CAM Assist is a plug-in for CAM software that generates professional machining strategies in seconds, while keeping the machinist in control.

It uses advanced computer science techniques and AI to generate methods to make components far more quickly than previously possible. While CNC machine programmers often need to take hours or even days to manually create a strategy for a complex part, CAM Assist can help them complete the task in minutes.

As a result, the amount of time it takes to program a CNC machine to make a component - a bottleneck in many factories, due to a global skills shortage - is greatly reduced. That gain enables manufacturers using CAM Assist to raise productivity and shorten lead times, while also estimating for more work, more quickly - saving an average workshop over 1,000 hours of programming and estimating time a year.

In addition, the software frees up time for experienced programmers, while also allowing junior employees to program more complex parts and be productive in 3+2 axis faster, helping fill the manufacturing sector’s widening skills gap.

The recent 2.0 upgrade builds on the speed of CAM Assist, while layering on the oversight, feedback and shared intelligence machine shops need to use AI with confidence. CAM Assist 2.0 enables the programmer to understand the AI’s working as it generates a strategy or operation.

As a result, users stay firmly in control of every critical decision, while still spending just minutes turning CAD into reliable, shop-standard code - instead of hours.
