World’s Fastest CAD/CAM Software

Surfcam has established itself as one of the world’s fastest CAD/CAM software programs, and in Finland, its efficiency is trusted by over a thousand licensed users. The software’s exceptional speed is particularly highlighted in dynamic Job Shop operations, where minimizing programming time is critical for productivity. Speed is not limited to computing power, but is present throughout the entire workflow: a surface model-based architecture and a dynamic user interface enable the creation and modification of elements seamlessly. In addition, automatic group formation after the first selection speeds up the definition of machining features significantly, making Surfcam a genuinely high-performance tool for busy production environments.

The software’s two-axis functions offer versatile tools for roughing and finishing. Modern trochoidal methods and advanced drilling strategies optimize machining times, while support for indexed movements expands machining possibilities. In three-axis machining, the focus is on high-speed machining (HSM). Surfcam produces high-quality surfaces regardless of the part geometry using standardized 3D offset and contouring methods. Waveform roughing is particularly significant, reducing roughing times by up to half and significantly extending tool life.

For multi-axis machining, Surfcam offers full control of 4- and 5-axis simultaneous operation. Advanced vector control, precise collision detection and versatile simulation tools ensure a safe process even in the most demanding parts. On the turning side, the software covers all needs from basic shapes to back-contact control and the guidance of rotating tools. Polar interpolation and Y-axis support enable the manufacturing of complex parts with a single clamping.

As part of the Hexagon product family, Surfcam users also have access to the DESIGNER design software and NCSIMUL simulation as standard. This combination ensures that translators are always up-to-date and that technology meets industry standards, which meets the strict requirements of modern machine tool industry.
