Autodesk PowerMill 2018.1.5 Update

Autodesk Inc., a world leader in 3D design software for entertainment, natural resources, manufacturing, engineering, construction, and civil infrastructure, has released an update to PowerMill 2018. This software provides comprehensive milling strategies for high-speed and 5-axis machining. Get tools for manufacturing molds, dies, and complex parts.

Summary of Fixed Issues for 2018.1.5:

Toolpaths
- Speed up of rest area clearance with stockmodels.
- Fix a crash when calculating a disc profile finishing toolpath with a drive curve.
- Toolpath edits that can output an indeterminate number of toolpaths can no longer be replayed.
- Fix a crash calculating chamfer milling toolpaths when using a triangle model block.
- A toolpath's internal thickness sets are no longer updated when it is activated.
NC Programs
- Fix a crash when aborting the post-processing of an NC Program.
General
- Fix a crash when raising an error from the tool database

About Autodesk PowerMill 2018. The major new update for PowerMill is a ribbon-style user interface, which is something the team has been working on since Autodesk acquired Delcam in 2014. You will still be able to easily find and access important tools, but the 2018 version categorise functionality into similar groupings, with the most commonly used features front and centre. The new interface is designed to provide an improved user experience and help shorten the learning curve.

Other customer-driven updates to PowerMill 2018 include:

- Dynamic machine control: the ability for users to dynamically change the 5-axis motion of toolpaths using a virtual machine twin. This new update allows users to make localised edits to regions of toolpaths for greatly improved control of CNC machine motion whilst also helping to minimise programming time
- Improved stock simulation: PowerMill now provides a higher quality simulation image that can be zoomed, panned and rotated, allowing users to review the quality of their programs and, ultimately, provide greater confidence that the stock is being machined as specified
- Enhanced turning abilities, including collision checking, editable toolpaths and a greater choice of leads and links, which in turn provide users with increased flexibility and control
- New 2D strategies simplify the programming of prismatic pockets and bosses. Improvements help reduce the time taken to program 2D parts whilst also helping to minimise the need to use multiple CAM programs
