2.5- and 3-axis milling
programming
Production of body parts, mold&dies and any other parts on a 3-axis milling machine.
It’s easy to get a toolpath in SprutCAM
In SprutCAM you get the first toolpath without setting any parameters at all.
After that, you can play with parameters, visually controlling the result.

3-axis milling in SprutCAM
Remove material quickly
The new “Adaptive” strategy for high-speed machining. Used for fast material removal. Rapid calculation and kinder on the tool.
3-axis milling in SprutCAM
Get the required surface quality
Comprehensive finishing toolpath strategies including scallop and morph will help you to obtain the desired surface finish.

Collision control during toolpath calculation
SprutCAM takes into an account real machine kinematic limitations for initial toolpath calculation. There is no need for postprocessing and separate simulation for collision and axis limits control.
3-axis machining time-savers
Save time with automatic rest material machining
Rest machining removes material that a previous tool or operation could not remove.
In SprutCAM areas for rest machining are detected automatically. Thus SprutCAM saves machinist’s time for toolpath creation and the machine time
Primarily useful for freeform surfaces machining.
Save time with automatic “select same diameter” feature for holes machining
Select a set of holes with one click and run toolpath calculation. Huge time-saver for parts with large number of holes.
For example part for heat exchangers can contain 2000 holes each. This automation saves hours for CNC machinist.
Save time with automatic flat faces detection
Automatic flat faces detection makes additional passes for all flat faces within the machining area. Additional machining of flat faces during roughing waterline are not required.
