SprutCAM (32/64 bits version) is a high-level CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) program that runs on Microsoft Windows and was developed by SprutCAM Tech Ltd. SprutCAM provide off-line CNC programming for cutting, wire EDM, 2, 3 and multi axial machining with support Multi-tasking Turn-Milling centers with live tooling (CNC Swiss-Type Lathe) and robots (OLP).

History[]

SPRUT Technology was founded in 1997 by , who recruited a team of engineers to build a company for developing CAx software. And released its own product, SprutCAM, in 1997. The headquaters is now located in Limassol, Cyprus.

System Requirements[]

The system requirements for SprutCAM:

Computer Aided Design products[]

• SolidWorks
• T-FLEX
• IRONCAD
• AutoCAD
• Inventor
• SolidEdge
• Alibre Design
• Cobalt
• PowerShape
