TrueMill - Recognizing a glaring deficiency in traditional CAM system area removal toolpaths – even ones within the SURFCAM product, Surfware embarked on a significant development activity resulting in radically new toolpath technology named "TrueMill" that monitors the amount of material in front of the cutter rather than simply offsetting geometric boundaries. Initially offered in 2D mode, followed by a 3D version, TrueMill enables all CNCs (even older ones) to operate to maximum efficiently, working equally well with even the toughest material see the TrueMill Speeds and Feeds and Several case studies.

It contains all standard geometry translators, all standard CAM utilities plus basic Milling (Pocket|Contour|Contour3d|Drill) commands, Turning (Face|FaceOff|Turn|Groove|Thread|PartOff), all postprocessing solutions (MPost, SPost, etc.) and the standard postprocessor samples library.
2-Axis Velocity		Adds surface modeling, TrueMill 2-Axis and a number of advanced features to support Machining Centers, 4-Axis WireEDM, 5-Axis Trim operations, and production MillTurn equipment.
3-Axis SE		Adds 3-Axis multi-surface machining support.
3-Axis Velocity		Adds TrueMill 2-Axis and TrueMill 3-Axis support.
4-Axis Velocity		Adds 4-Axis multi-surface machining support.
5-Axis Velocity		Adds 5-Axis multi-surface machining support.
