Key Features

Gives users 8 additional surface based toolpaths: Parallel Cuts, Cuts Along Curve, Morph Between 2 Curves, Parallel to Multiple Curves, Project Curves, Morph Between 2 Surfaces, Parallel to Surface, and Flowline. Flowline and blended toolpaths, along with the ability to do undercutting, gives users unsurpassed control and the best possible finishes.

Eliminates purchasing a licensed copy of the software for each individual workstation. Instead, licenses only need to be purchased based on the number of stations you may need active simultaneously. Those licenses are stored on the server and available from any connected station, unified by a single login and password.

Compatible with a large variety of file formats to give you the flexibility needed when working with client files. (DXF, DWG, IGES, STEP, SAT, 3DM, X_T, X_B, SLDPRT, STL)

BobCAD-CAM offers a large library of downloadable post processors that work with variety of machine types from many of the biggest machine manufacturers in the industry. Customize the post to fit your specific machine requirements or BobCAD-CAM can customize a post for you.

The BobCAD-CAM milling software offers a wide variety of powerful toolpath strategies to give you advanced control over how you target your part. Take full advantage of your CNC milling machine with adaptive high speed toolpaths, 4 & 5 axis simultaneous machining, and other advanced milling capabilities.

Utilize your machine’s configuration and kinematics to test and confirm your mill programming before ever cutting a chip. Use it to view the complete milling process, detect machined part deviations and collisions, calculate cycle times, and more!

BobCAD-CAM’s comprehensive milling solution allows you to program multiple machining centers and multiple part setups for a single job in the CAM tree. Easily create multiple setups in any part origin using BobCAD-CAM’s dynamic part origin to define the X, Y, and Z of your part.

Toolpaths in BobCAD-CAM support wireframe boundaries, surface edge loops, and constant Z profile to allow you to work directly off surface and solid models. The ability to define hole depths and pockets directly off selected surfaces provide enhanced control for shops working with wireframe drawings or surfaces and solids.
