Award-winning TrueMill® is the patented toolpath technology that dramatically increases manufacturing efficiency. TrueMill accomplishes this by
managing the cutting tool's engagement with the material, thus achieving material removal rates that are two or more times higher than conventional high speed machining for roughing operations,
greatly extending tool life and significantly increasing profitability. Surfware co-founder Alan Diehl and mathematician Pat Patterson are the principal co-inventors of TrueMill.
