The latest release introduces new 4-axis rotary roughing and finishing toolpaths, capable of operating across 360 degrees and designed for screw-type parts. These toolpaths are particularly beneficial for automotive and oilfield applications, such as crankshafts, camshafts, and drill heads. They offer various controls to define the machining area, including Axial containment, Radial containment, and Containment Loops. The compatible tools for these operations include End Mills, Ball Mills, and Bull Nose Mills.
