Bobcad - CAD/CAM Modules

CAD/CAM Modules

It should not be assumed that all features on any given model of machine are supported by BobCAD. It is the users responsibility to determine, prior to sale, if particular features of a given machine will be used by BobCAD, and what additional effort may be required to do so. For example, it is possible to draw a turned part with tapped holes situated perpendicular to the main axis, however; what is meant by 'supported' is subject to interpretation. While it may be possible to make some machine functions operable with some effort, such as live tooling on a lathe, the degree of difficulty varies, and technically, live tooling support for lathe is not provided. BobCAD-CAM software is modular. Meaning that a CNC business can implement a core 2 & 3 axis milling software and "add-on" to it as the business grows and needs higher levels of machining tool path capabilities. The 3 Axis CNC Software has a Standard and Professional version. There are also Standard and PRO versions for 4 Axis CNC Milling as well as the 5 Axis CNC Milling CAD/CAM. The 2013 Multiaxis CAD/CAM Software offers the first High-Speed Adaptive Roughing tool path strategy in the world for simultaneous 5 Axis CNC Milling. SWARF Milling along with 7 Surface-Based cutting toolpath machining strategies have also been developed into the Multiaxis CAD/CAM Software. CNC Software modules are available for:

• Mill
• Lathe
• Wire EDM
• Art (Raster-to-vector)
• Nesting
• Predator Simulation and CNC Edit

BobCAD-CAM also offers 2 other unique products for the Design & CNC machining world. The DXF ClipART series with over 6000 individual DXF files and the Machinist Toolbox software calculator.
