CloudNC is a pioneering technology company dedicated to transforming the manufacturing industry through advanced software solutions. Leveraging the power of AI and machine learning, CloudNC aims to revolutionize CNC machining, making it faster, more efficient, and more accessible for manufacturers of all sizes.

With a commitment to innovation and excellence, CloudNC provides cutting-edge tools designed to optimize production processes and enhance overall productivity.

What is CAM Assist?

CAM Assist is an innovative AI-driven software solution from CloudNC designed to streamline and automate CAM programming. Acting as an AI co-pilot, CAM Assist integrates seamlessly with Autodesk Fusion, enabling manufacturers to generate professional machining strategies in seconds. This tool significantly reduces programming time, enhances precision, and boosts overall efficiency, making it an essential asset for modern manufacturing operations.

Why use CAM Assist?

  • Efficiency Boost: CAM Assist reduces CAM programming time by up to 80%, allowing manufacturers to save hundreds of production hours annually.

  • Enhanced Precision: with AI-generated cutting parameters, CAM Assist ensures optimal feeds and speeds, reducing scrap and improving quality.

  • User-Friendly: the software requires minimal setup and training, making it easy to implement and use effectively.

  • Business Growth: by accelerating quote processing and reducing time-to-machining, CAM Assist helps manufacturers win more business and increase revenue.

How CAM Assist compares with traditional CAM or feature-based machining

Unlike traditional CAM or feature-based machining, which can be time-consuming and inflexible, CAM Assist offers several advantages:

  • AI-Driven Automation: CAM Assist uses advanced AI to understand machining physics and generate optimal strategies automatically, whereas traditional methods rely on manual input and pre-built macros.

  • Quick Setup: CAM Assist is ready to use with minimal setup and training, compared to the extensive setup required for feature-based machining.

  • Holistic Understanding: CAM Assist comprehensively understands each component's requirements, providing more accurate and efficient toolpaths and strategies.

Which packages work with CAM Assist?

CAM Assist is currently available for Autodesk Fusion, with future expansions planned for other popular CAM packages, including Mastercam and Siemens NX. This makes it a versatile solution for various manufacturing environments.
