Alphacam Router

Alphacam’s Router modules are Microsoft Windows compliant, allowing familiar and intuitive operation of the software products. This makes the generation of NC code an easy task and helps to ensure the quality of the code.

Alphacam Router is available at the following levels: 

  • Essential is the ideal entry level product for basic 2D CNC work. This module offers the fundamental tools required for CAD/CAM production, including nesting of parts from the screen, and 3D Engraving.
       
  • Standard is the perfect product for shops and subcontractors. This module offers all the functionality of the Essential package with additional support for nesting of parts from a nest list, horizontal machining, reusable machining data (Machining Styles), and much more.
     
  • Advanced is targeted at the manufacturer who works with complex, free-form patterns and tools. In addition to the functionality of the lower level modules, this module offers complex 3D machining strategies, solid model importing and feature extraction, constrained parametric part creation and much more.
     
    This module also incorporates Microsoft’s Visual Basic for Applications and is suited for those that can utilize Alphacam’s add-on or custom built applications and automation tools.
      
  • Ultimate adds support for full 4/5-Axis simultaneous machining for high-specification joinery and furniture manufacturers.

 

 

 

Testimonials

The main reason we drive all three CNC machines with Alphacam is to enable us to run a job on any machine after it’s been programmed once. Previously, if we wanted to move a job from the Weeke to the Anderson, we had to go back to the CAD stage, get the dxf files and reprogram, which was time consuming and repeating something we’d already done, but there was no way round it before we had Alphacam.

Now, once the program’s been produced it can be post processed to any machine, so Alphacam aids versatility and our response time in delivering to the client.”
