What is the Canfit™ VisualCAM software?

Canfit™ VisualCAM™ is a software program which works in conjunction with Vorum's software and hardware products (Canfit™ P&O Design software and Canfit™ P&O 3-Axis carver) to help operators make the most effective use of carving blocks. This program is very easy to operate and will save the user time and money in the process of carving finished shapes.


The Canfit™ VisualCAM™ software keeps an inventory of blocks on file. The operator can choose to carve the new shape inside a previously carved block. This dramatically reduces carving costs and reduces waste.

Functions within the Canfit™ VisualCAM™ software allow the user to move the shape horizontally and vertically and also to flip the shape around a vertical axis. This allows carving of multiple shapes in a single carving block. You may also carve multiple shapes in one block simultaneously as long as their shape and size fits in the block. This program has been designed specifically for the use with the Canfit™ P&O 3-Axis carver.

Tools

What does the VisualCAM software come with?

VisualCAM includes the Canfit™ VisualCAM™ software. This software allows you to select the design file and block you want to use. It will also show you whether the shape will fit within your selected block. Using this software, you are able to take the shape you designed in the CAD software and prepare it for carving on the Canfit™ P&O 3-Axis carver.

What else do I need to get started?

  • A suitable computer
  • Canfit™ P&O Design software
  • Canfit™ P&O 3-Axis carver

Set up

A Vorum product support engineer installs the VisualCAM™ software at your site during the same visit as the carver installation.

How does the Canfit™ VisualCAM™ software work?

  1. Create your shape using our design program: Canfit™ P&O Design software
  2. Load the design file in Canfit™ VisualCAM™ in the Carver computer
  3. Select a block (new or used)
  4. Move the shape within the block using the Canfit™ VisualCAM™ software. The software will show you if the shape fits or not
  5. Once you have your shape adjusted to fit within the block, create a carve file, and send it to the carver.

Advantages of the Canfit™ VisualCAM™ software

  • Cost Effective - Will use the least expensive standard carving block or help you carve in a previously used block.
  • Manual Override - Select the block that you want to use
  • Efficient - Carved blocks can be saved and re-carved
  • Customizable - Approved blocks may be added to the software.
