CAMWorks features TekSoft's 3 Axis cutting. The 3 Axis cycles are developed for speed, accuracy and efficient memory usage. Simple and complex parts can be cut quickly and accurately with a high quality toolpath.

Some of the features are below.

• All 3 Axis Cutting Cycles:
  • Can be modified to stay contained within an area or to avoid an area.
  • Provide interactive and automatic methods for defining contain and avoid areas.
  • Have retract options to reduce travel distance between retract and reentry moves.
  • Can generate high-speed toolpaths with no sharp corners.
  • Can generate toolpaths with ball, flat, hog nose, tapered ball, tapered flat, or tapered hog nose tools.
  • Allow user defined start and end Z depths.
  • Can have separate XY and Z stock allowances.
  • Allow contain and avoid areas to be defined with different tool side conditions for On, Upto and Past.
  • Allow contain and avoid areas to have multiple closed areas.
  • Allow avoid areas to be defined such that the tool will machine over the avoid area.
