CAMARILLO, Calif. - Surfware, Inc., developer of SURFCAM® CAD/CAM systems, will be demonstrating the up and coming release of SURFCAM V5 along with the revolutionary patented TrueMill® Milling Technology at EUROMOLD 2009, the world-wide leading trade fair for Moldmaking and Tooling, Design and Application Development in Frankfurt, Germany lasting from December 2 to December 5, 2009.

Surfware in cooperation with 3D Concepts GmbH, Dealer of the Year for 2008, will be showcasing SURFCAM V5 in Hall 8, Booth F110 during the event. One of the highlights of the four day event will be the LIVE machining demonstrations throughout the day which will show reductions in cycle times of up to 50% in Titanium and Hard Steel (45RC).

“In today’s economy, it’s all about increasing your company’s productivity, which means reducing cycle times on the shop floor,” says Peter Marton, Sales Managing Director at Surfware. “The patented TrueMill Milling Technology has once again demonstrated drastic reductions in cycle times as well as leaps in productivity gains in some of the most difficult to machine materials, such as Titanium, Inconel, and Hard Steels. For example, the ability to machine Titanium on a HAAS machine, removing 4 cubic inches of material per minute with a ½” diameter endmill, cutting 1” deep at 115 inches per minute is Truly Amazing! To cut your machining time in half is one of the tangible results our customers are looking for in today’s market. These spectacular results can be achieved with TrueMill toolpaths because the toolpath is controlled and programmed with a user defined Tool Engagement Angle instead of the stepover or offset approach.”

Demonstrations will also be given throughout the week on the new enhancements and improvements in SURFCAM V5. Included in this next release will be added TrueMill functionality, Lathe and Mill/Turn Enhancements, Additional 5-Axis functionality and Multiple Tool Rest-Roughing, just to name a few.
