CAD and CAM Software

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) involves drawing 2D shapes and surface patterns in software that serve as a model for final production. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the 3D counterpart to 2D drafting. It allows for the design and modification of volumetric parts and provides a direct preview of the finished product. Finally, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is the implementation of machining procedures from a computer to obtain our finished product from raw material. In the case of digital machines, the result is the export of a manufacturing code in machine language containing instructions such as the toolpath, speeds, and machine-specific commands (tool changes, lubrication, etc.).

There are many software programs available for designing and manufacturing parts with a CNC machine.
LUQUE Machines offers a selection of software tailored to your profession and your needs.
