DP Technology to showcase ESPRIT 2010 at EMO 2009

The latest version of computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) software created by CAM industry leader DP Technology will be on display Oct. 5-10 in Milan, Italy, where ESPRIT® 2010 will be featured at the European Machine Tool Exhibition, or EMO, 2009.

The biennial EMO, set to take place this year at the Fieramilano state-of-the-art exhibition center, is both a salute to the evolution of machining and a vehicle for a meeting of minds — specifically between end users and manufacturers. As a showcase for technical innovation, the show presents the latest groundbreaking technologies.

Knowledgeable and approachable representatives exhibiting ESPRIT 2010 at EMO will be happy to answer questions, perform demonstrations and discuss the new features in the software.

ESPRIT, which has undergone a major facelift as evidenced by the all-new user interface in the 2010 version, includes enhancements for all milling, turning and wire EDM cycles.

What's more, you can now view the simulation state at any point in the process. A new stock automation engine that calculates the stock model in the background makes simulation more efficient.

Including major upgrades to milling functions, ESPRIT 2010 features several new 3-axis milling cycles, new-and-improved 5-axis cycles, feature-based machining for all FreeForm cycles and the ability to define a third rotary axis for milling machines.

New knitted surfaces for parametric machining and advanced pocket feature recognition are also among milling upgrades, as well as associativity with CAD (computer-aided design) models.

Advances made to ESPRIT’s Wire EDM functions include a new cycle for 4-axis pocketing and new technology for EDM machines equipped with a rotary axis.
