High Performance CAD-CAM for CNC Laser, Plasma, & WaterJet Machines

BobCAD-CAM CNC programming software for laser, plasma, and waterjet machines offers powerful 2-5 axis cutting capabilities with a fully integrated CAD system that allows you to transition seamlessly from creating your part model to assigning advanced toolpath strategies for your g-code programming. The CAD-CAM software offers a variety of tool options to give you complete control over how your parts are cut.

NEW FEATURE: JOB TREE TEMPLATES

Shortcut your setup time with BobCAD’s new Job Tree Templates. Automatically load user defined stock size , origin and standard machining features all a single mouse click.

LASER, PLASMA & WATERJET FEATURES

CAD-CAM software for CNC laser, plasma, and waterjet machines delivers the power you need to machine everything from simple 2 axis to complex multiaxis part cutting. It incorporates a full range of sophisticated and fully associative machining strategies through a simple wizard-driven interface to make programming quicker and easier, even for new and occasional users. Dynamic Machining Strategies™ offers a reduction in programming time by allowing you to assign multiple machining strategies to a single feature while advanced simulation functionality lets you test and confirm your work to give you the peace of mind in your CNC programming.

CAM Tree Enhancements

New workflow improves productivity, providing a better user experience for optimizing Shape Cutting Cycles for Laster Plasma Waterjet toolpath creation. Post and run faster with V34s new and improved CAM Tree navigation and workflow.

Backplot Visibility

Step through your toolpath using backplot, a graphic aid to which helps you understand where the tool starts, what direction its cutting and more. Choose from 3 display modes with the option show or hide the holder and insert.

Corner Slowdown

Advanced federate mapping to slow cutting motion down as the tool approaches corners or sharp changes in the direction. Apply corner slowdown on internal corners, external corners or all corners and use custom settings to eliminate corner blowout or overloading your tools.

Shape Library

Quickly create common fabrication parts using one of BobCAD’s predefined shapes . Customize dimensions to bring your shape into size. Change it’s origin, reference location, flip in X or Y, even add a custom rotation value. Shapes are listed in the CAD history tree allowing users to make adjustments.
