Start holes and bridges
The Feature-Recognition places the start holes at the best possible position automatically; it is also possible to manipulate these positions at a later time. If existing geometries for the start holes exist, the Feature-Recognition considers them and places the start holes there. Furthermore, the position and number of bridges can be defined automatically or manually, thereby facilitating break tags (multiple tags) with several start holes.

Lead-in and lead-off
With just a few clicks the lead in- and lead off strategies can be set.

• Straight, at an angle and "meander" shaped
• Optional over-travel the contour
• Programmable lead-in and lead-off technologies

Events and segments
An event can be placed at any position on feature. At this
point a comment, a machine code - for example an M-code or G-code or an NC-set - can be inserted. Features can
be split up into several segments; for each segment the number of cuts, offsets, lead-in and lead-off strategies
or a partial pocketing can be set separately.

Corner relief
Four types of corner reliefs allow a specific control of the tool path in sharp corners without changing the model. This is especially important in cutting tool manufacturing.

OPTICAM GEAR (optional)
With the OPTICAM Gear module it is possible to create non standard gears. By changing the coefficient, the pitch circle, tooth thickness over rollers, tip and root radii or chamfers the involute can be manipulated very easily.
