madCAM 6.0 Prerelease 2

• 2D Profiling: New nurbs-curve offset algorithm and several bug fixes for the 2D profiling.
• 5-axis Trimming: It is now possible to script the 5-axis part trimming function.
• 5-axis Drive Surface: It is now possible to script the selection and settings for any 5-axis drive surface. 

madCAM 6.0 Prerelease

Cut simulator: New material removal simulator that works for 3,4 and simultaneous 5-axis.

2D Profiling: New faster and more accurate 2D Profiling that generate toolpaths as NURBS. This makes it possible to convert toolpaths to arcs and lines with high accuracy. 














2D Profiling: New Pitch option for ramping. The ramp depth will be equal to stepdow.

madCAM 5.0 Service Release 14

2D Profiling and 5-axis profiling. 
The cutter preview is now controlled by the render mode in Rhino. If the render mode is wireframe or shaded, the cutter preview will be in the same render mode as all other objects in Rhino.



5-axis Drivesurface.
If a drive surface is missing when using the recalculate function, the user will be prompted to select a new drive surface. (5Xtra)
