NCG CAM HSM CAM software is a stand-alone CAM system that integrates with existing CAD and CAM systems. NCG CAM boasts many innovative features including automatic 3D roughing. This is suitable for all types of forms, creating an optimized, smooth cutter motion for HSM machining, while helping to extend tool life, minimizing wear on the machine tool and producing parts with excellent surface finish. The main features of the software are: Automatic 3D Roughing - Z-Level Waterline Machining Using Surface Contact Angles - Raster (Planar) Pass Machining Using Surface Contact Angles - Spiral and Radial Machining - Horizontal Area Machining of Flat Surfaces Only - Pencil and Parallel Pencil Milling - Morph and Boundary Machining - Automatic Rest Machining - 3D Constant Offset & Corner Offset Machining - Core Roughing - Perpendicular Raster Machining - Variable Feed Rate Control - Advanced Drilling Routines - 3 + 2 Axis Machining - Stock Models - Customizable tool holders - Fully gouge-protected toolpaths - Simultaneous 5-axis add-on module for mold and die - NCG CAM has a very user-friendly interface, with a typical learning curve of just 1 day required to machine a live job.
