Esprit 2015 is designed to increase productivity for machine tool applications by generating tool paths while also improving CNC programming productivity. Esprit is a CAM system designed to deliver full-spectrum programming for 2-5 axis milling, 2–22 axis turning, 2–5 axis wire EDM, multitasking mill-turn machining and B-axis machine tools, and high-speed 3- and 5-axis machining. The 2015 release adds features, including intelligent machining, strategic machining, CAD-CAM data exchange and cloud-enabled CAM. Data-exchange features enable moving information from a CAD system into the CAM environment. Three new geometry types—sketches, feature profiles and curves—are available through Esprit FX data exchange from Dassault Systemes CATIA, Parametric Technology Pro/Engineer and Siemens NX/UG.
