Traditionally, one of the most complex 5-axis challenges is generating toolpaths for impellers, fans, and marine screws. These parts are widely used in power generation, energy transfer, and propulsion.

Blade Expert is a powerful, easy-to-use custom application designed to generate efficient, smooth, and gouge-free toolpaths for these complex parts. It minimizes unnecessary motion at the machine, delivering a highly efficient toolpath with superior finish quality.

Multi-bladed parts come in many configurations, but Blade Expert’s common sense operation process turns these machining challenges into routine solutions. And, the interface is the same one used by all other multiaxis toolpaths, ensuring a short learning curve.

Some features include:
•     Precise, efficient, and smooth cut pattern.
•     Supports straight, bull, and ball nose cutters.
•     Automatic stock model awareness eliminates air-cuts.
•     Automatic tool axis control for safe toolpaths.
•     Accurate tool tip control means seamless blending and transformation.
