APLUS FAQ

APlus is designed to be flexible and highly customizable. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and users can contact CAMufacturing Solutions to discuss the scope of customization and an estimate for the development work.

APlus works with Mastercam Mill, Lathe, and Router at all levels except Entry. It does not work with Mastercam Design, Wire, and Mastercam for Solidworks. Mastercam Multi-axis is not required even for multi-axis APlus toolpaths.

Your perpetual Aplus license does not expire. However, software updates, including bug fixes and compatibility with newer versions of Mastercam, can only be accessed with a valid APlus Maintenance.

Educational institutes that wish to license APlus for strictly teaching purposes may receive an educational license discount. Industrial and educational licenses are the same in form and function. The discount also applies to APlus Maintenance. A good rule of thumb – if your Mastercam is educational, APlus is educational.

APlus is currently only available for use with Mastercam as an additive manufacturing toolpath generation and simulation add-on. You must have a Mastercam license in order for APlus to work. To find out how you can license Mastercam and APlus as a package, please talk to your local Mastercam reseller.

Post-processors for many popular additive and hybrid manufacturing machine tools and robotic systems are available. If you have a machine for which a post-processor hasn’t been developed, our partners can create one on a quote-by-application basis. Postability, In-House Solutions, and Robotmaster have all developed post-processors for our application. Documentation will be provided so OEMs and resellers can modify post-processors once they are comfortable with the technology.

With a perpetual APlus license, you can maintain access to the following benefits by purchasing annual APlus Maintenance:
1) technical support for toolpaths, strategies, and options;
2) software releases and updates featuring bug fixes, new functionalities, and compatibility with Mastercam updates; and
3) prompt support without hourly fees. If your APlus Maintenance has lapsed, you must pay for the past due periods to renew it.

Subscription licenses are available and can be renewed annually to ensure the peace of mind and benefit of APlus Maintenance.
