easy, fast, safe, effective machining SMIRT DieNC is an add-on module to SMIRT DieShop designed to create tool paths for planar faces and drilling holes. The “drag & drop” technology is used to create tool paths directly on the solid geometry with no manual entry of coordinate values.

The SMIRT advantage SMIRT DieNC takes full advantage of all the features within SMIRT DieShop. The ability to extract data and information from multiple CAD sources, the simple and intuitive user interface and the sharp, clear graphics. The dimensioning, section cutting and annotation functionalities of SMIRT DieShop are also available in the NC programming environment allowing the machinist to easily analyze the work piece. All SMIRT products use the same, easy to use graphical interface ensuring no data is lost when communicating between the machining department and other company departments. Powerful milling / editing techniques Special milling methods are available to machine pockets, slots, hole diameters or entire surfaces. Stock material can be defined on all tool paths in the Z direction and on the side walls. Editing tools can be used to set the step- down height, strategy, define plunge milling parameters, break and erase tool paths. Other editing commands are available to copy, move and mirror entire tool paths or to move or modify single path points. User friendly milling in all directions Milling a planar face with SMIRT DieNC is very easy; simply select the face to be machined, choose the tool and the mouse cursor is transformed into the cutter, scaled to actual dimensions. The machinist can move the cutter “free-hand” over the surface or choose advanced constraints to better control the milling operation. Special constraints can be activated to follow vertical walls, execute planar profile milling, set the tool path overlap and control the tool motion direction. If an angled face is selected, no additional work is required as indexing heads are managed and the correct milling plane is automatically set.
