• RhinoCAM 4th Axis add-on – a milling plug-in module for Rhinoceros 3.0®
• VisualTurn – a standalone 2 axis turning product

“The addition of these two new products allows us to extend and strengthen further our manufacturing related product offerings. The 4th Axis add-on to RhinoCAM is aimed at strengthening our dual product strategy of providing integrated CAD/CAM solutions as well as standalone shop floor oriented CAM solutions. The release of VisualTurn, on the other hand, is significant in that it allows our users to standardize on one product suite for all of their shop floor needs. We are excited about these products and are looking forward to making an impact in the marketplace with them“, says Joe Anand, the President of MecSoft Corporation.
