About Prospector

Knowledge-Based Programming                         Comes to the Shop Floor

Prospector™ is the next generation in CAM software for that lets you put programming in the hands of your most knowledgeable employees - the machinists on the shop floor.  After all, who knows better how to machine a job?

The whole secret to Prospector's power is its unique knowledge-based programming concept.  Prospector's built-in know-how will provide default solutions for virtually all of your machining situations.  But, Prospector's real strength is in its ability to use input from your experienced operators to modify those default solutions into optimum solutions. In short, Prospector is smart enough to remember what your machinists tell it about what works in your plant and to use that information over and over again. 

Empowered with Prospector, machinists are producing higher quality results in far less time than ever thought possible. That's what knowledge-based programming is all about.  Your machinists focus on what’s truly important – running the machine at maximum efficiency – instead of running the computer. With Prospector at work, shop floor programming is a practical tool to improve your bottom line.
