CAD CAM Software for 3-Axis CNC Milling

Many operators still prefer to program directly into the machine control to perform basic operations such as drilling, casting, or contouring. However, this manual method is time-consuming and increases the risk of errors that affect shop floor productivity.

With BobCAD-CAM 2-Axis Express, you can create, simulate, and optimize machining programs from an intuitive CAD-CAM environment, eliminating errors and improving overall process efficiency.
If you have a CNC milling machine or machining center, our CAM software for 2-axis CNC milling will help you automate repetitive tasks, obtain more accurate results and increase the competitiveness of your company, even in the simplest jobs

The BobCAD-CAM 2-Axis module is ideal for:

Manufacture of flat or 2D/3D surface parts simple.
Precision mechanical components, simple molds and prototypes.
Repetitive drilling, contouring, or casting processes.

Users can visualize each operation before executing the actual machining, avoiding collisions or programming errors that could damage the tool or part.

Not having a CAD CAM program can affect your company's competitiveness. Normally, a CNC milling machine can use all 3 axes simultaneously, allowing your company to take on 3D and surface projects, but without a CAD-CAM system, your capabilities to carry out this type of project are highly limited. These missed opportunities can represent a loss of money for your company in the short term and a lack of recognition in the long term, especially in an increasingly competitive market, such as Latin America today.

CAD CAM Software for 4-Axis CNC Milling

CAD CAM Software for Precision Rotary Machining

Programming 4-axis machining has never been easier.

What is a 4-Axis CNC Milling Machine?

A standard 4-axis CNC milling machine allows you to machine complex parts with indexed or continuous rotation of the fourth axis, ideal for cylindrical, prismatic or multi-sided parts.

With BobCAD-CAM 4-Axis Standard CAM software, shops can automate CNC programming, improve rotary machining accuracy, and reduce cycle times by up to 40%.

Why BobCAD-CAM for Mill 4-Axis ?

Our software exists to serve a single purpose, to facilitate the programming of CNC machinery. You can find many software options on the market, but the reality is that not all of them are going to be easy to use and not all of them are going to have the technology to generate good cuts.

This version of BobCAD-CAM is designed to generate the programming code for a 4-axis machining center (4-Axis CNC Milling Machine). Where the user will be able to index the rotations of the 4th axis or machine with 3 of the 4 axes simultaneously.

Industry-leading support

Making an investment in a CAD CAM program is a difficult decision for every company, and one of the most important factors is to have the right support to learn and later solve all the doubts that come with the management of a design and programming program. BobCAD-CAM offers free training seminars every two weeks to all its users, telephone support from Monday to Friday, and face-to-face trainings in most countries in Latin America. Check out our testimonials page to find out what our customers have to say about BobCAD-CAM and its service.

From help with the design of a part, the generation of the programming code for the CNC machine, to post-processor adjustments. At BobCAD, we have the highest level of satisfaction in the industry. Unlike many other companies that work through local distributors, we employ a team of engineers exclusively dedicated to providing technical support

Standard 4-axis CNC milling machine

Frequently Asked Questions About 4-Axis CNC Machining

What is the difference between indexed and simultaneous rotation?

Indexed rotation rotates the fourth axis by (fixed) steps, while simultaneous rotation keeps all axes active during cutting, ideal for more complex geometries.

What can I do with a fourth axis?

It allows you to machine multiple faces, cylinders, 3D carvings, engravings or radial holes without re-clamping the part.

Is BobCAD-CAM 4 Axis Standard compatible with my CNC machine?

Yes, the software includes customizable postprocessors compatible with most controls on the market (Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, Mach3, among others).

Can I upgrade to the Pro version later?

Yes. BobCAD-CAM offers direct upgrade to the 4-Axis Pro module, while retaining all your existing configuration and projects.
