SURFCAM

SURFCAM is a market leading computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system for NC part programming. With unparalleled ease of use and sophisticated toolpath generation, it’s the only CAM system you’ll need for milling, turning and mill-turn machining.

SURFCAM utilizes your in house knowledge and experience to drive the CAM process with automation tools to suit different applications - allowing you to maintain your competitive edge.

SURFCAM Milling

SURFCAM provides functionality to generate efficient toolpaths from wireframe and solid geometry on a variety of machine tool configurations, ranging from 2.5 axis to complex 3 to 5 axis milling machines.

SURFCAM Turning

SURFCAM Turning provides functionality for a wide range of machine tools, including 2-axis lathes, multi-turret configurations, subspindle turning centers and mill/turn machines. SURFCAM produces advanced rough (Waveform) and finish turning cycles, together with support for facing, boring and drilling.

SURFCAM Mill/Turn

SURFCAM seamlessly integrates 4 and 5 axis simultaneous machining within its milling and mill/turn environment to allow a range of multiaxis cutting strategies to be applied to the most complex tooling or components.

SURFCAM Waveform

Waveform roughing strategy is a high speed machining technique that maintains a constant tool cutting load by ensuring the tool engagement into the material is consistent. The tool path moves in a smooth path to avoid sharp changes in direction which maintains the machine tool’s velocity.

SURFCAM Wire EDM

SURFCAM’s Wire EDM is an efficient addition to its world class milling, turning, and turn/mill CAM software solution, providing greater productivity and increased flexibility through a single source solution provider.

SURFCAM Intelligent Manufacturing

Intelligent Manufacturing is enabled by SURFCAM Solid Machinist for native loading of solid CAD files and Feature Recognition, and SURFCAM Strategy Manager for applying proven manufacturing processes to the CAD features.
