CAM-Software CircuitCAM8

CircuitCAM is a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system for Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and other related technologies from DCT Co.,Ltd in Tianjin, China and LKSoft. It is supporting technologies for both prototyping and line production. The supported manufacturing processes are:

  • inspection of layout data including design rule checks
  • panelization and creation of galvanic frames
  • data preparation for photo-plotter
  • conventional milling and drilling (contour routing), including optimization of tool-paths
  • insulation milling for prototyping
  • Laser cutting, drilling, and structuring, including Laser beam correction and optical scanners
  • SMT stencil and SMT pad optimizations
  • package and footprint recognition with library
  • generic geometric data engine for all kinds of custom requests.

CircuitCAM in its new version 8 is now available for everyone. It provides a totally new, universal and customizable way of NC toolpath generation and it is no longer bound to customers of a particular German machine manufacturer. You can buy CircuitCAM directly from the developers or otherwise ask your particular machine vendor. We offer customized versions to support the specific needs of your application, machine and material.

With over 10 000 paid licenses all over the world CircuitCAM is in the top league of CAM systems for printed circuit boards (PCB). Its unique capabilities for milling, insulation milling, drilling and different kinds of Laser-structuring, -cutting and -drilling are completely restructured and enhanced in the new version.

CircuitCAM is available in five different variants:

  • CircuitCAM Viewer which is free of charge, you can downloads it from here
  • CircuitCAM Basic with pre-defined PCB CAM functionality for milling, insulation milling and drilling
  • CircuitCAM Laser with extended and customizable PCB CAM functionality for milling, insulation milling, drilling and Laser machining
  • CircuitCAM Stencil with extended and customizable PCB CAM functionality for milling, insulation milling, drilling and Laser machining plus library based mass modifications
  • CircuitCAM LaserPlus (from v7.2 on) with the new Striping & Stripping algorithm for effective removal of residual cooper of a coated PCB
  • CircuitCAM LaserSolar (from v8.0 on) with the new Solar_Fill, Solar_AutoDraw functionality to address the graphics processing needs of the photovoltaic industry.
