ESPRIT is a comprehensive CAM solution specifically designed to meet the demands of production machining. ESPRIT includes advanced support for:

• 2-5 axis mills
• 2-22 axis lathes
• multi-function lathes and mill-turn machines
• 2-5 axis wire-EDM.

ESPRIT and SolidWorks both utilize the Parasolid modeling kernel. This means direct exchange of design models from SolidWorks into ESPRIT, eliminating translation. Within ESPRIT, all machining is performed directly on the solid model as designed, assuring integrity of the final part. ESPRIT's adaptive connection to SolidWorks means any changes in the SolidWorks model are reflected inside ESPRIT and the G-code program.

ESPRIT’s Solid Simulation and Verification dry runs part programs on the computer to verify accuracy before actual machining. View your design on screen within the entire machining environment, including fixtures, clamps, and stock material. Everything is clearly rendered in dynamic 3D solid images. ESPRIT then accurately simulates every machine movement ensuring accurate G-code.
