CAM-TOOL is a five-axis-control-machining-center compatible, high-end CAD/CAM system with a hybrid CAM engine (Polygon and Surface Calculation). This Hybrid capability enables direct machining to be applied to materials with a high degree of hardness. In addition, CAM TOOL provides a superior surface finish, longer tool life, reduced machining time and finishing time.

Advanced user of CAM-TOOLCAM-Tool generates very accurate & smooth Die/Mold tool paths very efficiently. It generates tool paths based on the actual surface & not on some polygon rendering that needs to be tweaked to get the polygon bumps down to the smoothness required. I have tried other Die/Mold CAM programs to generate the same code would take hours to generate while CAM-Tool does it in mere minutes. I have used the software for over a decade & have rarely had to edit any NC code. CAM-Tool is able to calculate up to eight separate tool paths concurrently. Most tool paths are not directly related to the previous, thus not require any recalculation of later strategies. Very rarely does this software crash.
CAM-Tool is designed for milling machines only. Any lathe type machine would require manual programming the turning operations, or another CAM software to generate the turning tool paths. Software is geared toward smaller parts, so rendering large parts can be time consuming. CAM-Tool creates a stock model for each optimized tool path. These stock models can quickly fill a hard drive.
Direct milling of harden tool steels up to 65 Rc. Nearly polish free surface finishes off the mill. Reduced the amount of EDM work to a minimum. Reliable, edit free NC code. Three to five axis simultaneous milling with full machine verification.
