ESPRIT 2011 Release 3
The following is a complete listing of all DevelopmentWeb issues addressed in the latest release of ESPRIT 2011.
What’s New in R3
S oli d M ill / S ol i d M i l lTu r n
• A new ‘Axial Feedrate Mode’ has been added to Machine Setup for SolidMill Traditional and SolidMill
Production milling cycles (except Drilling) to allow the user to control how the feedrate is calculated for cutter
moves along the tool axis
• A new ‘Minimum Material Thickness’ parameter has been added to SolidMill Mold Roughing to prevent the
creation of remachining passes in areas with small quantities of material
• 5-Axis Impeller has new negative axis options for the reference axis
S oli d W i r e
• New axis orientation parameters for Turn-while-Burn cycles that control the synchronization of the wire during
rotary moves
S u r f ac i ng / Cu r ves
• New ‘Edge Synchronization’ has been added to Closed Knitted Surface and 4 Borders Knitted Surface to use the
edges on opposite borders to define the parametric lines and generate a surface closer to the original model.
