DP Technology Releases ESPRIT V2016 R1 with Enhanced Features and Performance
DP Technology, the maker of ESPRIT CAM software, has announced the release of ESPRIT V2016 R1, a new version of its flagship product that offers improved functionality and performance for CNC machining. ESPRIT V2016 R1 is available for download from the DP Technology website[^1^] [^2^] [^3^].
ESPRIT is a powerful and versatile CAM system that supports a wide range of CNC machines and applications, from simple 2-axis milling to complex 5-axis machining, multi-tasking, Swiss-style turning, wire EDM, and more. ESPRIT enables users to program their machines with confidence, accuracy, and efficiency, using machine-optimized G-code that reduces cycle times and improves quality. ESPRIT also provides advanced simulation and verification tools that help users avoid errors and collisions on the shop floor.
ESPRIT V2016 R1 introduces several new features and enhancements that make programming easier and faster, such as:
- A new Machine Driven Programming feature that automatically generates optimized toolpaths based on the machine's capabilities and limitations. This feature simplifies programming for multi-process machines, such as mill-turns and Swiss-type lathes, by eliminating manual adjustments and trial-and-error testing.
- A new Offset-Aware Programming feature that enables users to program spindle transfers and bar pulls for long parts with ease and accuracy. This feature takes into account the offsets of each spindle and channel, and adjusts the toolpaths accordingly. This feature also supports synchronization and simulation of multi-channel operations.
- A new Circle Segment Tools feature that allows users to take advantage of these innovative cutting tools that have curved cutting edges. These tools can achieve higher material removal rates, better surface finishes, and longer tool life than conventional ball-nose or torus cutters. ESPRIT supports various types of circle segment tools, such as barrel, lens, oval, taper, and cone tools.
- A new KnowledgeBase feature that enables users to store and reuse their best practices for machining operations. Users can create rules and templates based on their preferences and experience, and apply them to similar parts or features. This feature helps users standardize their programming methods, reduce programming time, and ensure consistent quality.
In addition to these new features, ESPRIT V2016 R1 also includes many improvements in performance, stability, user interface, post processing, machine definition, tooling, machining cycles, simulation, verification, and more.
