(Delcam: Birmingham, UK) -- Delcam will demonstrate the latest developments in its CADCAM products at WESTEC, Booth No. 2812, March 27–29, 2012, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. The range of enhancements enable faster and easier programming for CNC machining, producing faster and more efficient tool paths, allowing greater machine productivity.

The most important enhancement in PowerMILL 2012 is Flowline Machining. This dedicated strategy for high-speed machining divides the tool path between a pair of drive curves in a constant number of passes, rather than having a varying number of passes with a constant stepover. This approach gives a lower cycle time and superior part-surface finish, minimizing wear on the cutter and the machine tool.
