Q: What
is SURFCAM? A: SURFCAM is
a powerful PC-based Computer-Aided Machining (CAD/CAM) software
system that provides students with the means to learn tool path
generation and learn CNC programming techniques for 2-, 3-, 4-,
and 5-axis machining.
SURFCAM supports product design and computerized
numerical control (CNC) programming of multi-axis mills, lathes,
mill/turn machines, wire EDM machines, laser cutters, plasma cutters,
and water-jet machines.
Q: How
does SURFCAM compare to other CAM programs? A: Unlike other
educational CAM packages, SURFCAM provides only the current-commercial
version to educators, which means that your students are ready to
take on industry with the SURFCAM experience they take from your
classroom.
Q: Is
SURFCAM easy-to-learn and use? A: Yes. SURFCAM’s
easy-to-learn interface allows for a short learning curve. Instructors
spend less time teaching the software interface and students learn
more in less time. In SURFCAM, toolpaths are also verified in 3D!
Q: Does
SURFCAM have a short learning curve? A: Yes. With
SURFCAM, you have a familiar Windows look and feel, which allows
for a shorter learning curve.
