madCAM 3Xtra
Includes everything in madCAM 3X plus automatic remachining and more. This version is aimed for the user that needs additional features for advanced 3-axis milling.
Includes the extra functions needed to automatically and effectively process from a user-defined 3D stock model. By automatically processing areas where there is residual material, it obtains the final finish where previous cutters have not reached material due to cutter size.
It has extra features to avoid or process only the flat areas on a model. To obtain a smoother motion of the machine, there are also functions to remove sharp corners and provide a smoother tool path.
* Important * madCAM is a plugin for Rhino3D. It requires Rhinoceros to run. If you haven't got Rhino, you can download the evaluation version of Rhino from here.
