CloudNC CAM Assist
CloudNC's CAM Assist is the first AI-powered add-on for CAM systems. CAM Assist integrates directly with your CAM software, automating programming, maximizing your machine tool's utilization, and growing your business.
With CAM Assist, you can win more bids by processing over four times more quotes using machine time estimates. The AI understands your tools and machines, significantly speeding up the quoting process. Additionally, you can design fixtures instantly, creating custom soft jaws in seconds. This reduces the time spent on CAD design by an average of 40 minutes and frees up your programmer for more productive work.
CAM Assist eliminates CAM bottlenecks by getting your programmer to 80% readiness in program execution with just the push of a button, greatly multiplying their productivity. This AI solution also helps reduce waste material by providing AI-generated machining parameters. You can reduce the time from CAD design to first machining by up to 80%, getting your machine tools up and running quickly and increasing productivity from the first day.
CAM Assist works by deeply understanding the rules and physics of machining. It generates countless possible ways to manufacture a component, considering the unique combinations of your cutting tools, fixtures, and machine tools. This significantly speeds up the production planning process and reduces your manual work.
While feature-based machining identifies individual features and uses macros to repeat them, CAM Assist uses AI to manufacture the entire component. This means CAM Assist can select the best tool paths and strategies for processing the entire workpiece, as it understands the part as a whole.
CloudNC CAM Assist integrates directly with Mastercam
The update released in July 2024 brings CAM Assist to Mastercam, meaning even more machinists around the world can benefit from its productivity-driven improvements.
CAM Assist works with nearly all CNC milling machines and retrieves your machine's parameters directly from your CAM package. The data is stored in compliance with GDPR. CAM Assist does not require new post processors, and tool parameter management is done through a dynamic physics model that optimizes feeds and speeds.
