SprutCAM — CAD/CAM software

We’ve recently moved over from Visual Mill Pro to SprutCAM X. SprutCAM X is lightening fast compared to our older CAM and infinitely more flexible. We’ve created our specific CNC machine in CAD format and imported it in SprutCAM X, then using the built in postprocessor generator, we create the postprocessor for our machine. The most remarkable thing in SprutCAM X is speed. Previously for many models VMPro would take over a night to read in a complex CAD model. Whereas for exactly the same model SprutCAM X does it in a blink.

There are no restrictions on the design or manufacturer of the machine and the CNC control in SprutCAM X. Here are some machine brands for which SprutCAM X was implemented.

At the Formula Student Team Delft, we have the pleasure of using SprutCAM X as our new CAM software for the production of the DUT14. Using the tutorials it was easy to program simple operations at first and gradually increase the difficulty towards 3-axis milling complex shapes. After 5 weeks of producing over 1500 parts, of which around 20 were done on our CNC, the production of the DUT4 was finished.

The decision was not an accident, this software is successfully operating in ‘Narzędziowcu’ from 2012. It is in narzędziowcu SprutCAM X software works under production conditions in terms of optimal technology and business strategy, and thanks to the professional cooperation with the supplier New Tech Solutions Sp. z.o.o. decided that from among the many programs – is this CAM has been selected.

Mr. Huber, the CEO of Styro 3D GmbH, shows with his milling example the possibilities offered by a milling robot with offline programming. According to his statement: “I am not an educated mechanic but I was able to operate the system within a few months and processed a number of orders”, it becomes clear how quickly a complex and easy-to-learn system can be implemented into a company.

This innovative program makes turning your designs into CNC language stunningly easy. With its high specification but intuitive feel you will be up and running any CNC machine quickly. Nearly everything you see on our bikes is made using this program.

We are users of CAD/CAM systems for 20 years. In this period, we tested more than 6 valued brands. Recently, we performed research with 5-axis milling. The prototype of a trunnion table with zero backlash was developed and tested with SprutCAM. The SprutCAM was the best acquisition for our 5-axis applications. Featuring the ability to compute and simulate nontrivial kinematics. The SprutCAM postprocessor only defines the syntax of CNC program, without performing geometric calculations as inverse kinematics and linearization. The postprocessor is seen here, as a kind of translator. This new approach reduces the possibility of errors in postprocessing.

I have been using SprutCAM X since mid 2007. I had the chance to test many CAM programs before this one and ALWAYS ended up with the feeling the program could be improved or some features I wanted were missing. Until I tried SprutCAM X!!!!! From day one I realized this was the one. Along the years the program has evolved to a very sofisticated level. I recommend it to everyone. The only Con in my opinion is the manual which could be improved. However with the advent of Youtube just about every sample needed can be found. Support is quick and efficient. No complaints whatsoever. The way every program should be.

The world of CAD and CAM software continues to change with the end result of giving users more value and capabilities for less money. When I first used CAM software the cost was over .25 million for the system. With SprutCAM X, I could literally and figuratively cut circles around those first accomplishments in far less time. I have been pleasantly surprised to find that SprutCAM X not only has proven to be very reliable in its output, the value for the costs are outstanding. Every CAM system has its pros and cons, but I have found that SprutCAM X has very few cons which is a great accomplishment for all involved in its creation. Thanks.

I have been evaluating SprutCAM X and feel it is an ideal program to teach new CNC users. The latest version is great, easy to use and very powerful.

After using SprutCAM X Expert for a short period i feel confident i can recommend it to other cnc operators because of its ease of use, good support,good price and ability to read solid edge models and produce error free code. To be more specific about support. I was sent a post processor for my controller within 2 days after sending a sample program. Other good points: operations can be saved and used again on similar jobs with new geometry. Also by just ticking 3 boxes programs can be output with smooth arcs in G17 G18 G19 planes. Another good feature is the ability to recognize holes in solid models.

We had looked at several different 3D systems, but decided on SprutCAM X because of its ease of use. In fact, it is so easy that we didn’t require any formal training! In our line of business, which is the manufacture of specialized automation equipment, our designs are call for very complex 3D machining, and SprutCAM X has allowed us to do the work in-house, at a fraction of the cost of other systems we had looked.
