Programming


CAM Programming software is an essential link in the manufacturing process.  We use the latest technology in CAM software to ensure accuracy and superior surface finishing on all our molds. We have maintenance contracts on all our software which keeps us up to date.  This allows us to take advantage of the latest upgrades and enhancements.

Mastercam

Mastercam gives the best possible foundation for fast and efficient milling. From general purpose methods such as optimized pocketing to highly specialized toolpaths.

Mastercams key features include:

  • Full 3D CAD modeling.
  • Easy pocketing, contouring and drilling.
  • Feature-based 2D programming.
  • Robust 3D solids and surface machining.
  • Powerful multi-axis cutting.
  • Specialized options for focused projects.

Surfcam

Surfcam is a market leading computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system for NC part programming. With unparalleled ease of use and sophisticated toolpath generation.  Surfcam’s 3 Axis system provides the combination of powerful functionality coupled with ease of use. Surfcam delivers efficient, reliable toolpaths on even the most complex of surface geometry. Its high-speed machining strategies feature fast processing, minimal rapid moves and optimized tool motion all of which provide the highest quality surface finishes.

Surfcams key features include:

  • High-speed optimized roughing and finishing strategies that feature smooth, fluid toolpaths that reduce the load on tools and machines
  • Fast processing using newly developed algorithms, taking advantage of multiple processors to provide efficient calculations on complex part geometry
  • High-speed linking which reduces overall cycle time and optimizes machine motion by minimizing rapid moves and eliminating abrupt changes in direction
  • Unparalleled surface finishes that increase productivity by reducing secondary machining processes
  • Optional 3 Axis TRUEMill roughing strategy
