CAD to CAM Add-In for Alphacam 1.0

CAD to CAM Add-In for Alphacam by Planit Solutions Inc. is designed to streamline the transition from product design to CNC programming directly inside Alphacam. It bridges common CAD workflows with production-ready CAM, helping shops move from imported geometry to validated toolpaths and machine code faster, with fewer manual steps and less rework.

Key capabilities:

• Seamless CAD data import: Brings in 2D and 3D geometry and associated metadata (such as layers and attributes) from popular CAD systems.
• Automated mapping: Converts layers, features, and design intent into predefined machining strategies and tools.
• Template-driven programming: Applies consistent, parametric toolpath templates to standardize results and reduce setup time.
• Toolpath optimization: Supports nesting, sequencing, and machining order optimization to improve material usage and cycle times.
• Verification and simulation: Checks toolpaths for collisions and gouges to catch issues before they reach the machine.
• Flexible post-processing: Outputs CNC-ready code using configurable post processors to suit a wide range of machines and controllers.
• Broad industry fit: Works across wood, metal, plastics, and stone applications commonly programmed in Alphacam.
• Batch processing: Handles multiple parts and revisions efficiently to keep production moving.

Benefits:

• Shortens programming time by eliminating redundant geometry clean-up and re-drawing.
• Reduces errors by preserving design intent from CAD through CAM.
• Improves consistency with standardized machining rules and templates.
• Increases throughput by optimizing toolpaths and minimizing manual edits.

Notes:

• Requires a licensed installation of Alphacam.
• Available features and workflows may vary based on your Alphacam configuration and your chosen machine posts.
