SprutCAM Expert

SprutCAM Expert contains operations for the machining of 2D and 3D models including engraving. It's designed to quickly and simply handle many tasks in lathe, 2.5D milling, and engraving operations in CNC machining, while ensuring accuracy of the resulting toolpaths by working directly with the native surfaces/solids of the model.
Simply import the model, select the machining strategy and press Run. There are a few items, such as the tool type and diameter and depth of cut to be set, but the whole process is really simple.
SprutCAM Expert is also extremely accurate. With many of CAM systems that use surface/solid models, when a model is imported it is "converted" (triangulated) to a simpler format. This conversion process inevitably results in an "approximated" (less accurate) model. SprutCAM Expert does not convert the model, it works directly with the native surfaces/solids ensuring greater accuracy of the resulting toolpaths.
