ModuleWorks announces the 2025.08 release of its software components for digital manufacturing and digital factory. With a focus on utilizing integrated information, this latest release of the ModuleWorks SDK comes with automated features designed to enhance process safety, toolpath generation efficiency and part quality. SmartRoughing Setting the right parameters for roughing often relies on programmer experience to balance material removal, tool wear and machine stability, which can result in conservative choices, longer cycle times and inconsistent results. With SmartRoughing, ModuleWorks introduces a physics-driven toolpath algorithm that removes the guesswork. By using information on the machine’s capabilities, tool geometry and material properties, SmartRoughing automatically generates toolpaths with constant engagement and optimized chip load. This enables programmers and machine shops to achieve faster machining, longer tool life and more consistent quality while making roughing processes accessible to less experienced users.  FeedControl Ensuring consistent chip formation is one of machining’s toughest challenges, with heat, tool load, spindle deflection
