CAM programmers
See how your toolpath will run, before it reaches the machine.
Find underperforming or at-risk toolpaths in minutes, without leaving CAM. See chip load and slowdowns on every operation, approve Adam’s recommended changes, and spend your time on engineering decisions rather than manual checks.
Application engineers
Prove your recommendation on the customer’s machine before the trial.
Show how a toolpath, tool or cutting strategy will run on the customer’s own machine and controller, with chip load and risk areas, before any machine time is booked. Compare options side by side and hand over a clear report.
R&D and process development
Reach the right toolpath in fewer iterations.
Compare toolpath strategies and parameters on predicted chip load, risk and cycle time before committing machine time. Every result is deterministic: the same program on the same machine always gives the same answer. Results are traceable to the machine model, so comparisons are repeatable and defensible.
Production and estimating
Quote, schedule and allocate on predicted run times.
CAM estimates can be several times too short, so quotes end up loss-making or padded. DigitalCNC predicts run time for each specific machine, compares machines for a job and costs the difference, with no history needed for parts never made before.
Heavy industry
Recover productive capacity on your largest machines.
Large machines carry real mass, so acceleration is limited and direction changes take longer than CAM assumes. On one-off, high-value forgings and castings there is no second attempt. DigitalCNC finds lost hours and resolves risk in CAM, so the first and only run does not need to be cautious.
Quality and training
Consistent best practice, documented.
Every change is approved and recorded against the operation, and Adam writes the method of manufacture from the CAM program. Explanations with every recommendation help apprentices and new starters build programming judgement faster.
