What Sets WORKNC Apart
Reliability on Complex Surfaces
WORKNC is trusted by mold & die shops worldwide for collision-free toolpaths on the most complex geometries — deep cavities, steep walls, and organic surfaces.
Automatic Toolpath Strategies
Global roughing through finishing in a single workflow. WORKNC calculates rest material automatically and applies the right strategy without manual intervention.
HSM Optimisation
High-speed machining strategies maintain constant tool engagement, reducing cycle times and tool wear while improving surface finish.
CAD Import & Repair
Import from CATIA, NX, SOLIDWORKS, STEP, IGES, and more. Automatic surface repair and healing ensures clean geometry for reliable toolpaths.

Frequently Asked Questions
WORKNC excels at complex 3-axis to 5-axis surface machining — mold & die work, aerospace components, and any parts with organic or freeform surfaces. It's the go-to CAM for shops that need reliable, collision-free toolpaths on difficult geometry.
EDGECAM is best for general-purpose CNC programming (milling, turning, mill-turn). WORKNC is specialized for advanced surface machining — if your work involves complex 3D surfaces, deep cavities, or 5-axis sculptured parts, WORKNC is the better choice.
Yes. WORKNC offers full 5-axis simultaneous machining with automatic tilt control, collision avoidance, and toolpath smoothing. The Auto5 feature can also convert existing 3-axis toolpaths to 5-axis automatically.
WORKNC pricing depends on the modules and configuration you need. Contact us for India-specific pricing — we provide quotes within 48 hours.
Yes. WORKNC has native readers for CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, NX, Pro/E, STEP, IGES, and other major CAD formats. It also includes automatic surface repair for imported geometry.
Yes. Cadspro provides WORKNC training at our Bangalore training center and on-site at your facility. Training covers everything from basic 3-axis programming to advanced 5-axis strategies.
