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.
