CAD/CAM Software
Computer-aided design (CAD) software and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software is used to design and manufacture prototype parts, finished products, and production runs. An integrated CAD/CAM system uses CAD software to design models and assemblies of a product and interface with CAM software that references and applies those models and assemblies created in the CAD software to program specific manufacturing processes, perform functional simulation that optimizes each process step, then drive the machine tools used to produce physical parts from the product designs.
Multi-Axis Machines Open the Door to Countless Possibilities
The speed, versatility, flexibility and precision of multi-axis machines supports a wide range of industries and part sizes.

Different types of CNC machines will appear in smart factories. Here’s what you need to know about upgrading and updating your machines.
Shops of all sizes are embracing automation and robotics systems and benefiting from major productivity gains with existing staff.
The full-scale rolling-model was designed by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, precision built by ADM Works, and featured extensive use of Verisurf’s metrology software.
Expanded efficiencies built into turning centers and lathes result in productivity increases for shops of all sizes.
The M8 Series CNC now offers an Oscillation Cutting Option called Vibration Cutting Control, allowing for CNC lathes and mills to eliminate buildup of metal strands thus reducing obstructions in the tool path while machining parts.
Mapping the development process with Siemens’ SINUMERIK ONE, the first digital native CNC, reduces product development and time-to-market.
The latest OPEN MIND Technologies hyperMill software suite provides powerful programming strategies and a variety of enhancements.
