Mill-turn: milling and turning programming in one project
SprutCAM for mill-turn is a complete multi-tasking CNC programming software for all-in-one machining in a single setup
Mill-turn machining in SprutCAM
Turn-mill toolpath calculation in SprutCAM
Workpiece and the machine scheme are considered during toolpath calculation for every operation
Streamline CNC programming workflow with SprutCAM
SprutCAM calculates lathe toolpaths using the native kinematics of the CNC machine.
What does this mean to the user?
This means that collisions between machine axes as well as the workpiece are handled automatically during toolpath calculation.
You do not need to postprocess the NC code to simulate the real-world result. All machine movements are visible immediately after the toolpath calculation.
CNC programming becomes visual, the workflow is streamlined.
The user can view the workpiece throughout the machining process
SprutCAM can perform turning and milling toolpaths in any order. The workpiece for each subsequent operation is the result of all the previous ones. You can see the current state of the workpiece at every step.
In the screenshot; green color is the part itself and orange is the result of all previous operations. This becomes the workpiece for the next operation.

Features for mill-turn
C and Y axes support
Use C and Y axes for machining in the main spindle or counter-spindle, on the part OD and on the part face.
B-axis support
Index milling of the part in inclined planes and 5-axis machining using all machine axes.
Polar interpolation support
If the movement range along the Y-axis is very tight, or no Y-axis is available, the polar interpolation option can be enabled in SprutCAM. Then the displacement along Y will be replaced by the C-axis.
Auxiliary operations programming
Part takeover, long parts machining using two spindles, steady, tailstock, bar feeders, parts catchers, workpiece loaders can be programmed in SprutCAM.
