ModuleWorks press release – for immediate release
Changing the Game with Ultra-precision CAM Software Originally developed for machining optical parts such as spherical and aspherical lenses used in, for example, telescopes, ultra-precision machining is revolutionizing the way parts and surfaces are machined. More and more milling and turning centers now offer the physical and thermal stability to cope with the accelerated spindle speeds, enabling ultra-precision machining to be used not only for diamond turning, but also for a wide range of new applications on standard micro-milling machines. With the hardware in place, CAM software is now the game-changer, especially in the nanotechnology manufacturing industry, offering OEMs and end-users the dedicated functionalities and highperformance they need to differentiate themselves from the competition. High-performance software is important. Generating toolpaths capable of machining parts to an accuracy of just a few Âľm and a roughness in the range of nm requires sophisticated, high-performance algorithms. The ModuleWorks highperformance 64-bit ultra-precision kernel is specially designed to accelerate the calculation of ultra-precision toolpaths and speed up the programming and production of complex freeform parts and surfaces.
