Build AI-driven CAM programming inside PowerMill,

Dear Members,

My Name is Srinivas, Our company name is Tethys Innotech Private Limited. We manufacture only EDM Graphite Electrodes In India. We are using Powermill from few years.

During my recent visit to Hwacheon in South Korea, I observed their SMART UaX machine, which uses AI to automatically generate CAM programs directly from CAD models

Is The Autodesk development team can do similar in Powermill? AI to automatically generate CAM programs directly from CAD models???

How to contact The Autodesk development team??

@tethysinnotech

No thanks to A.I. driven toolpath generation...I prefer to keep my job!

Good luck

As soon as all future AI generated products will have the AI uniform look, the NC program will also be included 😉

I can do it for you. you send me a couple sample projects and i will give you autoprogramming right down to .020 ball or whatever your smallest cutter is, What I do is load 30 to 40 models at a time with block sizes and hit go and thats it I get all the NC programs in a linked directory and depending on equipment I have mine goto example tombstone 2 face D position 10 I dont have a robot or it would be even easier . I also have 35 years experience with EDM, WireEDM, CNC, 3 3+2, 4,5 you name it I have ran it. email me at digital.creations.windsor@gmail.com and i will set your process up.

Our company had a meeting with Autodesk Leadership in this week, and I asked the same question.
The answer was that they currently have no plans to apply AI in PowerMill.
Everything you can do for automation at the moment relies on macros and plugins.
Feel free to email me, and I will share their contact information.

Did you inquire about the future of Powermill? Specifically, will it be replaced by Fusion and become unsupported?

Additionally, will future updates be more frequent and include new features, unlike what we’ve seen in the past two years?

Hi @iamcdn79 ,
Your question is great. I have already written an email to Autodesk about this and am waiting for the response.

AI is the latest buzzword for the new generation. Running a macro IS AI, and users have for doing it for decades.

No it's not. A macro simply makes a decision made on some criteria, a macro won't get better.

An AI makes decisions on what it has been learning, it gets better the more input you can give the AI.

Im not going to try to run hallucinated AI toolpaths on any of my machines.

Hi Srinivas, what you saw at Hwachoen is a solution that is in market for over a decade. The product is developed by NCBRAIN in collaboration with Hwachoen. There is no standard solution similar to that in Autodesk Powermill.
