ESPRIT is packed with power to handle the most complex production work, yet easy to use for the quick programming of simple jobs. For quick programming for optimized G-code, visit our automated 2D programming page to learn more about automated CNC programming for 2-axis or 4 and 5 axis indexing. For tombstone set-ups with multiple parts, ESPRIT contains hundreds of machining cycles. Programs with 10-25-50 or more tools are routine with ESPRIT. The programming of 2-axis parts, 5-axis index machines, and 3D surface/solid machining is available together within the same familiar and comfortable Windows interface.   Download a PDF version of the ESPRIT CNC software brochure.
Full Machine Environment, ESPRIT CAD CAM software includes the most robust simulation software today for realistic machine environment simulation. As pictured here, the machine table, housing, head, control and workpiece can be viewed with, or without, the machine housing. Tools, tool holders, etc. can all be controlled on or off, or made transparent, to visually check for collisions with the workpiece or clamps before sending the program to the CNC. However, if full machine verification is desired, any combination of full machine verification can be viewed inside ESPRIT, giving the programmer the most realistic view of the programming environment. The realistic programming environment also allows the programmers to more easily set up graphical representations of the part setups for the shop-floor personnel for in-depth documentation. Even STL files of processed setups can be stored from the simulation and used in a separate Esprit file for another setup on another machine.
Feature Based Machining... Automatic programming without sacrificing tool control. True Knowledge Based Machining software to automate CAM programming. Whether you are machining solids, surfaces, 3D models or 2D drawings you are machining a work piece to produce a part.  That part is composed of physical features such as: holes, pockets, slots, etc.  The ESPRIT Feature Based Machining method uses this concept of part features to ease the programming process.  ESPRIT Feature Recognition automatically recognizes part features and properties such as height, depth, diameter, minimum radius, work plane orientation, etc. When each feature is machined, the tool path is created using these properties eliminating the need to manually enter cutting parameters. The parameters are automatically set based upon the feature you are machining! You will benefit from completely automated CNC programming without sacrificing tool control when you need it. Furthermore, if you decide to change a tool, or edit an operation, ESPRIT operation pages contain relational values, so the user does not have to manually change speeds/feeds, step over, etc. All the editing is done by ESPRIT! Fast, simple and optimized. You will be confident your NC-Code is correct the first time with ESPRIT.

Complete Tool Control... Optimized tool travel and minimized cycle times. When you want to get the job done quickly, ESPRIT delivers a suite of automated machining cycles. And when the job demands precise tool control ESPRIT offers a full range of options for all its machining cycles including complete control over tool entry and exit moves, clearances, and offsets.  You can change any cutting condition at any point during a cut.  Cutting speeds are calculated instantly from a customizable, integrated cutting speeds and feeds database.  With ESPRIT you have precise control over every individual tool movement, which allows for optimized tool travel and minimized cycle time and machine wear.

Universal Post Processing... G-Code for virtually any CNC machine. ESPRIT will output G-code for virtually any CNC machine thanks to its Universal Post Processing system.  An extensive post processor library contains posts for a large number of the more popular machine tools and the entire library is available to you on the product CD.  You also have the power of the post processor generator to create a new post from scratch or just as easily modify one of the existing posts from the library to suit your individual preferences.  In either case you have complete control over the format of your G-code, and you have the ability to create an unlimited number of post processors.

Simulation and Verification... Assures your NC programs are of the highest quality. ESPRIT Solid Simulation and Verification assures your NC programs are of the absolute highest quality by simulating the machining cycles along with the entire machining environment, including stock material, fixtures and clamps, in dynamic solid shaded graphics. Using a built-in part inspection tool you can easily compare the original as-designed part to your as-machined work piece to assure part accuracy. The realistic images let you see the part as if you were holding it in your hand.
