What is 3D 5-axis cutting used for?

3D 5-axis cutting is used for processing formed, stamped, hydroformed, and other complex three-dimensional parts where the cutting tool must follow the geometry and orientation of the component.

Does the software provide collision detection and simulation?

Yes. The software provides simulation and collision-management capabilities to help validate complex cutting operations before the NC program is sent to the machine.

Can the software be configured for different machine brands?

Yes. The CAD/CAM solution can be adapted to different machine technologies and configurations through dedicated post-processors and machine-specific programming requirements.
