With an icon, accompanying text and dynamic help, users will have easy access to the tools they use most often as well as more visibility and insight into different functionality they may not have known was available within the software. This change enhances the look and feel of the software. The updates to FeatureCAM 2018 are also significant, including the updated ribbon-style user interface. Improvements help reduce the time taken to program 2D parts whilst also helping to minimize the need to use multiple CAM programs. New 2D strategies simplify the programming of prismatic pockets and bosses.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.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.
FEATURE CAM TEXT UPDATE
This new update allows users to make localized edits to regions of toolpaths for greatly improved control of CNC machine motion whilst also helping to minimize programming time.

It’s that time of the year: the 2018 versions of PowerMill and FeatureCAM are officially available! We will share many details, videos and updates in the coming days and weeks on our product center but we also wanted to give all of you an overview of the major new features here.
