All 3 Axis Milling operations

• Support rest or leftover machining
• Can be modified to stay contained within an area or to avoid an area.
• Allow contain and avoid areas to be defined with different tool side conditions for On Center, Upto, Past.
• Allow contain and avoid areas to have multiple areas.
• Can optionally machine over the avoid area.
• Have retract options to reduce travel distance between retract and reentry moves.
• Can generate high-speed toolpaths with no sharp corners.
• Support ball, flat, hog nose, tapered ball, tapered flat, and tapered hog nose tools.
• Allow user defined start/end Z depths.
• Consider the tool shank diameter and will modify the toolpath if required to avoid colliding with the tool shank.
• Can gouge detect against tool holder and check toolpaths for invalid arcs, continuity and gouging.
• Provide separate ramp height offsets for lead-ins and lead-outs.
• Can have separate XY and Z stock allowance.
• Can specify the number of levels to make equal for Area Clearance and Z Level operations.
• All cycles except Area Clearance, Flat Area support options to restrict toolpaths to a given slope and up and down milling.
• Allow a global facet deviation to be set for faster toolpath calculation.
• Provide an Arc fitting option to generate toolpaths comprised of line and arc moves.
• Pre-drilled entry points for Area Clearance and Flat Area operations.

• Area Clearance (pocketing, lace, adaptive roughing)
• Pattern Project (parallel slice, radial, spiral and flowline cuts) 
• Z Level - generates Z-level passes from a set of surface contours. Optimal for semi-finishing and finishing of steep walls. Options for combination Z Level/Constant Step strategy and helical milling.
• Flat Area - uses a roughing pattern to remove material on flat faces. Planar faces are automatically located and machined with the appropriate flat tool.
• Pencil Mill - creates toolpaths along internal corners and fillets with small radii. Ideally suited to cleaning up after other finishing strategies.
• Curve Project - removes material by projecting 2.5 Axis Engrave or Curve features on the 3 Axis feature.
• Constant Stepover - generates a semi-finish or finish toolpath with a true constant stepover regardless of the slope being machined.

• CAMWorks modules are available in a variety of bundles or combinations: 2½ Axis, 3 Axis, 3 Axis with undercut, 4 Axis and 5 Axis Simultaneous Milling; 2 and 4 Axis Turning; Rotary Milling; 2 and 4 Axis Wire EDM
