SprutCAM is a high-level Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software that provides off-line features for programming of various CNC machines used for cutting, wire electrical discharge (EDM), 2, 3, and multi axial (CNC Swiss-Type Lathe) machining.

The program was developed by SprutCAM Tech Ltd based in Limassol, Cyprus.[1]

SprutCAM only supports Microsoft Windows 10/11 version.

History

SPRUT Technology was founded in 1997 by Alexander Kharadziev, who recruited a team of engineers to build a company for developing CAx software. And released its own product, SprutCAM, in 1997. The company was relocated in 2021. The headquarters is now located in Limassol, Cyprus.
