Surfware was an outgrowth of a family machine shop founded in 1950 which expanded in 1988 into NC Software.[1]
Surfware's flagship product is Surfcam. It holds one software patent related to Computer Aided Manufacture[2] and an application for its Truemill roughing strategy.[3][4] In the 20+ years since CAD/CAM existed, there have been significant advances in machine tools, cutting tools and other manufacturing components to machine faster and increase productivity. However, there has been minimal to no improvement in the CAM software to enable these components to machine to their potential. TrueMill, the pending patent technology in SURFCAM Velocity, solves this problem by maintaining a consistent and predictable load on the cutter.
