SprutCAM
Introduction '''SprutCAM''' is a high-level Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software that provides off-line features for programming of various CNC machines used for cutting, wire electrical discharge (EDM), 2, 3, and multi axial (CNC Swiss-Type Lathe) machining.The program was developed by SprutCAM Tech Ltd based in Limassol, Cyprus.SprutCAM only supports Microsoft Windows 10/11 version.
History SPRUT Technology was founded in 1997 by Alexander Kharadziev, who recruited a team of engineers to build a company for developing CAx software. And released its own product, SprutCAM, in 1997.The company was relocated in 2021.The headquarters is now located in Limassol, Cyprus.=== Version history ===Past Versions* SprutCAM (1997)* SprutCAM 2 (2000)* SprutCAM 3 (August 4, 2003)* SprutCAM 4 (May 6, 2005)* SprutCAM 2007 (August 11, 2007)* SprutCAM 7 (November 18, 2009)* SprutCAM 8 (June 6, 2012)* SprutCAM 9 (January 1, 2014)* SprutCAM 10 (January 1, 2016)* SprutCAM 11 (March 20, 2017)* SprutCAM 11.5 (January 1, 2018)* SprutCAM 12 (January 26, 2019)* SprutCAM 14 (April 30, 2020)* SprutCAM 15 (May, 2021)* SprutCAM X 16 (May, 2022)Current Version:* SprutCAM X 17 (September, 2023)=== System requirements ===The system requirements for SprutCAM:   Minimum (small and medium projects)  Recommended (large projects) OS  Windows 10  Windows 10 CPU  64-bit  64-bit Memory  8 GB RAM  32 GB RAM Video  OpenGL-capable card (OpenGL 1.2) 512 MB  OpenGL-capable card (OpenGL 1.5) 1 GB or higher Storage  HDD with at least 5GB free space  Solid State Drive (SSD) with at least 10GB free space Monitor  1920x1080  4K, dual monitors Pointing Device  Mouse  Mouse and 3Dconnexion 3D mouse Internet  -  Internet connection===Computer aided design products===* SolidWorks* T-FLEX* IRONCAD* AutoCAD* Inventor* SolidEdge* Alibre Design* Cobalt* PowerShape* Rhinoceros 3D* SpaceClaim* NXSprutCAM works with associative CAD geometry and toolpaths; this allows modified geometry or machining parameters to quickly obtain updated toolpaths.
