Camplete Post Process Verification Software

Have you ever wondered why tool paths look great on a CAM system but give different results on a milling machine? The answer is clear with CAMplete TruePath^TM.

In 5-axis production systems the only thing between CAM systems and machine tools is a post-processor. Yet most post-processors don't account for the complex, non linear motion unique to every machine. This leads to unpredictable tool motion, and large variations in cutting conditions leaving poor and inconsistent surface finish, gouging, increased tool wear and inaccurate results.

Taking the output from all popular CAM systems through APT or G-Code, CAMplete TruePath^TM bridges the gap between CAM systems and milling machines. It is the "missing link." It provides everything needed to analyze, modify, optimize and simulate 5-axis tool paths in a seamless 5-view 3D environment.

TruePath's revolutionary design eliminates the need for a post-processor because the cutter path and G-Code are linked and design intent is communicated accurately to the machine tool.

Now, instead of blindly sending the output of a CAM system through a post-processor to a 5-axis machine, use TruePath^TM to get it right the first time.

TruePath's revolutionary design eliminates the need for a post-processor because the cutter path and G-Code are linked and design intent is communicated accurately to the machine tool.  CAMplete is packaged with Matsuura 5 axis machine centers to provide our customer with a post processor that will work the first time. 

In addition, CAMplete offers real verification and optimization of real G code data, eliminating the need for costly dry runs through complex 5 axis parts.
