Machine-optimized G-Code

We work directly with the machine tool OEMs to create factory-certified post processors, which means you get the right machine code the first time. As programmers, you understand how painful it can be to have a dysfunctional post processor. When the post processor doesn’t work, it takes a long time to edit the G-code and you also need to redo the whole process over and over again whenever you make revisions to the part geometry/machine setup.

  • ESPRIT is well known in the industry for generating edit-free G-code
  • ESPRIT experts have worked directly with machine tool OEMs and customers for more than 20 years to perfect the factory-certified post processors for more than 3,500 CNC machine models

TESTIMONIALS

See What Our Customers Are Saying

“The proof is when I am talking shop with other professionals, listening to their frustrations with their CAM system. They explain how much time is spent generating toolpath, editing code and their complete lack of confidence with the code. It is nice to be on the other side of that coin with ESPRIT.”

Jeffrey Kubash, New Product Technician Machinist, Winsert

“We could not have programmed this part with our old CAM software. ESPRIT not only provided a relatively painless programming process, but also enabled us to reduce the cycle time by 50%.”

John Hebert, Engineering Manager, Arundel Machine

Works with any CNC machine

Built upon 38 years of innovation, ESPRIT is a powerful CAM system for CNC programming, optimization, and simulation. ESPRIT supports all its machining processes on every conceivable machine tool configuration, covering a full spectrum of machine types, including:

  • Mill-turn and multitasking for up to 5-axis simultaneous milling
  • Swiss-type CNC turning and B-axis multitasking
  • 2- to 5-axis milling
  • 2- to 5-axis wire EDM and turn-and-burn
  • High-speed simultaneous 3-, 4-, and 5-axis toolpath
  • Production turning, multi-turret, and multi-spindle solutions

Not only does ESPRIT support a full breadth of all machine types, it also provides a full depth of features for each machining process so you can maximize your machine’s capabilities and take full advantage of your machine tool investment.

Accurate digital twin simulation

Part prove-out presents a huge challenge in CNC machining. You never want to prove out the part at the machine, where a small mistake can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Instead, a digital twin simulation provides reliability and accuracy in toolpath verification and simulation of all machine tool motion.

  • Digital twin simulation helps our users reduce the machine setup time by 65% on average. It gives you the confidence to run the program and drastically reduces the number of iterations during the test run.
  • You see exactly what will happen at the machine before you ever cut a chip—and have the confidence to believe that what you see in the simulation is what you get on the real machine.
  • The setup person has a roadmap from ESPRIT’s virtual machine and can spend much less time configuring a new machine setup.
