The VisualCAD/CAM Difference
For years KC started out operating two 2½ Axis manual turning lathes. That led to his first 2½ Axis CNC machine from Laguna Tools that used the Bandit® control software. For CAD/CAM KC was using GeoPath® software from Solutionware. That worked for a while but soon became very cumbersome. To expand his operations into 3 Axis machining, KC migrated to a 3 Axis mill from CNCMasters and chose VisualCAD/CAM from MecSoft Corporation. We recently sat down with KC to discuss his recent success at using VisualCAD/CAM. Here is some of what KC had to say about his VidualCAD/CAM software.
“Our experience with VisualCAD/CAM has been exceptional. The program is easy to learn and easy to use! Getting G-Code out to our CNCMasters 3-Axis mill is much faster now than our previous 2½ Axis GeoPath CAD/CAM system from SolutionWare.”

The VisualCAD/CAM Part
The part contains an interesting set of features including profiles, pockets, flanges, and holes as well as machining from two sides. The center thru-hole requires some tight machining tolerances. KC can CAM program all of these features to the required specifications using his VisualCAD/CAM software. We invite you to continue reading to learn more about this component and how it was programmed and posted to KC’s CNCMaster 3 Axis mill!
