EZ-CAM
EZ-CAM was one of the first PC based CAM systems to enter the market in 1982. To this day it continues to offer innovative, productive, affordable manufacturing solutions. From simple and easy to use 2 axis milling and turning to full 3 and 4 axis Milling, Mill/Turn, 5 axis Wire EDM and arc G-code Optimization. Following a very positive reception for the ALIBRE CAD Add-In that we introduced in EZ-CAM V2020, we’ve further extended EZ-CAM’s CAD connectivity by creating a similar direct Add-In for the world-leading CAD System, SOLIDWORKS. Worksteps created by the “Contour”, “Pocket” and “Face” wizards can now be edited using the same wizard dialogs. Of course, the full set of parameters and settings are always available via the “Advanced” button. The new “Select Tool” option provides access to EZCAM’s tool library, while additional toolpath and cycle options ease the usage of EZCAM’s various toolpath combinations.

CAD6industrie
CAD6industrie is the comprehensive 2D/3D CAD/CAM solution for industrial use. In addition to to the full range of functions of CAD6studio, including SMART2D Technology, it also contains a CAM plug-in and a universal, script-based post-processor for the flexible and efficient generation of CNC data for machine controllers.
The CAM plug-in supports the following machining procedures: milling, drilling, turning, water jet cutting, laser cutting, as well as cutting, plotting, and positioning.
Commands like milling cutter compensation, pocket milling, milling order control, milling time calculation and a graphical 3D preview let you create drawings that are directly milled later. Extensive tool and machine settings, plus output of custom commands (such as cycles or sub-programs) by means of symbols, give you the complete control over what the post-processors finally output to the machine.
All programs of the CAD6 series are 100% data-compatible.
