CAM Assist provides three ‘Machining directions’ for the ‘3+2 Axis’ Machining mode: ‘Aligned to X, Y, Z’, ‘By setup’, and ‘Automatic' (for details, see General Tab).
Machining mode
CAM Assist provides two modes of machining: 3-Axis and 3+2 Axis (for details, see General Tab).
Material
The raw material of the part to be machined.
...
An intentional margin of material that remains on the radial surfaces of the part after an operation. The excess material is intentionally left to ensure that the final dimensions and tolerances are met during subsequent machining operations or as part of the finishing process.In CAM Assist, this is specified using the ‘Radial stock to leave’ parameter in the ‘Roughing’ section of the Advanced tab.
Ramp feed per revolution
...
Used within CAM Assist to represent multiple operation assignments. For example, CAM Assist assigns the smart keyword ‘Side Milling' to Roughing, Wall finishing, and Helical boring (see Smart Keywords).
Spindle power
The amount of power consumed by the spindle motor during a machining operation; it is measured in ‘energy units’, such as horsepower (hp) or kilowatts (kW).

Tool Onboarding Manager
The Tool UseUsages tab provides CAM Assist’s Tool Onboarding Manager, which provides at-a-glance information for sets of tools and more detailed information for each individual tool.
This information will help you to decide which tools you want to allow to be usedfrom the selected ‘Tool library’ (toolset) for the selected ‘Stock material’ and specific ‘usages’ (operations).
