EXTERNAL CAD IMPORTS
It’s possible to import the following formats: DXF, DWG, IGES, 3DS, STEP, STL, OBJ, Rhino3D.
TOOLS TABLES
The software is provided with a specific environment to manage the tools’ archives. The user, depending on his equipment, can archive his tools in one or more tool tables that can be arranged and customized depending on his needs.
Supported tools:
- mill cutters: cylindrical, spherical or toroidal cutters; tapers and engraving cutters
- holes machinings tools: drill, boring, reaming and taper tools
- turning tools: generic, parting and threading tools
Handling of tool-holders and additional accessories. Tables handling: printing, exporting and importing.

LATHE MACHININGS
Module for the 2-axis lathe machinings.
- Lathe machinings: roughing, pocketing, facing, finishing, groove, cut off, threading
- Canned cycles: axial drilling, axial tapping
SIMULATION
PEGASUS CAD-CAM is bundled with an integrated graphic simulation environment for the immediate verification of the machining result on the material (material simulation), and a virtual simulation environment based on the real model of the machine (machine simulation).
MATERIAL SIMULATION
Verification of all kind of machinings, from 2.5D up to 5 axes, with collision checking on both the stock material and the finished model. Two possible simulation modes are available:
- toolpath (showing only the tool trace)
- material removal
VIRTUAL MACHINE SIMULATION
This is an optional module that provides the virtual representation of the entire machine, showing the movement of all axes, both linear and rotary. This module is useful to avoid problems on the machine during the CNC program execution; it checks the limits of the axes and detects potential collisions with the moving parts or the fixtures.
Report
Integrated module to handle reports and project printings, for the operator to use during the equipping of the machine. Reports content is customizable with:
- the list of the applied operations
- tools data
- working schedule
- material images e work setting operations
Post processor
This is an integrated module to convert the applied toolpaths into the language of the specific CNC. Usually there are one or more custom post-processors available for the machines present in a workshop.
