CAVE CREEK, AZ – Celeritive Technologies, Inc., developer of the ultra-high-performance toolpath engine VoluMill™, has a full slate of activities – including demonstrations, a technical presentation and several important announcements – for IMTS 2001 at McCormick Place in Chicago Sept. 13-18.

In its exhibit, Booth #W-1868, which it shares with tooling supplier Helical Solutions, Celeritive will be conducting continuous demonstrations of its revolutionary toolpath software. The patent-pending VoluMill technology generates toolpaths that produce a consistent material removal rate. Their smooth, flowing motion establishes and maintains ideal milling conditions in any part shape. Reduced forces on the spindle and cutting tool enable machining hardware to be safely utilized to its full capabilities. Uniform chip formation and excellent heat dissipation result in the heretofore unachievable combination of dramatically reduced cycle times and significantly extended cutting-tool life.

Glenn Coleman, one of the company’s founders and its chief product officer, will give a presentation entitled “Ultra-High-performance Toolpath Technology Can Transform U.S. Manufacturing” on Friday, Sept. 17 at 10 a.m. at a site to be determined. This presentation will include examples of how shops that use VoluMill are dramatically more productive and very competitive in the global market.

Celeritive also will conduct a press conference during which it will introduce VoluMill 3.5, as well as announce several key licensing agreements and joint development projects that will further the product’s positive influence on improving America’s productivity and competitiveness.

In addition, Celeritive and Helical will be sponsoring on-site broadcasts of the new favorite blog talk radio program “High-Speed Machining and High-Speed Milling Talk,” which will feature special guests from across the machining industry.

Celeritive Technologies, Inc. was founded to develop and market advanced productivity-improving CAD/CAM technologies. VoluMill™ is a patent-pending ultra high-performance toolpath engine that significantly increases machining productivity and tool life. VoluMill is a full-featured, 2- and 3-axis toolpath engine for any geometric configuration. For more information, visit the VoluMill web site at www.volumill.com.
