madCAM for Rhino

Create a new model in Rhino or import it from many other systems and madCAM will generate toolpaths directly. madCAM is fully integrated into the Rhino platform. Menus are automatically set up and easy to use within a completely seamless interface.

madCAM the 3D CAM plug-in for Rhinoceros.

• Gives the operator the ability to perform both modeling and toolpath creation inside Rhino 3D.
• Generates a non-collision toolpath with excellent cutting action.
• Handles all 3D- models that Rhinoceros® can handle.

madCAM 5.0 3X

From 2 1/2-axis to 3-axis milling.Contains what is needed for 3-axis milling inclusive roughing, waterline finishing, planar finishing, pencil tracing, engraving and more.

This version includes advanced, automatic separation of toolpaths. With a suitable strategy for milling of relatively steep and flat areas, calculated from surface normals. We believe this is necessary to obtain high quality and efficient processing.

It is possible to mill inside or inbetween one or more smaller areas by using region curves.

madCAM 5.0 3Xtra

Includes everything in madCAM 3X plus automatic remachining and more. This version is aimed for the user that needs additional features for advanced 3-axis milling.

Includes the extra functions needed to automatically and effectively process from a user-defined 3D stock model. By automatically processing areas where there is residual material, it obtains the final finish where previous cutters have not reached material due to cutter size.

It has extra features to avoid or process only the flat areas on a model. To obtain a smoother motion of the machine, there are also functions to remove sharp corners and provide a smoother tool path.

madCAM 5.0 4X

Includes everything in madCAM 3X and adds 4-axis milling. When using the "axis of revolution" function included, you can use every function in 3-axis also for 4-axis milling.

As in the 3-axis version, this one also includes advanced automatic separation of toolpaths and uses a suitable strategy for milling of relatively steep and flat areas.

Supports region curves for milling inside or inbetween one or more smaller areas. Includes the extra function to automatically process from a user-defined 3D stock-model.

madCAM 5.0 4Xtra

Includes everything in madCAM 4X plus automatic 3-axis and 4-axis remachining and more. This version is aimed for the user that needs additional features for advanced 3-axis and 4-axis milling.

The extra functions needed to automatically and effectively process from a user-defined 3D stock model are added here. By automatically processing areas where there is residual material, it obtains the final finish where previous finishing operations have not reached material due to cutter size.

Included functions for removing sharp corners on the toolpath and provide a smoother motion of the machine.

madCAM 5.0 5X

Includes 2 1/2-axis, 3-axis, 4-axis, indexed 5-axis, automatic remachining and more. This version is aimed for the user that needs support for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis milling.

The extra functions needed to automatically and effectively process from a user-defined 3D stock model are included here. By automatically processing areas where there is residual material, it obtains the final finish where previous finishing operations have not reached material due to cutter size.

All features works for 3-axis, simultaneous 4-axis and indexed 5-axis. There are additional options for the axis of revolution function where the user can select the direction of the spindle axis. This makes it possible to create simultaneous 4+1 axis toolpaths.

It has extra features to avoid or process only the flat areas on a model. Included functions for removing sharp corners on the toolpath and provide a smoother motion of the machine.

madCAM 5.0 5Xtra

Includes everything in madCAM 5X plus simultaneous 5-axis features like Swarf profiling, perpendicular to surface profiling, part trimming from curves and vectors, 3D drive surface control and more.

This version is aimed for the user that needs additional features for advanced simultaneous 5-axis milling. The extra degree of sophistication for your particular projects.

The drive surface option makes it possible to use any standard toolpath function and keep the cutter perpendicular to the drive surface. The dive surface can be a surface as part of the model or an external surface. This makes it possible to control the cuterdirection in simultaneous 5-axis independent of the shape of the model. The drive surface option works for roughing, waterline finishing, planar finishing, pencil tracing etc.

The swarf profiling is used to create simultaneous 5-axis profiling toolpaths from surface edge curves and keep the cutter parallell to the surface. This function works over several surface edges and can be used on polysurface or solid nurbs models.

The perpendicular to surface profiling is used to create simultaneous 5-axis profiling toolpaths from surface edge curves and keep the cutter perpendicular to the surface. Works on polysurface or solid nurbs models with curves over several surface edges.

The part trimming is used to create simultaneous 5-axis profiling toolpaths from curves and vectors. The cutter direction is controlled by selected vectors or line curves. This function can also be used for simultaneous 5-axis scribing.

5-axis machine setup with kinematics, postprocessor and machine simulation for any kind of 5-axis mashine.
