- Enhanced dynamic milling includes finer control and additional time savings.
- Fast 2D HST region chaining dramatically speeds up dynamic toolpath programming.
- Smart rest roughing uses the new in-process stock model to create a highly efficient pass to remove stock remaining from a larger tool.

- Variable depth roughing for longer insert life.
- Easy pick, pull, and cutoff operations.
