Easy Thread
Has been developed for the Easy, Fast & Efficient production of any type of Standard and Non Standard, verified thread cutting CNC cycles. After production of the CNC cycle the Dolphin Simulator can be employed for the verification process . The required thread can be produced by use of the CNC G Codes on a CNC Machine Tool or by use of the Simulation stock model on a 3D Printer.

Supported Thread Types
EasyThread supports the cutting of three types of Thread each of which offer a number of options for design of the resultant tool path. EasyThread designs may be used for CNC machining of the thread forms or 3D printing of the threaded parts.
Thread Types supported are :-
1) External Parallel
2) External Tapered
3) Internal Parallel
4) Internal Tapered
5) Fusee
External Threads
External Threads may be parallel or taper types, see diagrams below :-
External Parallel
External Taper (3 deg Taper)
Internal Threads
Internal Threads may be parallel or taper types, see diagrams below :-
Internal Parallel
Internal Taper (3 deg Taper)
Fusee Threads
Fusee Threads are normally used in Horological applications and involve the cutting of a thread groove upwardly around a curved / conical stock bar, see diagrams below :-
