Features
Port Expert minimizes unnecessary motion at the machine, which results in a highly efficient toolpath with superior finish quality.
Create highly efficient roughing motion with Dynamic Motion™ toolpaths, or traditional offset-based roughing motion. Both methods are compatible with stock models, allowing the user to work within a partially-roughed opening with no air cuts.
Checks for collisions between the tool and workpiece. It automatically tilts the tool to eliminate collisions while keeping tool motion as efficient as possible.
Create the same efficient tool motion using one smooth single drive surface or with hundreds of reverse-engineered drive surfaces stitched together.
Programmers appreciate the simple user interface and intuitive approach to efficient toolpath generation with minimized, simultaneous 5-axis motion—in a fraction of the time it would take without Port Expert.
Supports 4-axis or 5-axis simultaneous motion for both roughing and finishing, so you can take advantage of the rigidity of a 4-axis setup or the reach of a 5-axis machine.
Regardless of the user’s choice of a 4-axis or 5-axis machine, Port Expert will minimize wasted machine movement by remaining in 3-axis mode for as long as possible.
