Welcome to VisualCAM and thank you for choosing one of most powerful, easy to use and complete CAM packages on the market today. VisualCAM is the CAM plug-in that runs inside of VisualCAD. Plug-ins can be considered as independent applications that can be loaded and unloaded on demand from the host CAD program, which in this case is VisualCAD.
This fully integrated VisualCAM plug-in seamlessly integrates VisualCAD’s CAD functionality with downstream application modules such as MILL and TURN, that target Milling and Turning CNC machines. Other modules include NEST, Profile-NEST, ART and G-CODE Editor. NEST is used for parts nesting, Profile-NEST is used for nesting profiling toolpaths, ART is used to create 3D and 2D geometry using bitmap files. G-CODE Editor is VisualCAM's very own g-code editing module.

You can work with native VisualCAD data as well as use any of the data types that can be imported into VisualCAD. Then you can use VisualCAM with its wide selection of tools and toolpath strategies to create machining operations and associated toolpaths. These toolpaths can then be simulated and verified, and finally post-processed to the controller of your choice. |
