This basically allows multiple machining operations to be used based on a selected CAD feature. DMS™ functionality requires the user to use a single or multiple machining operations for a CAD Feature that was selected in the process. Recently Dynamic Machining Strategies™ were added. The latest release of the CAD-CAM modules uses CAM Wizards for each machining strategy which is a planned series of dialog pages that pertain directly to the machining strategy that the user selects. SWARF Milling along with 7 Surface-Based cutting toolpath machining strategies have also been developed into the Multi-axis CAD/CAM Software. The 2013 Multi-axis CAD/CAM Software offers the first High-Speed Adaptive Roughing tool path strategy in the world for simultaneous 5 Axis CNC Milling. There are also Standard and PRO versions for 4 Axis CNC Milling as well as the 5 Axis CNC Milling CAD/CAM. The 3 Axis CNC Software has a Standard and Professional version.

Meaning that a CNC business can implement a core 2 & 3 axis milling software and “add-on” to it as the business grows and needs higher levels of machining tool path capabilities. Industrial robots can be used for non-conventional milling for example. While it may be possible to make some machine functions operable with some effort, such as live tooling on a lathe the degree of difficulty varies, and technically, live tooling support for lathe is not provided. For example, it is possible to draw a turned part with tapped holes situated perpendicular to the main axis, however what is meant by “supported” is subject to interpretation. It is the users responsibility to determine, prior to sale, if particular features of a given machine will be used by BobCAD, and what additional effort may be required to do so. Description: It should not be assumed that all features on any given model of machine are supported by BobCAD.
