CAMWorks 2014 SP1.0 is now released. Please click here (login required) to access the relevant download flies. Some noteworthy enhancements in this service pack are:

• 3-Axis to 5-Axis Conversion allows for shorter and more rigid tooling: Users of the 5-axis module can now convert their 3-axis toolpath to 5-axis with 'Convert to 5 Axis' option with Holder Avoidance. It enables the tilting of cutting tool to avoid the collision of holder with the feature being machined and avoid areas as defined in the operation and provides improved toolpath quality.

• Enhancements to TechDB CAMWorks now has support for 64-bit Microsoft Access that helps to improve the performance significantly over the 32-bit option. We have also added the ability to select Drill and Tap tools for Turn ID Features using expressions or constants. 

•  Dynamic preview of the selected tool in the tool crib of the machine node. The 3D model view of the tool in the preview window enables visual identification of the tool for improved usability
