Import STL or STEP file of orthotic design. Define material block dimensions, stock thickness (EVA foam, polypropylene, or composite), and secure workholding configuration for your CNC machine.
Choose appropriate end mills from tool library (roughing, finishing, ball nose). Configure cutting parameters: spindle speed (12,000-18,000 RPM), feed rate (800-1200 mm/min), stepover (40-60%), and depth of cut. OrthoCAD automatically optimizes toolpath strategy.
Generate roughing toolpaths for bulk material removal (2-4mm stepdown) followed by finishing passes (0.1-0.3mm tolerance). OrthoCAD calculates optimal Z-level strategies, avoids gouging, and minimizes air cutting for maximum efficiency.
Execute automated collision detection to verify tool clearance, workholding interference, and machine travel limits. Post-process toolpaths to generate machine-specific G-code (Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, Heidenhain). Export NC file with tool change sequences.
Transfer G-code to CNC controller via USB, network, or DNC. Perform tool offset verification, workpiece zeroing, and dry run simulation. Execute production milling with real-time feed override. Typical machining time: 8-12 minutes per orthotic with ±0.05mm accuracy.
Orthotic CNC software is specialized computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software designed for generating optimized toolpaths and G-code for CNC milling of custom orthotics. It automates roughing/finishing strategies, 5-axis machining operations, collision detection, and post-processing for precision orthotic fabrication from EVA foam, polypropylene, or composite materials.
Professional orthotic CNC/CAM software pricing varies significantly. OrthoCAD CAM offers transparent pricing at $1,999/year for annual subscription or $3,499 for perpetual license. Competitors like Fusion 360 ($680/year, lacks orthotic templates), WorkNC ($8,000+/year custom quote), and Mastercam ($5,000-$15,000+ depending on modules) have different cost structures with varying capabilities.
Orthotic CAD software focuses on design and 3D modeling of orthotics, while CNC software (CAM) handles manufacturing toolpath generation and G-code creation for milling machines. OrthoCAD integrates both: CAD module for design ($2,999/year) and CAM module for CNC operations ($1,999/year), or bundled at $4,499/year for complete workflow.
Yes, professional orthotic CNC software like OrthoCAD CAM fully supports 5-axis simultaneous machining for complex orthotic geometries. It automatically generates indexed or continuous 5-axis toolpaths, handles machine kinematics, and performs collision detection for rotary axes. Unlike Fusion 360 (limited 5-axis), OrthoCAD provides orthotic-specific 5-axis templates.
OrthoCAD CNC software supports all major CNC machine brands through post-processor configuration: Roland MDX series, Datron Neo, Haas Mini Mill, DMG Mori, VoxelJet CNC, and desktop routers. Includes 50+ pre-configured post-processors for Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, and custom controller formats. Works with 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machines.
OrthoCAD CAM software generates complete CNC toolpaths in 3-6 minutes per orthotic with automated optimization. Traditional CAM software like WorkNC or Mastercam requires 20-45 minutes of manual programming. OrthoCAD's AI-powered automation reduces setup time by 80% while maintaining ±0.05mm machining accuracy and efficient material removal strategies.
