CAD / CAM software for 3-axis milling
TEBIS

Tebis V3.3 was the first version to provide the Tube Milling CAM module for milling bent intake and discharge ducts. The key feature of this module is that it generates 3-axis roughing and finishing paths for key and ball-end cutters. The special geometry of these cutters enables complete processing of curved tubes.

Tubes that are particularly long with sharp bends are divided into two sides for machining purposes. The tubes can be machined either horizontally or vertically using climb cuts, conventional cuts and lacing techniques. Horizontal machining produces a helical path with the down-cutting and up-cutting strategies.
