GO2cam FAQ: Machining Redesigned for Efficiency and Precision

What sets GO2cam apart from other CAM software?

GO2cam stands out with its focus on operational intelligence:

  • Intuitive interface: Fewer complex menus and unnecessary parameters for faster programming.
  • Reduced programming time: Optimized toolpaths, even in 5-axis machining, without compromising quality.
  • Ultra-fast learning curve: Just a few days of training are enough to become operational, compared to weeks with other solutions.

Which machining processes does GO2cam support?

GO2cam covers all mechanical manufacturing needs with precision tailored to each sector:

  • Milling: Trochoidal roughing, 5-axis finishing, and High-Speed Machining (HSM) strategies.
  • Turning: Optimized management of twin-spindle and multi-turret machines, even for complex parts.
  • Swiss Machining: Programming of Swiss-type lathes for high-volume production (medical, watchmaking, automotive sectors).
  • Precision machining: Specialized modules for dental (implants, bridges) and watchmaking, with micron-level tolerances.
  • Wire EDM: Flexible programming in 2D parametric or 3D solid, optimized for flat or complex parts. Ideal for demanding sectors such as microelectronics, watchmaking, precision engineering, and Swiss machining tool manufacturing.
    Advanced features: Creation of standardized gears and teeth (ISO/AGMA), Nesting to optimize material usage, and automatic draft angle management.

Is GO2cam compatible with my CAD files?

Yes, GO2cam simplifies the integration of your CAD files with native readers for:

  • SolidWorks (with full associativity: changes to your 3D model are automatically reflected in the machining toolpaths).
  • Catia, Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, etc.
  • Standard formats: STEP, IGES, Parasolid, etc.

This approach reduces the risk of errors and optimizes reprogramming time.

How does GO2cam optimize tool life?

GO2cam does more than generate G-code: it extends the life of your tools with:

  • Constant engagement algorithms: Avoids thermal and mechanical shocks.
  • Reduced premature wear: Allows for increased feed rates without compromising machine mechanics.
  • Fewer tool change stops: More productivity.

Which controllers and machines are supported by GO2cam?

GO2cam offers certified post-processors for controllers such as:

  • DMG Mori, Fanuc, Haas, Heidenhain, Mazak, Tsugami
  • And many more.

Check compatibility with your machine fleet for optimal integration.

How long does it take to learn GO2cam?

With GO2cam, a few days of training are enough to become operational, compared to weeks with other solutions.
The intuitive interface and built-in help tools speed up the learning process.

What level of technical support is included with GO2cam?

GO2cam provides responsive technical support:
