CAM Assist doesn’t require any custom post-processors and works with almost every CNC milling machine (as long as you have the right post-processor in place). 

CAM Assist does not currently support other types of CNC machine such as lathes and mill-turns, though this is in development.

Yes. CAM Assist is designed to work seamlessly with your tool library. It uses the tools and parameters from your library to generate accurate and efficient machining strategies.

Tool Library Requirements: Please ensure that the tools in your library are fully assembled with tool holders, as CAM Assist only works with assembled tools.

‍Autodesk Fusion: For the Fusion version of CAM Assist, you can use tools from your Fusion tool library. CAM Assist supports both cloud and local tool libraries. Additionally, you can select multiple tool libraries in Fusion to enhance your machining strategies.

‍Mastercam 2024 and 2025: We strongly recommend using Mastercam Tool Manager. This allows you to include material-specific presets and usage details for each tool, ensuring better compatibility with CAM Assist.

‍Siemens NX: For the NX version of CAM Assist, you can add tools directly to your active session. CAM Assist will exclusively use the tools you include in that session.

No.  CAM Assist works directly within your existing CAM package and therefore does not require new post-processors.

Yes, CAM Assist requires a stable internet connection. The internet is necessary for processing and generating strategies and integrating them with your CAM software.

We understand our customers’ needs when it comes to securing their part data. We use state-of-the-art highly secure data centres to host our CAM Assist cloud infrastructure.

All customer data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using powerful encryption algorithms.

We are SOC2 Type 2 and Cyber Essentials Plus certified, with more accreditations on the way such as ISO27001, and NIST 800-171ITAR: option to use AWS GOVCloud (US).

For our full security questionnaire FAQs please ask your Account Executive when you book a demo.

No. The security and privacy of your parts data is very important to us. We don't train our AI based on any customer data. Instead, we work closely with customers to improve the outputs and overall performance of CAM Assist; in addition to using daily in our own development machine shop.

CAM Assist has a deep understanding of the rules and physics of machining, paired with the ability to generate trillions of possible ways to manufacture a component. It does this bearing in mind your unique combination of part + fixture + tooling + machine.

It rapidly simulates these possibilities, narrowing down the options to a sensible set of operations that will successfully produce the part to tolerance, which it then inputs this directly into to your CAM package, much in the same way you would. This leaves you with a CAM program that is ready to simulate and edit.

CAM Assist will rarely provide a perfect strategy first time, but it will usually get you 80% of the way there - it is up to you to decide how to use that time.

Whereas feature-based machining can identify a certain feature on a part and enable you to make a macro for that feature, CAM Assist is an AI that’s been programmed to know how to make the whole component. 

That means instead of recognising features and drawing from a template library you have built, CAM Assist works out the best toolpaths and strategies based on all the elements that a component consists of, because CAM Assist understands the part holistically, as a whole.

CAM Assist is an AI that understands the physics and rules of CNC machining, works at full effectiveness out of the box, and receives new capabilities added monthly enabling it to program more components with faster cycle times and better process robustness.

By contrast Feature Based Machining is not AI and does not understand CNC machining. It can take upwards of a year to build an effective macro database, and most factories employing Feature Based Machining also employ full-time technicians to continually expand this database.

Feature Based Machining is known for being inflexible and difficult to set up. It tends to be most popular in major manufacturing operations producing large families of similar components - a use case in which it excels. It is rarely found in the subcontract machining arena.

CAM Assist requires no setup and little training, integrating directly into your existing CAM package. It also contains powerful additional capabilities including instant cycle time estimation, instant fixture generation and instant feed and speed optimisation.

CAM Assist Cutting Parameters AI is the engine powering the feeds and speeds underlying the automatic machining strategy generation in CAM Assist. This dynamic physics model computes feeds and speeds based on the characteristics of the chosen machine, tooling, materials and numerous other parameters. With the Cutting Parameters Explorer tool, users can also modify these parameters dynamically for each toolpath operation to account for the specific factors of the job at hand.

Yes, we do! Depending on the size and needs of your organization, we can provide tailored training and support to accommodate your requirements.
