Module Works announces the 2025.12 release of its software components for digital manufacturing and digital factory. It includes several enhancements:

New corner finishing for mould and die

Complex moulds and dies often feature deep pockets and sharp internal corners that are difficult to machine due to limited access and tooling constraints. Traditional 3-axis milling relies on long, slender tools, leading to higher costs, greater risk, and residual material that requires manual finishing.

Module Works 2025.12 introduces a new Corner Finishing toolpath, designed to overcome these challenges by detecting uncut stock, generating stable tool center lines, and merging optimized paths to minimize repositioning. It automatically adjusts toolpath strategies for both steep and shallow areas, ensuring accurate material removal, high surface quality and reduced manual polishing.

Feed Control – User defined process constraints

Feed Control dynamically adjusts toolpaths according to cutting forces and individual machine capabilities, helping engineers maintain stable cutting conditions, extend tool life and speed up machining cycles.

Module Works 2025.12 offers a new option for defining custom process constraints directly within the Feed Control interface. By specifying parameters such as side load, chip load and power-torque limits, users can now fine-tune toolpaths to optimize machining efficiency and safety.

Adaptive roughing — Thin wall avoidance

Roughing processes can unexpectedly create thin stock walls, leading to unstable cutting conditions and a higher risk of damage to the tool or part.

To overcome this, Module Works 2025.12 offers a new feature that actively monitors and manages stock wall thickness throughout the machining process. It is designed to ensure consistent tool engagement and improve overall process reliability in high-speed operations.

Fused deposition modeling — gyroid infill

Gyroid patterns are known for their intricate, wavy structures and excellent mechanical properties, but they are difficult to generate, requiring complex density calculations.

In Module Works 2025.12, gyroid structures are now computed directly from an advanced mathematical formula that adapts to user-defined infill densities and path widths. This makes it easier for users to generate customized patterns while retaining all the mechanical benefits of the gyroid design.

Swarf machining — input automatisation

Module Works 2025.12 offers a major improvement for Swarf machining. The latest update introduces enhanced logic for reliably detecting guide curves on surfaces, even those with rounded boundaries. This overcomes previous limitations, enabling consistent curve selection regardless of edge geometry. It also simplifies and speeds up the programming workflow, making it easier for users to handle diverse part topologies and achieve consistent results in complex machining scenarios.
