Rotary axis
SprutCAM can produce NC-programs for machines equipped with
rotarting heads or rotating tables. Rotary axes can be defined without
machine element positions restrictions in the work area of the machine.
Rotating toolhead
Rotating table
Rotary axis of rotating device can be specified
either as a line parallel to one of coordinate
axes and passing through specified point or a
line passing through two points in the machine
coordinate system.

Geometry Measuring mode
The interactive measures allows to
determine geometrical characteristics of
surfaces as models, and results of
machining: the radiuses, the linear and
angular sizes. As a rule, the received
sizes are used for setting of parameters
of the tool. In most cases now the
geometrical model is enough for
development of workflow.

The function is used for the construction of outer enveloping projections of the selected
surfaces and meshes onto the XY plane of the current coordinate system. In addition to
surfaces borders the function allow to project ordinary curves on the plane. The curves it
creates can be used when assigning parameters for machining operations.
