Celeritive Technologies Ships VoluMill Universal for CAM
 CAVE
CREEK, AZ, Jan 29, 2010 - Celeritive Technologies introduces VoluMill Universal, a stand-alone, ultra
high-performance toolpath engine that can be used with any type of CAM system.
VoluMill high-speed toolpaths, which are cutting cycle times by up to 80 percent
while doubling and even quadrupling tool life in some cases, were previously
available only in fully integrated versions for Mastercam, GibbsCAM and BobCAD-CAM.
VoluMill Universal is a full-feature, two- and three-axis toolpath engine
for any geometric configuration, including open shapes and islands. The
stand-alone engine can take part designs in any format from any CAD/CAM
system and create high-performance toolpaths. Geometry is received in
popular neutral formats such as DXF, IGES and STEP. A dialog accepts the
input parameters for the toolpath, and the output is in the form of
G-code-from integrated post processing-or CL data. Viewing and manipulation
functions are second nature to NC programmers, so ultra high-performance
toolpaths can be generated within minutes of installing the software.

VoluMill Universal capabilities include:
- 2-axis toolpath creation for roughing and rest milling.
- Importing DXF, IGES and STEP files for geometry
definitions.
- Robust geometry chaining to easily designate part and
material boundaries.
- Ability to edit, regenerate, reorder, back, plot, post
process, hide, unhide and delete toolpaths.
- Performing multiple setups per operation and multiple
toolpaths per setup.
- Robust coordinate system creation and manipulation.
- Panning and rotating via icons or mouse buttons.
- Ability to zoom to window, zoom to fit or dynamic zoom
with scroll wheel, with the zoom origin determined by the
cursor location.
- Icons and Alt-keys to access the six standard
orthographic-projection viewers plus an isometric view.
- Unlimited undo and redo.
- Output G-code, CL and Mastercam NCI data.
- 3-axis toolpaths for rough milling and rest milling
freeform shapes.
- Importing STL files for part and/or stock definitions.
- Easily creating cylindrical or rectangular stock.
- Setting color and transparency on STL meshes.
- Multi-threaded for faster calculations where multiple
processors are available.
