Improved tool simulation

Version 4 brings a lot of improvements to the visual aspect of the milling tools. You can now define tools with more settings to create a realistic look. Tools can be either auto-modeled, basic cylinders, or external (obj) models.

New machines

Version 4 will bring many new machines models along with improved graphics. Textures, shadows, lighting, and reflections bring them to life thanks to our new graphics engine.

Turbo Simulator

Version 4 introduces a new feature called Turbo Simulator. It is for those long 3D surface milling programs where simulation in the standard view takes a lot of time. It is a bare-bones simulator without fancy things like machine models, shadows, materials, etc. Its only function is to simulate as fast as possible. The picture shows a simulation of a 19,000 blocks CNC program. It took under 3 seconds to run at max speed. If you only want to see the toolpaths, you can use the improved Fast Backplotting function.
