Machining Strategist 2020.1

Introduction to Machining Strategist 2020.1

Machining Strategist 2020.1 is a powerful 3D CAM product designed to generate optimal roughing and finishing CNC toolpaths from complex shapes created by major 3D modelling systems. With the need for shorter lead times and higher quality, High-Speed Machining (HSM) has become common in mold, tool, and die shops for machining hard materials at increased feed rates.

Overview

Machining Strategist is a technological leader in the CAM industry, offering unique machining strategies to create world-class machining programs. It can enhance the productivity of older CNC machines by reducing air cutting time and creating programs with smooth arcs that maintain continuous machine tool motion.

Whether installed in a CAD/CAM office or on the shop floor, Machining Strategist can elevate your machining capabilities and productivity levels.
