Software features interleaved toolpath.
FeatureCAM delivers Interleaved Spiral toolpath that uses single pass technique for finishing complex surfaces. Toolpath intelligently applies spiral cutting passes that are interleaved between Z levels based on desired scallop height and shape of part. FeatureCAM analyzes slope and shape of part surfaces and then uses scallop height constraint to calculate whether spiraling passes are needed...

CAD/CAM Software has toolpath for high-speed machining.
FeatureCAM 2005 incorporates Curly Corner Toolpath, which allows high speeds to be maintained with consistent cutter load by using trochoid path. It adjusts maximum tool load in proportion to stepover size for optimum performance and eliminates sharp transitions in cutter direction for consistent load and speed through corners and slots. Tool moves forward in swirling motion around corners,...

Using feature-based CNC programming technology, FeatureCAM enables automation in CNC programming via one-button Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR). Software automatically recognizes every feature on imported solids and creates associative features used to automatically generate toolpaths using user's CNC programming preferences. If solid model is changed, associative features and tool paths are...

CAM Software offers user-defined features.
FeatureCAM v10 can be tailored to customer's specific design requirements. It automatically creates operations from part features containing all necessary machining parameters. As well as defining shapes, features also contain machining operations required to achieve shape. User can decide which dimensions are updated when user-defined feature (UDF) is created. FeatureCAM automatically selects...

EDM Software designs parts using dies and punches.
FeatureWIRE is programming for 2-axis, 2-axis taper, and full 4-axis wire EDM. Based on features selected, knowledge-based technology automatically provides operations needed for cutting strategies and retrieves cutting conditions from incorporated database. FeatureWIRE then generates toolpaths, produces operation sheets for documentation, provides full-color graphical simulation, and creates NC...
