ALPHACAM Features
ALPHACAM Core
This foundational module provides essential manufacturing functionality, including CAD importing, toolpath generation, simulation, and reporting. It serves as the base platform, allowing you to add specialized "multipliers" to build a custom CAM solution.
ALPHACAM xPositional
This multiplier is for manufacturers with 4/5-axis machinery who do not need complex simultaneous motion. It unlocks an additional axis, allowing you to program your machine to cut from any angle (3+2 axis machining).
Efficient And Safe 5-Axis Tool Paths
ALPHACAM allows head-mounted rotary axes on CNC routers to be programmed in any orientation. Both programmable rotary axes with manual tilt and fully interpolating 5-axis heads are supported. Safe rapid movements between planes are automatically monitored and verified through advanced solid simulation
