CAD / CAM software for 5-axis machining
SURFCAM 4/5-Axis SURFWARE

SURFCAM offers true simultaneous 4- and 5-axis machining, full visualization and verification. This enables the NC programmer to gain precise control over every aspect of multi-axis machining, ensuring safe tool motion in the most challenging applications. 4/5-Axis provides support for all standard tools with collision checking, avoidance, toolpath containment -- and more.

4/5-Axis Product highlights include: Milling Software Velocity Powered by TrueMill

New Gouge Avoidance Strategies

SURFCAM allows the user to specify not one, but four different cascading tool gouge strategies that can be applied to a single operation. In addition, up to four separate check surface groups can be selected and individual gouge avoidance strategies can be applied to each successive group allowing the user precise control of the tool motion.
