Extend your CIMCO Editor Investment with CNC Calc

Do you ever have a need for minor editing closer to the shop floor or beyond your CAM system? If so you may be a candidate for the CNC-Calc option for CIMCO Editor. CNC-Calc is actually designed for people who are not trained to utilize advanced CAD/CAM software, making it a great choice for closer to production editing.

CAD/CAM Systems are Expensive – CNC-Calc is Not

Even if you own expensive CAD/CAM software such as Mastercam, Solidworks, Camworks or Esprit, etc, then CNC-Calc may still be a good option for you. You can launch it quickly and do some editing in the time it takes to just launch your larger package. A single seat costs $500 as an add-on to CIMCO Editor, allowing you to start drawing contours, lines, circles and even circle tangents to three elements.
