The dedicated advanced workflow app from the makers of ShopCalc. ShopCalc's in-app g-code surface is now ShopCAM Lite - single-op math you use ten times a day. ShopCAM is the bigger brother: chain operations, save jobs, manage machine profiles, post out to your controller. Same shop-floor DNA, bigger toolbox.
The product solves something specific and gets out of your way.
Chain canned cycles - drill, then peck, then tap, then bore, then chamfer - across a single setup. Output is one continuous .NC program that runs end-to-end, no manual stitching at the controller.
Your Haas isn't your Mazak isn't your friend's Centroid. Save per-machine post-processor settings (G-code dialect, M-code map, decimal precision, modal vs. absolute, max RPM/feed clamps) and target a specific machine on every export.
Today's setup becomes next month's recall. Save a complete program - operations, tools, offsets, post-processor target - and re-run it when the same job lands on the table again. No re-keying.
Family of parts? Build the template once, plug in the dimensions per part. Hole patterns, threading recipes, fixture setups - parameterize what's variable, lock what isn't.
The tools you've already saved in ShopCalc's Tool Library show up in ShopCAM - same diameters, same chip loads, same SFM presets. Type once, use everywhere. No double-entry, no drift.
Plain-English prompts that match how a machinist actually thinks about a setup: "What are you cutting?", "What tool are you using?", "How deep?". The post-processor handles the syntax; you handle the part.
Send the program to a .NC file, copy to clipboard for paste-into-the-controller workflows, or share via the system share sheet. No cloud dependency, no account required to export.
Dark UI that cuts shop-light glare. 64px minimum tap targets for gloves. DRO-style amber readouts. Runs offline, no telemetry. Imperial + metric in one tap. ShopCalc users will feel at home on day one.
Everything you’d want to know about ShopCAM on a single sheet. No marketing math.
ShopCalc stays the shop-floor utility app you reach for ten times a day. ShopCAM is where multi-operation work lives.
No waitlist, no email capture, no “vote on features.” ShopCAM ships when it’s honest - meaning when a real machinist can pick it up, build a real multi-op program, and post it to a real controller without it being a beta. The “Open in ShopCAM” links inside ShopCalc’s ShopCAM Lite section will activate automatically when the mobile builds land on the App Store and Google Play.
