MachineWorks Ltd,  will be demonstrating an innovative Sample Technology at Moulding Expo in Hall 4 Stand A43 from the 5th to the 8th of May in Stuttgart, Germany. The new feature will drastically improve the quality of the graphics as well as offering outstanding performance and constant memory footprint throughout the simulation. Taking advantage of our patented technology, the MachineWorks team has developed this advanced sampling engine with ray trace rendering that retains the details of stocks even when zoomed in. The result is an enhanced image containing surface details that would normally be lost when using a sampling technology. This improved technology offers CNC controller manufacturers an ideal software solution for advanced 3D animation as the memory usage is not dependent on the number of cuts in the toolpath but on the grid resolution representing the stock. The customer can display true solid simulation and handle true swept volume surfaces for stock
