and post process NC code. Tutorial projects are provided with step-by-step
instructions throughout to make learning SURFCAM Velocity version
3.0 simple and straightforward.
“SURFCAM Velocity is one of the most powerful CAD/CAM software
programs you can use to design parts, simple or complex, and generate
the toolpaths to machine them. SURFCAM software has gained its popularity
in the industry over the last two decades due to its extensive capabilities
and ease of use. Our SURFCAM Velocity text is the best guide you
can use to effectively utilize SURFCAM Velocity version 3.0 and
maximize the power of SURFCAM to your advantage.” said Dr.
Dave Zamora, co-author of Maximizing SURFCAM Velocity.
