What does CIMCO Filter do to an NC program?

Updated

CIMCO FilterNC optimization

Direct answer

CIMCO Filter can replace suitable sequences of short linear moves with arcs that stay within a defined tolerance. For compatible work, that can reduce program size and create smoother motion. It is an optimization step—not a substitute for proving the program and confirming that the control supports the resulting arc format.

Practical checkpoint

Filter a copy, compare it with the original, backplot both, confirm the active plane and tolerance, and prove the result safely at the machine before production use.
