Inventor CAM is an integrated tool for creating 2.5- to 5-axis mill and mill-turn toolpath strategies.
Inventor CAM: Integrated CAM software simplifies CNC programming processes
Available only as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.
What is Inventor CAM?
Autodesk® Inventor® CAM software simplifies the machining workflow with CAD-embedded 2.5-axis to 5-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn capabilities.
-
Seamless workflow for rapidly turning designs into machined parts directly inside Inventor
-
Advanced roughing strategy for efficiently removing a high volume of material while minimizing tool and machine wear
-
Powerful post processor system for quickly generating CNC code
Inventor CAM overview (video: 1:33 min.)
Try adaptive clearing for faster roughing and less tool wear
Get high accuracy with holder and shaft collision detection
Use all of your live tooling to get parts done faster
Include multi-axis support to make your most complex parts
Add full 5-axis support for getting shorter tools into tight places
Why use Inventor CAM?
Reduce mill time
Include Adaptive Clearing as a roughing strategy for efficiently clearing large quantities of material.
Increase tool life
Maintain maximum load throughout the machining cycle, so you can cut deep without risk of breakage.
Maintain associativity
Toolpaths update automatically as changes are made to the 3D model in Inventor.
What you can do with Inventor CAM
4- and 5-axis milling
Simultaneous 4- and 5-axis features for machining complex models include tilt, multi-axis contour, and swarf. (video: 1:52 min.)
Turning and mill-turn
Improve productivity with traditional turning, facing, grooving, and boring functions. Includes support for live tooling mill-turning. (video: 2:10 min.)
“The adaptive [tooling method] has decreased the cycle time … and tool life, it doubles it, if not triples it.”
– Bob Paffumi, Owner, R Mac Shop
Inventor CAM “reduced some of our machining times on an order of 20 to 30 hours.”
– Tim Evans, CNC Shop Manager, Kalitta Motorsports
“We met with the surgeon on a web-based meeting at 6:30 a.m. … and by 5 we had shipped him an actual product.”
– Aaron Noble, CEO, Poriferous
