Mastercam X5

A professional level, with extensive capabilities in modeling and a solid set of strategies for treatment, with an accessible and user friendly interface. Founded in 1984, CNC Software Inc. is one of the first companies in CAD / CAM industry, the goal was to create software for use on a personal computer. For the concept was adopted by the idea of supplying low-cost CAM system, posted on a personal computer, as most other systems is a road at a cost, CAD-oriented products. CNC Software Inc.bylo one of the first venture between CAD / CAM software, is equally suitable for the job-machine operators and engineers and providing them with the tools for practical solutions to their problems.

Mastercam – software for milling, turning, EDM and wood on the machines with numerical control (CNC). Company CNC Software Inc., More than 25 years creating and improving the system and is one of the world leaders in CAD / CAM industry. The original version was a dvuhrazmerny (2D) CAM, and so no less for that period of Mastercam was one of the first packet CAM, which included the ability of CAD, allowing users to quickly and easily design the necessary engineering products.

According to the latest independent ekspernoy company CimData (July 2009), Mastercam has more than 147,600 installations worldwide and is already 15 years the most common CAD / CAM system.
