What Is CAM-TOOL Software?

CAM-TOOL is an advanced CAD/CAM software designed for high-precision manufacturing, primarily serving the mold and die industries. It uniquely combines polygon and surface calculation engines in a hybrid CAM system, enabling direct machining of highly hard materials, including carbide. This results in superior part accuracy and a significant reduction in post-machining processes like EDM and spotting. The software focuses on generating smooth, accurate NC code, making it a powerful solution for complex 5-axis and high-speed CNC operations.

CAM-TOOL Pricing

CAM-TOOL uses a quote-based pricing model tailored to high-precision manufacturing needs. Costs depend on selected modules, user count, and integration requirements. Users can request a personalized CAM-TOOL cost quote.

CAM-TOOL Integrations

The software supports integration with multiple systems like CNC Machine Controllers. Watch the CAM-TOOL demo to explore these integrations in detail.

Who Is CAM-TOOL For?

CAM-TOOL software is ideal for professionals across various industries, including:

  • Mold and die manufacturers
  • Aerospace component producers
  • Automotive and medical part manufacturers
  • High-precision CNC workshops

Is CAM-TOOL Right For You?

If your manufacturing requires extreme accuracy for hard steel and complex 5-axis parts, CAM-TOOL is an excellent choice.

CAM-TOOL Features

This unique calculation system combines polygon and surface data, allowing for direct, highly accurate machining of extremely hard materials up to and exceeding 60 Rockwell C. This dual-engine approach ensures maximum geometric integrity throughout the toolpath generation process, which is essential for high-end mold and die work.

See How It Works

CAM-TOOL offers comprehensive functionality for simultaneous 5-axis high-speed milling. This capability is fully integrated to allow for optimal tool presentation and reduced cycle times. It includes advanced gouge checking and machine simulation to prevent collisions and ensure a worry-free, complex machining process.

See How It Works

This system offsets the NC code directly from the model's surfaces, guaranteeing smooth, precise tool paths true to the original design. This accuracy translates directly into superior mirror-like finishes from the CNC machine, drastically reducing or eliminating the need for hand-polishing.

See How It Works

This feature optimizes tool movement and cutting conditions to maintain stability at high speeds. It automatically adjusts feed rates and toolpaths to prevent vibration and reduce load, ensuring consistent precision and smoother finishes while extending tool life during demanding machining operations.
