Adaptive Clearing:
The missing strategy for roughing

Use the other 70% of your tool’s cutting capability

The Adaptive Clearing strategy (see the video) is the only general purpose algorithm that can generate side-milling toolpaths for any CAD model and set of tooling parameters. Without it, the advantages of side-milling are limited to production parts where the geometry is simple and the toolpaths can be generated or verified by hand.

The algorithm has been developed by Julian Todd and Martin Dunschen (with 25 years of High Speed Machining software experience between them) with special help from Cimco Integration. It is available for license to all CAM vendors who market software for 3-axis machines. The brochure is available in English and German

A sample DLL or stand-alone demo version is available for any potential partner who expresses an interest. We also welcome inquiries from users who would like to see this strategy integrated into their current system.
