Overview of ESPRIT EDGE 2025.1 ESPRIT EDGE 2025.1 is a minor update in the ESPRIT EDGE series, developed by Hexagon’s Production Software division (formerly DP Technology). ESPRIT EDGE is an advanced, AI-powered CAD/CAM software for CNC programming, optimized for mills, lathes, Swiss-type machines, turn-mill centers, and additive/hybrid manufacturing. It leverages a digital twin for precise simulation, reducing cycle times by up to 60% and enhancing tool life through adaptive machining strategies. The 2025.1 release, launched in early September 2025, focuses on workflow stability, 5-axis enhancements, and Swiss-type machine support, building on the 2025 baseline’s AI integrations like ProPlanAI (fully rolled out in 2025.2). As of September 25, 2025, it is the latest stable patch before 2025.2, accessible via Hexagon’s Nexus...

ESPRIT EDGE is the evolution of ESPRIT TNG, combining the DNA of EDGECAM and ESPRIT that offers significant benefits for CNC machine tool programming, including improved efficiency, precision, and automation in the manufacturing process. ESPRIT SolidMill® is a full-spectrum suite of milling cycles for facing, roughing, contouring and finishing, and hole making. With ESPRIT’s Modeless Programming™, these cycles are universally available on any class of CNC machine: vertical, horizontal, and gantry mills, millturn, and lathes — including Swiss-type. With SolidMill cycles, quickly generate efficient milling toolpaths while keeping extensive control over the movements of the cutting tool, supporting unique requirements of individual parts. Automatic calculation of the stock allows the system to generate efficient toolpaths while avoiding tool breakage and...
