Siemens TopCNC Suite – PAL-based CNC programming and simulation at the highest level.
The professional CNC simulation software TopCNC Suite, consisting of Topmill (milling) and Topturn (turning), is the perfect solution for practical training and further education in the CNC field. Developed for vocational schools, training centres and industrial companies, it imparts CNC knowledge reliably, efficiently and realistically.
Highlights of the TopCAM 3D / PAL add-on module:
- 3D milling programming system with automatic machining feature recognition
- True-to-original programming of multi-sided machining on 5-axis machining centres
- Easy to use – intuitive user interface, ideal for beginners and advanced users.
- Realistic 3D simulation – Shows all machining steps realistically, including tool movements, workpiece, clamping devices and machine room.
- Real-time error checking – Increased safety through immediate detection of programming errors and collisions.
- Can be simulated in TopMill as a virtual test machine

To purchase the software, you must also sign up for 12 months of software maintenance (item no. 105976). After this period expires, you will receive an optional offer to extend the software maintenance.
The delivery does not include software on data carriers; instead, customers receive a download link with a reference to the GTAC download server as part of the delivery.
The range of functions is activated with the corresponding licence key, depending on the order. TopCNC Suite uses the Automation Licence Manager (ALM) to protect against unauthorised copying.
The USB stick and the licence number encryption also indicate whether it is a single licence or a multi-user licence (with the number of PC workstations).
