- 5. NUMEROUS USER BENEFITS ... Exceptional reliability and performance due to dynamic stock management and WorkNC's ability to machine and re-machine in 3+2 axis mode, Reduced machining times as a result of continually improved and innovative toolpaths (reducing air cutting time). WorkNC's re-machining toolpaths enable automatic rest material machining with increasingly smaller tools, Improved quality of the part’s finishing. Machining strategies and toolpaths, from the simplest to the most complex, can be redefined in a few clicks of the mouse, Exceptional toolpath reliability (traditional and HSM) acclaimed by WorkNC users. Sescoi's experience and familiarity with the most modern machine tools ensure WorkNC's toolpaths and surface finishes are continuously optimized, Reduced preparation times due to the use of predefined machining sequences and batch mode toolpath calculations. WorkNC's efficient 2 to 5-axis strategies, combined with optimized, easy to run toolpaths, bring dramatic productivity gains. With its wide range of tools and features, WorkNC can quickly make your tooling cost prices more competitive.
- 6. I - 3 / 3+2 AXIS ROUGHING AND RE-ROUGHING … Roughing and Re-roughing toolpaths are one of the cornerstones of WorkNC. They allow toolpath generation with reduced air cutting time, localized retracts and corner smoothing adapted for HSM. The efficiency of re-roughing strategies is constantly improved and WorkNC has the ability to machine undercut areas using 3+2 axis strategies. The 3D stock model is systematically updated allowing successive re-roughing toolpaths to be run with progressively smaller tools. WorkNC automatically determines the areas where material has to be removed using its dynamic stock model management.
