Tool Path Optimizer
Smoother paths, sharper results—optimize every cut.
A better finish via a better toolpath created by this digital twin manufacturing software FANUC’s Tool Path Optimizer uses CAD data to adjust the toolpath in a machining program to create a higher quality finish and part produced. In traditional CAD/CAM workflows, the CAM converts freeform surfaces to small linear movements, which can cause dents and scratches in curved surfaces as well as inconsistent edges. Tool Path Optimizer automatically fixes these curved surfaces by shrinking the distances between command points to create a high-precision toolpath along the designed shape. Optimizing the command points results in better surface quality and parts.
Key Features
- Can be used with any CAM and/or simultaneous 5-axis machining program
- Compensates the command points in the tool direction
- Optimizes machining programs using Tool Center Point Control
Key Benefits
- Produces exceptionally smooth surfaces and clean edges
- End parts are more accurately produced according to the CAD model
- Optimizes machining programs digitally without occupying actual machines
