madCAM 4Xtra
Includes everything in madCAM 4X plus automatic 3-axis and 4-axis remachining and more. This version is aimed for the user that needs additional features for advanced 3-axis and 4-axis milling.
The extra functions needed to automatically and effectively process from a user-defined 3D stock model are added here. By automatically processing areas where there is residual material, it obtains the final finish where previous finishing operations have not reached material due to cutter size.
Included functions for removing sharp corners on the toolpath and provide a smoother motion of the machine.
* 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.
