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.

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.

Tool holder collision control

Tool holder collisions handling during toolpath calculation.

Moving parts collision control

Possible collisions between moving machine parts and with the workpiece are handled automatically during toolpath calculation.

Axis limits control

Axis limits are considered during toolpath calculation.

The new 2.5D Contouring operation

A new 2.5D Contouring operation has been added, arranged on the same principle as the well-known 2D Contouring operation. Its key difference is that in one operation you can machine several curves or vertical walls located at different heights at once.

3-axis machining time-savers

Automatic rest material removal, hole recognition, flat faces detection

SprutCAM save your time with automatic work

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.

Automatic select same diameter in SprutCAM

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.
