MecSoft Releases VisualMILL 6.0 PRO

By DE Editors

MecSoft Corp. (Irvine, CA), developer of CAM solutions, released VisualMILL 6.0 Professional. This product configuration incorporates 3-axis toolpath generation methods to its VisualMILL product suite by building on the previously released VisualMILL Standard and the VisualMILL 4 Axis configurations.

This product release features include 3D offset pocketing, 3D offset profiling, check surface processing, tool holder collision detection and processing, tool contact area, silhouette and flat area processing, and improved knowledge base handling.

These features, which the company says are found only in systems costing three times as much, along with improved performance and ease of use, place VisualMILL in the powerful and easy-to-use camp but coming in under $5000 price range for such CAM systems.

MecSoft provides Windows-based CAM software solutions for manufacturing parts in industries such as automotive, mold & die, aerospace, general machining and education.

The VisualMILL 6.0 product suite is available for immediate download from MecSoft.
