MeshCAM Description
CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest method to generate gcode. The goal is to create a CAD file that can be used to guide your mill in cutting it. You don't need to be an expert in CAM software. What you really want is parts. MeshCAM is for people who want to make parts right away. MeshCAM can be used with almost any 3D CAD program. It supports the most popular 3D file formats, STL or DXF. You can also load 2D DXF files in R12 format to create 2D parts. Sometimes you will need a part that cannot easily be designed using a traditional CAD program. Sometimes, you don't even need a CAD program. Don't worry if this sounds like you. Any image file (JPG or BMP) can be opened in MeshCAM to convert it into a 3D surface that can easily be machined. This feature can be used to create parts that are almost impossible to produce with traditional CAD programs.

MAX-PAC
Concepts NREC's MAXPAC™, a family of CAM software, provides optimal cutter-path solutions to turbomachinery components. It offers users multiple cutting strategies that can reduce engineering and production costs. MAX-PAC can be used in any combination of modules to meet part geometry requirements. It can be used for flank milling of ruled surface blading or point milling arbitrary-surface blading. It can also be used to point mill integrally shrouded impellers. MAX-PAC is widely recognized as the best CAM program for 5-axis grinding of turbomachinery impellers and blisks. It has a strong reputation among manufacturers, job shops, 5-axis machine-tool firms, and other users. These specialized tools include three patent-protected methodologies. MAX-PAC is faster than other CAM tools and addresses turbomachinery. It also requires less programming time and machining time.

DeskProto
DeskProto is a 3DCAM program that can be used to create 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector (DXF), SVG, AI, EPS, EPS, AMS, AI), 3D geometric (STL, DXF), bitmap (any digital image), and calculate CNC toolpaths for the design. Finally, it can export a toolpath file to the machine you have selected - there is a long list of supported machines. DeskProto is available as a free, entry, expert, and multi-axis edition. Hobbyists can purchase a low-cost hobby licence for the last three.

VERICUT
You're not buying a program. Instead, you are partnering with a global manufacturing partner that has the largest collection of CNC machining specialists. CGTech engineers developed all of CGTech's products including VERICUT’s simulation technology. This allows for quick modifications and customization by the original developers. VERICUT can be purchased in modular form. The base Verification module can be extended with add-on modules. Reduce or eliminate prove outs and save operator, machine tool, and part programming time. All of these factors reduce time-to-market. Optimize tool paths to achieve better finishes on edges and surfaces by verifying dimensional accuracy. Rework, scrapped parts and machine tool crashes can be reduced or eliminated. Reduce machining time and interrupt production less often. Managers and operators can view all machining operations in advance.
