Software company Module Works announces the 2025.04 release of its software components for digital manufacturing. This latest release of the SDK includes new and enhanced features designed to enhance process safety, improve toolpath generation efficiency, and increase part quality.

Multi-axis edge finishing — deburring

With automatic sorting, it is often difficult to meet the deburring requirements of each part because the predefined order does not always match the specific needs of the job.

The Module Works 2025.04 release introduces a practical alternative to automatic sorting: Users can now preserve the input order of the curves, and the resulting toolpath is sorted accordingly. This gives users more flexibility, enabling them to machine edges in their preferred sequence to improve overall machining efficiency and precision.

Multi-axis edge finishing — deburring

Previously, determining the appropriate machining direction for 3- and 4-axis toolpaths often led to suboptimal ordering, resulting in discontinuous toolpaths.

Module Works 2025.04 contains a new option called 'automatic machining direction’ that takes the contour direction into account to ensure optimal ordering. This makes deburring toolpaths more user-friendly while also reducing the machining cycle time.

Special parts — multiblade

Users often struggle to prevent the tool from rubbing against the leading edge due to tilting and machine motion. Since the edge is thin, this may cause it to overheat.

The 2025.04 release solves this problem by applying an extension, leaving offset material to be removed later. This strategy drives the tool longitudinally along the edge, effectively removing the extra material leftover from the previous operation without causing damage to the thin leading edge. This enhanced toolpath allows the part to be finished with the required surface quality and material integrity.

3-axis machining

Generating a consistent surface finish in corner regions is often hampered by pattern collapse and corner smoothing.

The Module Works 2025.04 release introduces an intelligent Corner Peg Removal solution that tackles problematic cusps where the pattern collapses or corner smoothing shifts the toolpath. This new approach automatically adds strategic peg loops in corner areas, ensuring smooth, consistent results and minimizing the need for manual polishing.

Simulation SDK — cutting simulation

Simulating material removal while checking for potential tool collisions with the in-process stock is computationally intensive, causing the simulation to slow down in complex machining scenarios.

The 2025.04 release offers enhanced simulation capabilities through GPU-accelerated simulation, which can now be used to optimize both material removal and collision checking. This feature increases the simulation speed, particularly for large-scale machining operations, while ensuring precise collision detection.
