Automated CAM programming:

Discover the future with our free webinar series “CAM Next”

The manufacturing industry is facing ever more complex challenges: increasing demands for precision, efficiency and standardization. But how can CAM programming be optimized to save time, minimize errors and automate processes? Our free webinar series “CAM Next: Automated CAM programming” provides the answer!

Why you should be there

Our experts will guide you step by step through the central technologies of automated CAM programming. You will learn how to use feature and macro technology, the tool database, the Automation Center and Virtual Tool to make your processes more efficient. In compact 30-minute live sessions, we will show you how to get the most out of hyperMILL.

Your advantages:

  • Standardized processes: Recognize recurring geometries and automate your machining processes.
  • Save time: Use intelligent tools to create NC programs faster and more efficiently.
  • Error minimization: The use of macros and feature technologies reduces manual intervention.
  • Practical live demos: See directly at hyperMILL how automation works in practice.
