Rest machining is used to reduce air cutting by restricting toolpaths to areas within the feature that have not been machined previously.

All 3 Axis milling operations support rest or leftover machining.Z Level/Constant stopover combination operation can be used for machining steep and shallower slope areas in one toolpath.3 Axis finishing operations include parallel slice cut, constant stepover, Z-level, curve project, and many others.This can reduce machining time up to 40% over conventional roughing with less wear. Adaptive roughing strategy provides the ability to cut using the full depth of the tool and safely run your machine at optimum speed.CAMWorks VoluMill™ then completes the package with the ultra-high performance toolpath generator for rough milling operation ensuring that our users are not only programming smarter, but machining faster as well! The integrated CAD/CAM environment provides the full toolpath to solid model associativity to assure that any design changes or configurations get updated with a click of few buttons.

CAMWorks’ ability to associate the best machining strategies with a particular feature using proprietary Technology Database, TechDB™, and recalling them for future programming is the key to reducing programming time as compared to other traditional CAM software. Each user has the ability to “calibrate” CAMWorks to machine parts automatically the way they want them done. It gives you the unparalleled ability to produce consistent programs between programmers of different skill levels and abilities. Feature recognition, is necessary, but not sufficient for efficient CNC programming.
