BobCAD-CAM Mill brings you a wide range of major enhancements in  CAD Design, CAM & Machining with 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-axis milling operations, Laser / Plasma / Waterjet Posting & Pocketing / Profiling Optimisation control.

The latest BobCAD-CAM software allows you to quickly design or import parts and generate toolpaths for G-code programming. Known for being one of the most intuitive CAD/CAM systems available, BobCAD-CAM is also modular which means that you can add machining capabilities as you need them. This allows us to provide CAD/CAM software for every shop that can be used without delay starting with simple drilling and 2D machining through to basic 3D operations and on up to advanced 3D machining for highly complex parts.

The modules include:

  • 2D Milling
  • 3D Milling Standard
  • 3D Milling Pro
  • 4 Axis Milling Standard
  • 4 Axis Milling Pro
  • 5 Axis Milling Standard
  • 5 Axis Milling Pro

All of our CAD/CAM systems come in 32 & 64-bit to take advantage of your hardware resources and allow you to create efficient toolpaths faster. All of our products are backed by quality support and effective training to help you achieve success Faster, Smarter & Easier. The low price is simply an added benefit! With an intuitive software interface that offers customisable toolbars, on the fly geometry editing capabilities and so much more, learning to use this system is easy. All toolpaths are fully associative meaning that if you make a change to the part, the toolpaths are easily updated eliminating costly errors and giving you control in your jobs. The CAM Tree Manager allows you full control over your job, how you require the program to be posted to the machine tool and allows you to save and reload machining features which in turn can save time.

FEATURES

The machining process is focused on giving you control over your jobs including all aspects of our multi-tool drilling, 2-axis, 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis machining features while still maintaining all of the necessary automation in CAM programming. Machining Wizards make cutting parts easier and faster. Wizards remove the guesswork by stepping you through the process of creating toolpath features. Each Wizard contains customisable options that include setting up tools for roughing and finishing, optimising speeds and feeds, choosing Lead-ins/Lead-outs for the tool, material entry options, cutting depth control, toolpath linking and more.

The following list of features gives you an idea of what BobCAD-CAM can do for your design & manufacturing requirements.
