What is PowerMill
PowerMill provides comprehensive milling strategies for high-speed and 5-axis machining, providing you with the tools you need for manufacturing molds, dies, and highly complex parts. In this class, we will take a look at using PowerMill to program a variety of different milling parts. While this class is meant to familiarize you with the details of programming parts in PowerMill, the main objective of this class is to teach you the workflow of programming parts in PowerMill. Focusing on the workflow as opposed to specific tools and details in the software will ensure the smoothest possible transition between programming parts in this class, and confidently taking what you've learned into your shop.
