Delcam will be featuring version 10 of its PowerMILL CAM system and version 2010 of its FeatureCAM and PartMaker CAM systems at CMTS. The new releases have many improvements including the latest in background-processing, multi-threading and five axis simultaneous milling. According to the company, the main benefit of background-processing in PowerMILL 10 is that users can prepare data in the foreground while calculating toolpaths in the background. This eliminates the need for the user to wait for each calculation to be completed before he can start preparing the next operation. Calculations can be queued and the software automatically starts the next operation once the toolpaths before it are finished. The new multi-threading capabilities in both PowerMILL and FeatureCAM 2010 allow individual calculations to be divided between the cores in a multi-core machine. Visit Delcam at booth # 22021.
