xPositional

For manufacturers that have 4/5-axis machinery but don’t need the complexity of simultaneous motion toolpaths, the xPositional multiplier is the perfect solutions.

xSimultaneous

Head mounted rotary axes on CNC routers can be programmed at any orientation. Aggregates with a programmable rotary axis and manual tilt are fully supported, as well as fully interpolating 5-axis heads.

xSolids

If you are working with solid models, xSolids provides the tools you need to import, prepare, and process your files for manufacture.

xNesting

Nested manufacturing is made easy using ALPHACAM’s xNesting multiplier. Parts can be selected directly from the screen or as a kit; their orientation fixed, if grain direction needs to be maintained or rotated to any angle.

xAutomation

With xAutomation, 2D and 3D CAD files, along with solid models from third party software, can be batch processed - from file preparation right through to applying toolpaths with NC code being generated automatically.

xConstraints

Parametric part programming can save you hours of time and eliminate errors by creating rules for how certain part attributes are affected when other attributes change.

xAPI

ALPHACAM’s xAPI multiplier allows you to tap into our powerful CAM engine utilizing standard programming languages to extend and customize the way the software functions.

xFixtures

If you need to control the placement, position, and movement of your machinery’s fixtures and clamps within your CAM system, xFixtures is the multiplier for you.

xRobotics

If you are needing to output your part programs to be handled by robotics applications, xRobotics is the multiplier for you. We’ve taken the guess work out of what information needs to be output to be best handled by your 3rd party robotics post processor.
