FilterMAX converts point-to-point G-code toolpaths
to tangent arc moves or NURBS, resulting in files that are
up to 98% shorter. Instead of cutting thousands of linear
segments, the machine will cut tangent arcs, giving smoother
surface finishes. Small linear moves can slow down a CNC
Control's processing time significantly, arc moves generated
by FilterMAX eliminate this delay allowing the machine to
run much faster.
Feedrates can also be optimized for sharp corner
deceleration. Angle between every G1/G2/G3 move is calculated.
If this angle is bigger than user defined
"Corner Angle" threshold then fillet radius and
feedrate slowdown modifications are applied.
Optimized code can be graphically simulated
one move at a time or all at once in the preview window.
NC toolpaths can also be converted to DXF format using the
Convert to DXF feature.
