BobCAD-CAM v20 is designed to maximize shop floor programming capabilities, giving the experienced programmer the right tools and allowing the new CAD-CAM programmer to achieve success faster, while keeping costs down. It has an easy-to-use and understand interface, provides powerful CAD design capabilities, and follows up with standard 2D and 3D machining operations that easily solve real-world day-to-day challenges.

V20 file translators provide AutoCAD DWG import, including support for 3D surface and solids data. Import translators, which include enhanced DXF, IGES, Rhinoceros CAD 3DM, and SAT/ACIS file import functions, have been added to an existing list, eliminating file compatibility restrictions.

Free-form surface creation tools allow the CAD operator to turn 2D or complex 3D wireframe geometry into surfaces quickly and easily. New 2D Profile milling operations box allows more tool control, automatic cutter compensation, as well as tool approach and departure flexibility. Automatic tapered wall pocketing wizard provides the operator with choices for tools, roughing, finishing, and complete Z-Level control for outer wall and inside island taper angles. New 3D toolpath functions for direct surface and solid model machining have been added, providing the necessary capabilities to manufacture both simple and highly complex parts with ease.
