Tool Path Like "I-Machining" for Pro-E

[jeuclide]

Does anyone know if a toolpath like the "I-Machining" exsists for pro-e???? Basiclly what it does is make full depth cuts and use the total flute length to cut pockets out. Speeds up cutting nicely and i've seen it reduce times by 60%. Would be nice pro-e...........

Does this software give you the ability to modify parts in pro-e and have the changes automatically regenerate in the CAM side or do you have to import again and re-program? Have you used this with Creo?

It's fully associative with your model.

No I have not used it. Check out in Celeritive website (www.volumill.com) the reseller channel for your country.

I had a chance to try volumill with gibbs cam a few years ago. It was impressive in certain applications and deffanitly worth looking at if your removing lots of material.
