Adam,
Yesterday I've been to a hands-on workshop for pro toolmaker.
After an hour of demo's we got the change to try it ourselves and I can tell you it's very easy to learn. It's an excellent programm for moldmakers. It has some anti-vibration and smoothing functions which can be used for (pre) roughing.
I was told toolmaker 8.1 is a 3+2 axis and 9.0 a 5 axis simultanous.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me, I might give you an answer.
Regard,
Bart |
