It is easy to create a machining path in SprutCAM PDM.

3 axis milling in SprutCAM PDM
Fast material removal
For a fast material removal the new "Adaptive" strategy is used, which is based on the tool geometry and includes not only the fastest method, but also searches for the most optimal solution for the tool path calculation.

Time saving in 3-axis machining
Time saving through automatic rest material processing
Rest material machining removes material that could not be removed with an earlier tool or operation.
In SprutCAM, areas for rest machining are automatically detected. In this way SprutCAM PDM saves the operator not only time for creating toolpaths but also time for machining.
Especially useful for free-form surface machining.
Save time with the automatic "drill diameter detection" function
Select a set of holes with one click and simultaneously generate the calculation of the tool paths. Enormous time savings for workpieces with a large number of holes.
For example, a part for heat exchangers can contain 2000 holes. This automation saves the operator hours.
Time saving through automatic detection of flat surfaces
The automatic flat surface detection performs the additional passes for all flat surfaces in the Z-plane machining area. No additional toolpaths are required for the surfaces between the steps of the Z constant operation.
