The expert high-speed and

multi-axis solution
Autodesk® PowerMill® software offers
expert levels of NC programming for
3-axis, high-speed and multi-axis
applications.

Facing these challenges?
■ Part size or complexity is beyond the
capabilities of your current CAM.
■ Your existing CAM software is inefficient
or unreliable.
■ You need to produce parts that require
no manual polishing.
■ Your customers demand greater levels of
precision and surface finish, and you’re
struggling to deliver.
■ You invested in a new 5-axis CNC
machine and need software capable of
capitalizing on its true capabilities.
■ You regularly machine large,
unorganized STL meshes.
■ You know how you want to cut your
parts and need CAM software that
provides the level of control and
flexibility to match.
