Feature of CAM-TOOL
Elite CAD/CAM System for Mold & Die Makers
CAM-TOOL addresses the needs of the Manufacturing Tooling Industry. CAM-TOOL addresses the sophisticated requirements of Mold & Die builders by offering unparalleled functionality using our powerful NC programming strategies that simply do not exist in other systems.
CAM-TOOL has more than 35 years history and has supplied approximately 2,700 companies, and 5,500 licenses. As CAD/CAM company, we are not only developing software, but also evaluating our new functions by actual cutting. We have 2 CNC machines in our Machine Technology Center, and we can make cutting samples, and we can do benchmark tests there.
Whether you’re doing High Speed Machining or Hard Milling, CAM-TOOL’s integrated surfacing modeling and NC programming techniques allow the user to generate toolpath to run your NC machine “Safely & Unattended” while providing unparalleled finish quality.
Surface calculation and polygon calculation
CAM-TOOL has both unique surface calculation technology and common polygon calculation technology. It addresses various milling demands such as precision, surface roughness, cost-effectiveness, deep milling, hard materials. CAM-TOOL achieves high precision and optimal milling by unique algorithm of “Surface calculation”.
Highly efficient rough cutting by High feed radius cutter!!
“Z-level Rough Cutting with Multiple Tools (Round 2)” enables to prevent tool vibration and breakage of inserts by unique toolpath which has no partial contacts. It maximizes tool life and reduces cutting time even in machining hard materials.
Automatic recognition of remaining area!!
Efficient second roughing needs to recognize stock of previous process accurately. “Solid in previous process” recognizes remaining area automatically and creates efficient toolpaths. It recognizes the remaining area even from different direction.
Avoids interference for specified tooling shape!!
Using with shorter protruding length is the best for every work but in particular case such as large, deep and hard shape, CAM operators have to use longer tooling. Since “Avoid tooling interference” generates internal shape to avoid interference for the specified tooling, it enables to maximize the machining area with the shorter tooling.
“Smoothing” function for high-quality 5axis machining!!
Change of tool axis direction in simultaneous 5axis machining makes significant effect to surface quality. CAM-TOOL has “Smoothing” function to move the tilt and rotation axis gradually, as a result, it achieves ultra high quality surfaces.
Tool and holder catalogs from major japanese manufacturers are available!!
Interference check and avoid interference needs accurate tool and holder shape definition. CAM-TOOL has “Tooling Database” which manages tools and its cutting conditions, and holder from major japanese tool and holder manufacturer. Tool shank shape can be defined with multiple taper shank and radius shape. Catalog data can be download from our support site.
Own kernel’s surface is equipped for excellent shape processing peculiar to mold machining!!
CAM-TOOL employs surface modelers that are superior to CAM. It is equipped with various shape evaluation and curved surface processing functions for the shape processing peculiar to dies developed uniquely by the company, and the shape editing like solid modeling can be carried out on the surface, so it can quickly handle the advanced modeling for dies indispensable for machining.
