| madCAM Version: | |
madCAM the 3D CAM plug-in for Rhinoceros®
Gives the operator the ability to perform both modeling and toolpath creation inside Rhino 3D.
3D CAM for CNC-milling machines. All menus for controlling madCAM and generated toolpaths are inside Rhinoceros® and stored together with your model. Developed for toolmaking (Mould And Die) as well as for prototype productions. madCAM generates a non-collision toolpath with excellent cutting action. Used where demand for accuracy and perfect surface smoothness is required.
Meant for the NC-operator who demands an easy-to-use and efficient system. It facilitates effective manufacturing in a short period of time. The operator is provided with clarified results of chosen parameters. Handles all 3d- models that Rhinoceros can handle and is able to generate NC-codes to all kinds of milling machines. A built-in post processor is adaptable for different kinds of controlling systems.
