What’s New in BobCAD-CAM V34

For this release BobCAD chose to focus on two major topics: usability and toolpath power.

Focusing on reducing the amount of times you need to right-click, more organisation in the layer manager, added tools to manage your work offset numbers, and new toolpaths for deburring your parts, means every user is going to find enhancements in the product that make programming feel more natural.
