Since 1985 BobCAD-CAM has been dedicated to providing manufacturers with powerful and easy to use CNC programming CAD-CAM software with the purpose of helping you effectively automate the machining process.
BobCAD-CAM now provide CNC Plasma, CNC Milling, CNC Lathe, CNC Routing, and CNC Wire EDM CAD/CAM systems that offer powerful CAD functionality for design combined with Toolpath and complete G Code producing functions that makes your CNC software programming simple.
BobART PRO-X ART CADCAM system allows you to create complete embossed sculptures on the fly directly from a picture.

BobCad-Cam Nesting system providing you with accurate and efficient sheet optimizing capabilities easily. BobCAD-CAM can help you increase profits and support Lean Manufacturing in your shop.

The NEW BobART PRO-X system answers the call for the ability to turn pictures and CAD files into Embossed Models fast and affordably. BobART PRO-X is for anyone doing artistic type work that needs to create 2D or 3D toolpath fast and easily directly from images. BobART PRO-X allows you to create Raster to Vector operations for 2D profile toolpath, Direct Relief model from image operations and a wide range of embossing functions that rival ANY art type CAD-CAM system. Direct toolpath creation is made simple and supports, Ball, Bull-Nose, Flat and Vee carving tools. Toolpath strategies include Planar, Radial and Spiral giving you the power to machine your work the way you want to. This system proves hands down that you no longer have to pay thousands of dollars to unleash the power of art and manufacturing!

You will also be relieved to know that there are NO MAINTENANCE FEES!


Features Include:

Automatic Raster to Vector Conversions.
Grayscale Editing functions
Image Mirroring and Color Weight adjustment functions
