CAD/CAM Eases the Move to 5-Axis Machining for Moldmaker
Automotive moldmaker that handles molds up to 40 tons says Sescoi’s WorkNC helped ease its introduction to 5-axis machining with its effective global roughing strategies; smooth, powerful finishing; speed and ease; reduction in EDM operations; and, shop floor programming. Today it has four licenses, including two 5-axis for its machining applications.
