Mill Extension for 2.5D Milling:
 

The manufacturing process for Milling is modeled inside AutoCAD or Mechanical Desktop by  the NC Polaris Mill Knowledge Base. The Mill Extension produces toolpath on 2D or 3D entities including Solid Models.
The NC Polaris Mill Extension provides comprehensive Cutting Cycles for production milling that include profiling, pocketing, drilling, direct cutting of Extruded Solid Models, and full 5-Axis positioning. 5-Axis positioning automatically rotates the part on the active axis to position the selected face of the Solid Model normal to the tool.
Cutting Cycles of the Mill Extension are associative to the Solid Model. Change the Model and the associated toolpath can be automatically updated on command.
Profiling Cycles provide Lead-In/Out's that are automatically scaled based on the radius of the current tool. These Leads include straight plunge, ramp entry, or helix entry.
 

NURBS Expert for 3D Milling:
 

The NURBS Expert is rich in 3D machining features using a Ball, Bull or Flat End Mill Tools. All toolpath created by the NURBS Expert is gouge free on the most complex models, without operator intervention. Toolpath can be created directly using the Solid model or on NURBS surfaces.
The combination of the NC Polaris Mill and NURBS Expert Extensions is a complete CNC programming solution that satisfies the most demanding Mold and Die shops. This unique combination provides comprehensive machining strategies for 3D Solids and/or surfaces. 3D machining, drilling, profiling, pocketing, and direct cutting of ACIS Extruded Models is provided. The entire tooling process is performed inside Mechanical Desktop, directly on the model. An interface to Inventor is also available.
