Alphacam is intelligent and intuitive CAM Software for Woodworking, Metal & Stone Cutting. The emphasis behind Alphacam is to provide customers with productivity, reliability and flexibility.
Available in Basic, Standard, and Advanced versions to suit individual applications and appropriately priced, Alphacam''s extensive range of modules includes 2D, 3D and 5-Axis milling, turning, wire EDM, laser, flame, plasma and water jet profiling, punching, nesting, wood routing, marble and stone cutting and 3D engraving.
Routing
Ease-of-use is just one of the reasons that Alphacam is the industry standard and system of choice for programming CNC routers. Tooling and machining techniques unique to this industry are accommodated by Alphacam's dedicated Router modules.
Aggregate Support
Horizontal aggregates for machining parts such as hinge reliefs and lock mortices, are easy to control using Alphacam. Standard fixtures can be created and saved within the system and inserted on to work planes when required, providing significant time savings.
Planar Machining
Head mounted rotary axis on CNC routers can be programd at any workplane. Aggregates with a programmable rotary axis and manual tilt are fully supported, as well as routers with fully interpolating 5-axis heads. Safe rapid moves between planes are automatically controlled and verified using advanced solid simulation. Alphacam's powerful post-processing ability means that the advanced functionality of all CNC controllers is utilised, including plane rotation.
3D Engraving
Artwork and text can be easily created and machined using Alphacam's powerful 3D engraving. This command contours geometries with a form tool, and on meeting a sharp corner automatically retracts the tool to produce a sharp corner, often referred to as embossing.
3D Routing
Multiple 3D rough and finish machining strategies of Solids, surfaces and even STL files are available within Alphacam. These strategies can be applied to any work plane, allowing for 3 plus 2 machining to be programd on machines with 4 and 5-axis rotary heads. Alphacam's 5-axis module is cable of 4 and 5-axis simultaneous machining of surfaces and 3D trim curves, often used for finishing chair backs.
Nesting
Maximizing material utilization is made easy using Alphacam's automatic nesting functionality. Parts can be selected from the screen or a kit of parts, their orientation fixed (if grain direction needs to be maintained) or rotated to any angle. Nesting supports tool lead in/out, support tags for small parts and multiple depth parts where an onion skin is required.
Geometry Constraint Manager
Using Alphacam's Constraint Manager, geometry can be made parametric, rules such as tangency can be applied between individual elements, and variables such as distance set between them. By changing the variables, the geometry is automatically resized and resolved and because of the rules applied its integrity maintained. This makes creation and subsequent machining of families of parts very quick and easy.
Dedicated Drilling Unit
Using Alphacam's Multi Drilling command toolpaths can be optimised for any drill unit. Holes are matched to the drill diameters and automatically machined; multiple drills are selected at the same time when a standard 32mm pitch is matched.
Integrated CAD CAM
Alphacam is a completely integrated CAD CAM software solution with advanced features. It is designed to offer your business enhanced productivity, exceptional reliability and additional flexibility.

Product Details:

Specifically Designed For Machining StoneCore FoundationAlphacam is one of the leading and most established suppliers of CAD CAM software for the stone industry. Alphacam Stone has been specifically developed to address the unique challenges encountered when machining marble and stone. From CNC machining simple kitchen worktops to complex three dimensional stone carvings, Alphacam Stone is the tool of choice for the modern stone craftsman.
CAD Import / Construction2D and 3D geometries can be either created or imported into Alphacam Stone. Traditional formats such as DXF, DWG and IGES are all supported, as well as the new generation of solids, such as Parasolid. STL files, a common file format in the industry, especially when using laser scanners to copy existing hand carved forms, can be easily imported, manipulated and machined.
Contouring2D geometries can be contoured using any shape or size of tool. The profile of form cutters are created within the system and their effective diameter and programming depth point controlled. The subsequent profiles generated by these tools on the parts are displayed graphically using the advanced solid simulation available within Alphacam Stone. Tool radius compensation is fully supported and a tool lead-in and out easily created. This means that the entry and exit points of a cutter can be controlled, often required if a tool needs to plunge at the center of a previously core drilled hole. The lead-in and out can be sloping, reducing tool wear and be either; a line, an arc or both a line and an arc. An overlap can be introduced to ensure that no cutting witness is left at the start/end of cut.
Contouring is used extensively when machining and polishing the moldings found on the edge of granite kitchen worktops. By supporting tool radius compensation, the diameter of the tool can be adjusted on the machine controller, thereby allowing for tool wear.
Machining StylesWhen cutting and polishing a contour, multiple tools need to be used. This is achieved within Alphacam Stone by creating a machining style. A machining style is a combination of one or more operations saved away under a unique name, this style can then be applied to any geometry. This avoids the repetitive work needed to apply similar machining operations with numerous tools to the same geometry, thus reducing time and avoiding costly mistakes.
PolishingElliptical and circular surface polishing strategies allow top and recessed surfaces to be finished. Full gouge detection is always active, though a negative stock is available to allow the polishing tool to overlap the top edge of surfaces when required. Surface polishing also involves multiple tools to achieve the surface finish required and again lends itself to the use of machining styles.
PocketingA closed geometry can be pocketed (recessed), with an unlimited number of closed geometries (islands) left standing within it. Alphacam Stone has full look ahead; this means that the tool will remove as much material as it can without gouging (fouling) the part. If a pocket is incomplete because the tool used is too large, a smaller one can be subsequently selected to remove the material left. Alphacam remembers the residual material and pockets only in these areas, rather than retracing the path followed by the first tool, cutting fresh air and therefore saving time. A helical tool path can be used to plunge the tool into the part at the start of the cut, if required due to the nature of the material being machined.
