundary curves control.

  • Toolpath Containment

    Get a better hold on your toolpath! The new toolpath containment provides a powerful and consistent method of constraining toolpaths to user-defined boundaries and check surfaces. Currently available for 3-Axis planar and Z-finish.

  • Toolpath Templates

    Automate your manufacturing operations! Store your best machining practices in a knowledge database of cutting parameters, tools, and materials. A robust sorting method enables simple retrieval of any desired machining strategy.

    Toolpath Templates allow you to store your machining strategies in a knowledge database of cutting parameters, tools, and materials.

    Toolpath templates capture all the information from the operation dialog box. At the bottom of each operation dialog box, there are Open, Save and Save As buttons used for storing and retrieving toolpath templates. The name of the current template is displayed in the title bar of the operation dialog box.

  • Turning Canned Cycles

    Lathe code preferred by machinists! Optimized lathe G-code is generated by canned cycles for lathe turning (G70, G71) and facing (G72) operations.

  • TrueMill Enhancements

    TrueMill has been enhanced, in both 2-Axis and 3-Axis modes, to provide even greater productivity benefits.

  • API Enhancements

    Leverage the SURFCAM kernel to build powerful custom applications. The Application Programming Interface (API) has been significantly expanded and fully documented.

  • File Open Enhancements

    Enjoy opening files in the same displayed condition as they were last saved.
