VoluMill Universal is a full-feature, two- and three-axis toolpath engine for any geometric configuration, including open shapes and islands. The stand-alone engine can take part designs in any format from any CAD/CAM system and create high-performance toolpaths. Geometry is received in popular neutral formats such as DXF, IGES and STEP. A dialog accepts the input parameters for the toolpath, and the output is in the form of G-code-from integrated post processing-or CL data. Viewing and manipulation functions are second nature to NC programmers, so ultra high-performance toolpaths can be generated within minutes of installing the software.

VoluMill Universal capabilities include:

• 2-axis toolpath creation for roughing and rest milling.
• Importing DXF, IGES and STEP files for geometry definitions.
• Robust geometry chaining to easily designate part and material boundaries.
• Ability to edit, regenerate, reorder, back, plot, post process, hide, unhide and delete toolpaths.
• Performing multiple setups per operation and multiple toolpaths per setup.
• Robust coordinate system creation and manipulation.
• Panning and rotating via icons or mouse buttons.
• Ability to zoom to window, zoom to fit or dynamic zoom with scroll wheel, with the zoom origin determined by the cursor location.
• Icons and Alt-keys to access the six standard orthographic-projection viewers plus an isometric view.
• Unlimited undo and redo.
• Output G-code, CL and Mastercam NCI data.
• 3-axis toolpaths for rough milling and rest milling freeform shapes.
• Importing STL files for part and/or stock definitions.
• Easily creating cylindrical or rectangular stock.
• Setting color and transparency on STL meshes.
• Multi-threaded for faster calculations where multiple processors are available.
