Almacam 5-axis, your CAD/CAM software for 3D cutting machines

Take control of complex 3D cutting with confidence and efficiency

With its simple and intuitive user interface, Almacam 5-axes  is a CAD/CAM software dedicated to program any type of 3D-cutting machine (laser, plasma, water-jet) regardless of the number of axes. It enables manufacturers to faster cut complex 3D parts, secure production and increase cutting accuracy while reducing setup time and operational risks.

Almacam 5-axes combines automation and simplicity of use. Providing support for advanced manufacturing functions, Almacam 5-axis adapts to every kind of situation, enabling you to cut complex parts.

Faster programming of complex 3D parts : program complex 3D part cutting and 5-axis cutting operations much faster thanks to automated generation of trajectories and optimized sequences.

Safer multi-axis cutting processes : ensure reliable 5-axis machining cutting tasks with automatic detection of safe trajectories and avoidance of collisions during cutting and rapid movements.

Secure and streamline programming of complex cutting cells: simulate the full 3D process to validate operations, anticipate issues (collisions, accessibility, speed limits) and efficiently program 5-axis machines or robotic cells with clear visualization.

“We felt the Alma software was more automated and faster. The module to create part support tools, a very important feature for us, was also more comprehensive. Alma’s methodology corresponded more closely to our business as a sub-contractor.”

Sébastien Garnier, Director of Garnier Industries

Powerful CAD/CAM features for 3D and 5-axis cutting

  • Import CAD model
    Import 3D CAD files and automatically analyze the geometry to prepare programming for 3D part cutting and multi-axis cutting operations.
  • Comprehensive modeling of the 5-axis cutting machine
    Create a realistic digital environment of the machine and its kinematics to ensure accurate simulation and reliable cutting trajectories.
  • Automatic modeling of 3D part tooling
    Automatically generate fixtures and support tooling based on the CAD model to securely hold parts during complex 3D cutting.
  • Automatic calculation of cutting trajectories
    Generate optimized 5-axis cutting toolpaths and cutting sequences based on the 3D model.
  • Trajectory smoothing and avoidance trajectories
    Smooth toolpaths and calculate avoidance movements to maintain continuous motion and stable cutting quality on complex 3D geometries.
  • Collision-free cutting trajectories
    Detect potential collisions between the tool, the part and the machine to ensure safe cutting.
  • Creation of the CNC cutting program and workshop document
    Automatically generate the NC programming file and production documentation required to run complex 3D cutting jobs.
