madCAM 8.0: 5Xtra (Perpetual)

madCAM (Mould and Die CAM) is an advanced 3D CAM plug-in for Rhinoceros, originally developed in 1987 as a standalone CAM system for a family-owned mould-making business.

This plug-in has been designed to work seamlessly with Rhino, making it an effective CAM solution even when projects originate from other CAD systems. Rhino's impressive ability to import a variety of 3D file formats enhances the functionality of madCAM, providing users with a versatile tool for their machining needs.

What sets madCAM apart is its ongoing development within the mould-making division of the company, which ensures that user feedback is incorporated rapidly and effectively. This close relationship between development and practical application guarantees an exceptional level of control and machining quality. The team behind madCAM relies on both Rhino and madCAM in their own production facilities, which speaks to the reliability and performance of the software.

Since its introduction as a plug-in for Rhino in the spring of 2003, madCAM has established itself as the first fully integrated CAM plug-in for Rhino3D. The developers continue to enhance madCAM, focusing on optimizing the integration of advanced CNC tools and sophisticated machine controls with Rhino's powerful modelling capabilities.
