V21 Software

BobCAD-CAM Version 21 introduces new external file compatibility, powerful CAD wireframe, surface and solids technology and user friendly machining operations for 2D & 3D part making. Version 21 proves that advanced CAD-CAM software can be powerful and loaded with part making functionality, yet still easy to use while also being affordable enough for any shop! From basic 2D machining operations to model design and mold making BobCAD-CAM Version 21 provides you the toolpath and g-code to cut your parts FASTER...SMARTER & EASIER! The following list of features has been added to give you an idea of what Version 21 can do for your design & manufacturing requirements.
You will also be relieved to know that there are NO MAINTENANCE FEES!
