Increase precisionfor even the mostcomplex parts

Major Benefits

Overview

Setup Faces 1 ... 1 ...PartMaker SwissCAMs Patented Visual Programming approachlets you break a complex part into a set of planar and rotaryfaces. Machining functions, such as turning, plane milling andcylinder milling are carried out separately for each face in an

intuitive manner.

Draw Geometry2 ...2 ...Part design can be prepared quicklyand easily in an integrated drawingpackage or geometry can be importedfrom other CAD systems.

Prepare Tools3 ...3 ...A tools database manages usage of gang, turret, back working and endworking tools and automaticallysets "toolshifts" required for Swissmachining. Feeds and speeds for eachtool are calculated automatically.
