About TurboCAD & CAM
TurboCAD with CAM plug-in is a combination of 3D CAD and 2.5D CAM. It's an excellent choice for most general purpose work. TurboCAD Pro 16 is the premium design software solution that’s delivered exceptional value to both 2D and 3D users for over 20 years.TurboCAD Pro’s robust set of 2D drafting and 3D modeling tools enable users to create innovative designs for a wide range of industries and disciplines. TurboCAD also includes several industry-leading technologies, such as Spatial Technology’s ACIS solid modeling engine, LightWork Design’s photorealistic rendering and lighting engine and material libraries, and Siemens PLM Software’s D-Cubed geometric and dimensional constraints engine.
TurboCAD Pro’s incredible flexibility, low learning curve and overall ease of use are hallmarks of this award-winning program. A completely customizable graphical user interface, SEKE’s (Single Entry Key commands), and a Part/History Tree allows for editing of complex designs in any order.
TurboCAD Pro is incredibly compatible with other CAD and graphics programs and formats, supporting import from over 30 file formats and export to over 25 formats. Our DXF and DWG file translators for AutoCAD are considered some of the best in the industry.
Whether you are a professional mechanical engineer, architect or builder, civil engineer, woodworker, hobbyist or student, TurboCAD has you covered! Plus, there are optional, specialized architectural and mechanical toolsets available for purchase, as well as plug-ins that extend TurboCAD’s capabilities into 3D Animation, Furniture Design, Computer Aided Machining (CAM), and more.

TurboCAM Features
Simplistic CAM programs will create G&M codes directly as you pick out paths or objects in a CAD drawing. It seems easy to make progress as you work, but going back and making changes can be difficult.More advanced CAM programs, like TurboCAD/CAM, will generate conceptual operations that are essentially machine independent. While the resulting G&M codes might be displayed, the program is actually recording ideas, like "pocket this area," or "edge mill this contour." This is quite different than recording just the motions like "move X 3 inches." The result is that your work is much easier to edit, retaining the ability to modify properties of individual operations or even whole groups of operations.
TurboCAD/CAM Training and Support
The program comes with a good tutorial, usually enough to get you started. For a more detailed understanding we suggest purchasing TurboCAD/CAM movie CD. This is a series of short movies, each one training on a different set of software features. Tormach can only offer limited support on TurboCAD/CAM, however, there are many online support websites, including TurboCAD/CAM's own website.
