How to convert BREP
to Powermill?

A Brep file is a 3D model stored in the boundary representation (also known as B-rep). The Brep format is a part of Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT).

The Brep structure is made up of two major components:

• topological components such as faces, vertices, and edges;
• links between components such as surfaces, points, and curves.

It comprises three-dimensional data such as vertices, edges, wires, faces, shells, solids, compounds, edge and face triangulations, polylines on triangulations, space location, and orientation.

Powermill is a 3D Computer-aided manufacturing app developed by Autodesk Inc. It runs on Microsoft Windows and is used in many different engineering industries to determine optimal toolpaths to reduce time and manufacturing costs.

Powermill rapidly creates toolpaths on large, complex parts, works with surfaces, solids and STL meshes. It uses efficient roughing strategies and can create gouge and collision free toolpaths, which can be edited and optimized. The software obtains comprehensive range of finishing toolpaths, user-defined macros and templates for automated CAM, extensive library of tool types for use with 3- and 5-axis milling, and specialist tools for demanding industries and applications.
