ExpertCAM Overview
Production NC programming has typically been a slow, expensive, error-prone process. ExpertCAM changes all that. With ExpertCAM, your NC programmers beat the backlog and create accurate, efficient part programs more quickly than ever before, with at large and small manufacturing firms alike successfully increasing NC programmer productivity with ExpertCAM.
ExpertCAM has powerful visualization tools to allow users to review and optimize machining operations before a part program is released. ExpertCAM makes short order of your machining operations — for milling, turning, flame cutting and punching — in one effective application package.
ExpertCAM accepts part geometry from popular CAD applications and links directly to ExpertCAD and ToolDesigner, accelerating engineering changes and design data preparation for machining. Users can automatically reference tools and fixtures from electronic databases or generate their own tooling while working with ExpertCAM. They can also display true 2D and 3D representations of the tool and tool path in relation to part geometry and fixtures. All of which saves time, increases accuracy, and eliminates tool collisions.
ExpertCAM supports 2.5 axis contouring and 5-axis positioning for milling applications, along with 2- and 4-axis lathe programming. A comprehensive library of post-processors are included for both mill and lathe along with the ability to order custom post processors directly from AMT Software. So you have one cost-effective system that supports all your machining requirements. ExpertCAM comes bundled with a license for ExpertCAD to make short work of part data preparation for machining. In short, ExpertCAM is truly a complete, comprehensive CAD/CAM system.

Licensing Options
Node-Locked Licensing
License enforcement is implemented by a USB security key. Any computer with this key attached to a USB port is authorized to run the software. A network connection or internet connections is not required.
Floating License
The industry-leading FlexLM™ floating license solution from Flexera® simplifies deployment and management of software licenses. Any computer on the network can acquire a license from your designated floating license server computer.
Internet Licensing
An internet license or iLicense. An iLicense requires an internet connection. When you start ExpertCAM, it will acquire a license assigned to that specific computer over a secure SSL connection with the AMT Software license server.
System Requirements
ExpertCAM runs on Intel and Intel-compatible computers running the Microsoft Windows® operating system. Native 64-bit and 32-bit editions are available.
ExpertCAM does not require a high-end computer or any special hardware option(s); any computer with even the most basic configuration will work well.
ExpertCAM is compiled to use the native x86 microprocessor instruction set (e.g. microprocessors from Intel and AMD). Laptops and computers with an ARM microprocessor (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro X) are not supported.
Cloud-based solutions (AWS, Azure, ...) used in conjunction with a remote display technology such as Microsoft Remote Desktop, VMWare, etc. is not supported.
A display capable of a screen resolution of 1080 pixels in height (e.g. 1920 x 1080 is fine). This allows for all the icons on the right hand side to be visible. Lower resolutions will work but you will have to scroll the icons to get to those not visible.
When deciding on a monitor, choose only purpose-built monitors for computers as opposed to high-definition televisions.
ExpertCAM is also available for Sun (Oracle) SPARC workstations running the Solaris operating system.
