Mold shops have trusted EZ-CAM for decades to machine cavities, cores, deep ribs and free-form surfaces. With EZ-CAM 2027, EZ-MILL PRO brings a new generation of 3D machining strategies built for mold making, plus a much faster way to verify the result.
Smarter roughing
- Smart Plunge: when a helical plunge no longer fits in a narrow rib or tight corner, EZ-CAM switches to a zig-zag ramp automatically, so you no longer split toolpaths by hand.
- Automatic lead-in and lead-out: the tool enters and exits from safe locations outside the stock boundary instead of plunging into the part.
- Minimize Jumps: instead of retracting to the rapid plane between passes, the tool lifts only to the lowest safe Z level.
- 3D re-roughing with accurate rest material: smaller tools cut only where material remains, with their own allowances, plunge options and boundaries.
Better finishes, less polishing
- Spiral finishing for organic surfaces and cavities, with continuous, smooth tool motion.
- Variable stepover that keeps scallop height within tolerance on changing slopes.
- Pencil milling with multiple passes to clean fillets, corners and surface intersections.
- Radius lead-in and corner-specific passes that protect tools and reduce chatter.
- Undercut tool support for T-slot and lollipop cutters, so more features are finished in one setup.
Turbo Simulation
The new CPU-based Turbo Simulation runs large 3D milling simulations up to about 5x faster and needs no special graphics card. Choose Turbo in the Quality drop-down of Simulation/Optimization Setup.
