What's New in MAKE Productivity?
June 2023 release of MAKE Productivity:
2D MILLING AND DRILLING AUTOMATION
Stay tuned for out exciting new update with several new and powerful tools to take your workflows to the next level. These new features include the ability to:
- automatically detect 2D pockets and slots
- enhance hole recognition
- standardize and automate 2D programming
Overview
MAKE Productivity was designed by a team of certified CNC and CAD/CAM specialists to increase programming efficiency, and produce high-quality, repeatable outcomes by automating the workflow in PowerMill®
Our product provides training content, a suite of calculators and tools for daily programming, and endless capabilities for automating simple or complex, multi-axis manufacturing processes
Automate 90-100% of your complex finish programming using Make Productivity’s guided workflow
Custom automated processes must align with paired product level: PowerMill® Ultimate is required for simultaneous 5-axis programming and machine verification
Enhance your existing PowerMill® programming practices with “multi-project” tools
Optimize after-hours license use by creating a batch calculation queue for “lights-out” calculation of multiple projects
Boost your in-house training flexibility
MAKE Productivity offers a variety of digital learning modules and training tools available “on-demand” with every installation
“Machinist and Programming tool” of the month
MAKE Productivity offers a variety of calculators and tools designed to provide users with every resource for daily programming
