Dynamic Mill comparison

[jrtaylor62]

I was wondering if anyone has compared dynamic mill to volumill, truemill or solidcam imachining?

 

I have tried everyone of them accept imachining and have discovered flaws in every one so far.

 

I would like to find out other peoples point of views on these toolpath statagies.

do a search there has been lots of discussion of MC dynamic vs volumill

truemill and imachining.. not so much..

 

you didn't mention one of the best... CimcoHSM

Overall I would say Dynamic milling is better (more efficient) than Volumill in 2d applications but Volumill runs away from dynamic milling and optirough when it comes to 3d roughing requiring rest milling. If a 3d cavity doesn't require any rest milling, which is very rare, optirough has an edge because the motion is a little more efficient but the program sizes can be huge if the micro lift is used. I have both options and sometimes optirough is the answer and sometimes Volumill is the answer. Sometimes I will use both on the same part.
