Why FeatureCAM? Overview
Autodesk FeatureCAM software automates your workflow from design to NC code. It allows you to reduce your programming time and produce consistent, high quality results for CNC milling, turning, multi-tasking and wire applications.
Maintain part quality
Creating features and operations with automation removes repetitive tasks, eliminating the scope for human error. This increases programming consistency and enables a level of predictability to produce reliable NC code for maintaining part quality.
Read MoreComprehensive machine support
FeatureCAM supports a comprehensive range of CNC applications including milling, turning and wire applications. The software caters to the programming needs of 3-5-axis mills, multi-tasking turning centers, Swiss-type lathes, wire EDMs and more.
Standardise practices and promote repeatability
FeatureCam takes the manufacturing knowledge of the programmer to intelligently make decisions and produce results. This encourages manufacturers to standardise their best practices, from existing quality standards and promote repeatability between all employees using the same set-up.
Simulation and safety
Use FeatureCAM collision avoidance tools to create safe, collision-free toolpaths. Visualise your programming with machine tool simulation to validate your work prior to machining. Check for collisions that could results in additional cost or machine downtime.

FAQs
-
What type of programming needs does FeatureCAM lend itself to?
Quite a variety. 3 axis milling, 5-axis milling (FeatureCAM Ultimate only), multi-tasking turning centers, Swiss-type lathes, wire EDMs and more.
-
How does FeatureCAM work?
FeatureCAM takes the manufacturing knowledge of the programmer to intelligently make decisions and produce accurate parts.
-
Will it work with my wire EDM machines?
Yes Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) is supported.
-
I have used similar software before, will I need training for FeatureCAM?
More than likely as the tools and interface are unique to FeatureCAM. Even though strategies are similar and common amongst CAM products today, their usage, and configuration are application-specific – meaning; just like MS excel and Google sheet does the same thing they have different tools and ways of doing things.
-
What are the system requirements for FeatureCAM?
FeatureCAM is a Microsoft-supported application. However, using an emulator it is possible to run FeatureCAM on a Mac, but it is not supported. We recommend CPU type: Multiple core 64-bit processors, such as Intel® Core™ i7 or Intel® Core™ i9, Memory: 8 GB RAM minimum or 16 GB RAM for more demanding parts, Graphics Card: NVIDIA Quadro at least 2GB fully OpenGL 2.0 compliant, Disk space: 16 GB.
-
Will FeatureCAM work with a Swiss-type lathe?
Yes FeatureCAM can support Swiss lathes.
