VisualMill - The New Master of CAM

Perfect for part machining, general machining, prototype work, as well as mold and die work, VisualMill marks a new paradigm in machining software technology. Its extreme ease-of-use together with its affordable price make it the new highest price-perfromer in the market.

VisualMill Basic

The basic configuration includes all 2D machining algorithms (profiles, pockets, slots, and drills) together with entry level 3D machining (Z-roughing, parallel plane finishing, and Z-level finishing).

VisualMill is not just the name of the product - it's how it works. Its intuitive visually-oriented user interface allows many users to learn the system without ever referencing the user manual.

Finally, the most amazing thing about this industrial strength system is its price – $995. Evaluation copies of the system are available in the download area.

VisualMill Advanced

3D multi-surface is what the advanced configuration is all about. Consider it for the following:

  • Mold work (core and cavity)
  • Tool & Die (including form stations)
  • Prototyping - in wood or ren - in mills or routers
  • Part machining, and
  • General purpose machining.
