• 2.5D toolpath creation

• 3+2 toolpath creation

• 5-axis simultaneous toolpath creation

• Drilling

• Turning

• Turn/mill

• Full machine simulation

• Set Up Wizards

• Customisable templates

• Different styles of feature recognition, including

  
  

Automatic Feature Recognition

• Simply select the model
