machining STRATEGIST is a CAM system designed for high speed machining with built-in logic for use with solid carbide and carbide insert cutters. Developed by the people at Vero International in England, machining STRATEGIST is used in Mold, Tool and Die, Prototype and Pattern shops for generating cutter paths on complex geometry developed in disparate CAD systems such as VISI-Modeling, CATIA, Unigraphics, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, and Solid EDGE.. 

Most popular CAM systems that are used in today's mold shops weren't designed with High Speed Machining in mind. In order to take advantage of today's cutter and machine tool technology, machining STRATEGIST had to be and was designed completely from scratch. Released less than 6 years ago, it is the newest technology on the market today.

Using the latest software development tools, Vero people created a CAM system that generates efficient toolpaths very quickly, while still maintaining unparalleled ease of use. Strategist also takes advantage of multiple processors for more productive programming. But, the biggest advantage of machining STRATEGIST is in it's toolpath generation.  Because it maintains a cut stock boundary, it knows exactly where to go to remove stock.  It allows use of higher feedrates because toolpaths are created without any sharp corners so cutter deflection is maintained more constant.  And all this allows your CNC machines to run faster and more productively with less wear and tear.
