      2.5 & 3-axis Milling

      Quickly set up jobs and generate toolpaths to machine quality parts while reducing wear on your tools with fully integrated CAM, including 2.5 and 3-axis operations.

      Learn more

      The quality of parts coming off our machines has improved due to more efficient programming strategies, as well as the integrated CAD environment.
      - Jonathan Bancroft G2 Crowd

      3+2 Milling (5-axis Positional)

      Leverage your shop's multi-axis capabilities with straightforward positional 5-axis programming that will significantly reduce machine setup time between operations.

      Learn more

      With our other program, it would take an hour to calculate toolpaths. With Fusion 360, just couple of minutes.
      - Jeff Hooper Backhand Bikes

      4-axis Milling

      Create indexed or wrapped toolpaths using the rotary axis of your machine for complex geometry.

      Frequently asked questions for machinists (FAQ)

      CAD/CAM software is computer-aided design & computer-aided manufacturing software for CNC machinists.

      Computer-aided design & computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software is used by CNC machinists to design and manufacture prototypes, finished products, and production runs of products.

      CNC stands for computer numerical control. There are many types of CNC machines, and this is often the main step in the process of creating a component or part through material removal. Once a part has been designed in CAD software, CAM (computer aided manufacturing) software is used to generate toolpaths, plans that tell a CNC machine how to move.
