    CAM package that auto creates 5-axis toolpaths?

    Does such a thing exist yet? I'm looking for CAM software with Auto Feature Recognition that can automatically create toolpaths for milling a sphere, for example. I've attached a very simple solidworks part. If anyone can have their CAM package AFR recognize and auto create 5 axis toolpaths for this part, I'd love to know whether that's possible.

    Thanks!

    there is way too much conceptual thought process involved for what your looking for.

    Like time travel, if it existed everyone would be using it and you'd know about it ;-)
