CAM industry innovator DP Technology Corp. announced the release of ESPRIT®2017, the latest version of its pioneering flagship product. ESPRIT 2017 delivers a smarter, simpler, faster machining process with expert toolpath, streamlined user control, and accelerated processing power.

ESPRIT 2017's intelligent, optimized toolpath utilizes powerful new algorithms to deliver exceptional toolpath, more reliably, with fewer clicks. Smarter toolpath in ESPRIT 2017 includes sophisticated new 3-axis steep/shallow milling for streamlined machining of complex parts, smart facing with intelligent stock management, responsive 5-axis swarf machining on a wide range of part geometries, and precise tool positioning along lathe contours regardless of insert shape.

User productivity is improved to get faster results with less effort. The steps needed to go from design to machining are simplified in ESPRIT 2017 through easier editing of features to bypass geometry you don’t want to machine, automatic recognition of more details inside complex holes for better automation, and optimized wire EDM to cut awkward profiles more efficiently with new support for pocketing on open profiles.

Machining processes are put on the fast track with a refinement of raw processing power in ESPRIT 2017. In-process stock models are computed in seconds rather than minutes to accelerate programming time. Advancements in ESPRIT’s ProfitMilling technology improve performance inside pockets for better chip evacuation, coolant access, and smoother control of machine acceleration. Plus, wire EDM programmers can now instantly customize and update the data in their ESPRIT Expert database while they work.

Discover sophisticated simplicity in ESPRIT 2017 with enhanced milling and turning strategies, faster calculation of in-process stock, and new 3-axis and wire EDM functions.
