AS3000 CAD/CAM System Level 10

2.5 & 3 axis CNC G Code Programming

AS3000 CAD/CAM System Level 10 software by CamSoft delivers advanced 2.5, and 3 axis cutting capabilities with a fully integrated CAD design system that allows you to seamlessly transition from designing your part geometry to assigning advanced toolpaths.  Built for ease of use, one-click of the mouse gets you to practically any feature.  You can quickly design 2 to 3 axis part geometry or import DXF, I.G.E.S., CDL, Gerber, HPGL, CATIA CL, APT, or existing machine code files.  AS3000 was designed for ease of use by machinists. The CAD-CAM software offers powerful toolpath options for high speed machining and multiaxis cutting operations, taking full advantage of your CNC machine’s capabilities. It provides CNC programming tools that deliver speed and efficiency to help you achieve precision parts in fewer steps.

With the easy to use features you can create geometry and assign toolpaths then download the auto-generated part programming code directly to the CNC Machine tool (CamSoft’s CNC Machine Tool controller required).

Advanced System 3000, Level 10 includes all the Level 5 features plus a customizable utility language which allows you to create new user-defined features for your own application. Level 10 also supports all machine types in one package.

Included Software Features

• Multiple Machine Tool Configurations including
• 3D paths are created using 2D contours that slice the part in the Z axis by stepping up or down
