Inventor CAM features
-
Adaptive clearing
Reduce roughing time by a factor of 4 or more compared to conventional roughing and increase tool life. (video: 3:43 min.)
-
2.5- and 3-axis milling
Create toolpaths with powerful technology, such as 3D adaptive clearing, and the industry’s most complete package of finishing toolpaths. (video: 1:49 min.)
-
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.)
-
AnyCAD in Inventor
Design changes in the source CAD system get automatically updated downstream in drawings and toolpaths.
Learn more -
Waterjet, plasma, and laser cutting
Generate 2D profile cutting paths quickly with the ability to add all contours in the same plane, add tabs, and specify quality settings.
-
Probing
Automatically avoid collisions between your part and tool holders during CNC calculations.
Learn more -
Tool holder avoidance
Multiprocessor/multicore CPU support reduces toolpath calculation times, especially on large or complex designs.
Learn more -
Slope machining
Control cutter engagement by using slope angles to minimize tool deflection and improve finish.
Learn more -
Stock and toolpath simulation
See stock being removed, and check for shaft and clamp/fixture collisions.
Learn more -
CNC output edit
Perform common text edits to NC program files.
Learn more -
Analysis tools
Measure distances or dynamically view vital information, such as feed/speed and estimated machining time.
