The ESPRIT 2020 updated computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software from DP Technology (Camarillo, CA) includes improvements to the CAD interfaces, as well as new or improved solutions for specific machine tools.

Many updates are for Swiss-type machining, a technique defined by its small, often intricate parts – for example, medical devices, such as bone screws, are typically manufactured on Swiss-type machines. ESPRIT’s 2020 update introduces or enhances support for 200 different Swiss-type machine models, including:

Citizen D25, which features three channels, 3x Y-axis, 3x Z-axis, B-axis front and back
Star SV 38R, which features three channels and a B-axis
Tsugami SS38, a chucker-convertible sliding headstock lathe with B-axis
Tornos machines
Seamless integration of laser cutting operations for Tsugami and Citizen
Willemin-Macodel MT series machines

ESPRIT 2020 also includes updated support for the latest CAD software, including:

SolidWorks 2020
SolidEdge 2020
PTC Creo 6
NX 1847

Improved CAD support allows users to better design and visualize parts before manufacturing begins. CAD modeling is an integral part of designing and optimizing any new part, and different software types specialize in different modeling techniques.

Additionally, ESPRIT 2020 expands mill-turn support to the following machines:

Index G200 and G220, featuring two and three turrets and a disk turret mounted on a B-axis
Miyano BNE 51 MSY, featuring three X-axes and three Z-axes
Traub TNX, featuring simultaneous independent machining with up to four tool carriers
CMZ TTL, featuring two turrets and two spindles

Enhanced profile threading and probing capabilities round out the product release.

“Product releases are always exciting for us, because often we’re providing a solution where one did not previously exist,” says Director of Research and Development Tania Campanelli. “2020 is no different. We look forward to more users discovering why ESPRIT is the right choice.”
