Surfware is said to be an affordable, easy-to-use, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solution for companies that need advanced surface design tools combined with three- and five-axis machining capabilities.
Based on industrial requirements defined in coordination with leading automotive and aero-space companies, this application provides advanced surface modeling for creating complex designs, and three-, four- and five-axis NC programming on milling machines and multi-axis machining centers.
Parts defined by multiple surfaces can be machined in one operation by generating straight-line cutting tool motions across different surfaces. Advanced collision ...
