Computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) industry leader DP Technology, creator of ESPRIT®, will exhibit ESPRIT 2010, the latest version of its innovative software, at the 26th International Machine Tool Exhibition, or BIEMH, set to take place May 31-June 5 at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre in Bilbao, Spain.

As a major meeting place for manufacturers, distributors and visitors from around the world, BIEMH is a resource for cutting-edge developments and emerging technologies.
Friendly and knowledgeable ESPRIT representatives will be available at the ESPRIT booth to discuss the vital upgrades in ESPRIT 2010 and to demonstrate how to best take advantage of those upgrades.

ESPRIT 2010 offers dramatic improvements in the support of integrated multi-tasking, mill-turn machine tools. All ESPRIT milling and turning machining capability, from 2-axis turning to 5-axis milling, is available for any type of mill-turn machine tool, including lathes that perform milling, mills that perform turning, Swiss-style machines and other “integrated mill-turn machining centers.” In the 2010 release, support for these multi-tasking machine tools has been enhanced through increased flexibility in cutting tool configurations and orientations, enabling the support of a wide variety of machines. The newly added support for additional rotary axes, three or more, allows the ESPRIT customer to completely program and easily simulate the most complex and sophisticated machine tools currently available on the market.

For the ESPRIT wire-EDM customer, the 2010 version includes support for EDM machines with rotary axes. This allows EDM programmers to perform wire-EDM cutting in 5- and 6-axis using turn-and-burn (indexing the rotary table), and turn-while-burn full 5-axis simultaneous cutting with a rotary table. This new version also provides EDM programming with an innovative new 4-axis pocketing, no-core cutting, machining cycle.
