Equipment safety: collision control during toolpath calculation
SprutCAM takes into account machine the axes limits 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.
