WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California, March 14, 2007 - Surfware Inc.,
developer of SURFCAM CAD/CAM Systems, announced today that its latest
release, SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0 is now shipping.
SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0 focuses on increasing productivity
across many manufacturing disciplines. Highlights include: significantly
enhanced 4- and 5-axis milling capabilities that offer reduced programming
time and increased material-removal efficiency for molds, dies,
automotive parts, aerospace parts, and turbo machinery; new toolpath
containment, with APT-like Tool-To, -On, and -Past options, that
provides precise control of toolpath-extent over multiple surfaces;
Toolpath Templates that capture user knowledge and machining preferences
to dramatically streamline the part-programming process; and significantly
augmented API (Application Programming Interface) hooks that make
SURFCAM more customizable to specific user needs than ever before.
Glenn Coleman, vice president of product engineering for Surfware,
says, “SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0 includes more significant
enhancements over a broader spectrum of machining applications than
any release in the seven years since I joined the company. Every
one of our on-maintenance customers will benefit from the improvements
in this release. Manufacturers of airframe components should be
especially pleased. Combining our world-class 5-axis milling capabilities
with the absolutely unparalleled material-removal rates of our patent-pending
TrueMill technology will reduce the cycle times of these very expensive
components to a small fraction of what they are now.”
