Autodesk PartMaker is the gold standard for programming Swiss-type lathes and multi-spindle turn-mill machines. If you run Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Mazak Integrex, or similar machines — PartMaker is purpose-built for your workflow.

Who Is PartMaker For?

Medical device manufacturers, watch component makers, automotive fastener producers, any shop running Swiss-type lathes or multi-spindle machines.

Real ROI — 60-70% Faster Swiss Programming

PartMaker reduces Swiss lathe programming time by 60-70% compared to manual G-code. For medical or precision parts where accuracy is critical, it eliminates the risk of manual errors entirely.

Key Features

  • Dedicated Swiss lathe programming with synchronized spindle control
  • Multi-spindle turn-mill strategies
  • Sub-spindle and live tooling management
  • Collision detection for complex multi-axis Swiss programs
  • Supports all major Swiss brands: Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Hanwha
  • Automatic back-working operations

Why PartMaker?

PartMaker was developed for Swiss lathes and supports the techniques commonly used by Swiss programmers.

  • Precision programming gives you fine control over your machine and provides clarity during the programming of turning with live tooling.
  • Swiss specific functionality gives you several options to manufacture your parts based on your available tooling and batch size.
  • Quick process synchronization automatically inserts wait and queue codes into your NC programs for an efficient cycle time, with minimal effort.

Expert Knowledge

Mechman Solution has strong in-house knowledge of programming and implementing software for Swiss lathes through established relationships with many machine tool manufacturers. This helps to ensure our post-processors generate accurate NC code for your machines. Due to this focus, many leading users of Swiss-type lathes have chosen to standardize with PartMaker.

Greater Flexibility

PartMaker is available as part of FeatureCAM Ultimate, bringing together technology to deliver our highest level of capabilities for production machining. This single package includes:

  • PartMaker software for high precision programming for Swiss-type lathes.
  • FeatureCAM software for automated CNC programming.

FeatureCAM Ultimate gives you access to the best of both. You can choose between using either PartMaker, FeatureCAM or a combination of the two to suit your needs and preferences.

Autodesk PartMaker Training Classes

Autodesk PartMaker Essentials/Intermediate

Description: Essentials covers an intro to knowledge-based Swiss Style and Turn/Mill programming and an overview of the best workflows to programming effectively - import, extraction, simulation, milling, along with basic and advanced strategies. This includes setup, tool libraries, cycles libraries, and the use of the process table to order, edit and synchronize toolpaths between the main and sub spindles. At the end of the course is a 1 day lab, where each student will apply the skills to their parts to demonstrate proficiency.

Type: Web/Remote
Pre-Requisites: None
Course Length: 3 days*

Autodesk PartMaker Advanced Machining

Description: This 3D Advanced Machining class includes 3D roughing and finishing techniques. Roughing techniques include model area clearance with the model and vortex machining. Finishing strategies include raster, 3D offset, rest machining, pencil trace, and corner finishing. 5-axis positioning with 3+2 tool tilt and 5-axis simultaneous swarfing is also taught as a part of this class. At the end of the course is a 1 day lab, where each student will apply the skills to their parts to demonstrate proficiency.

Type: Web/Remote
Pre-Requisites: Essentials/Intermediate
Course Length: 2 days*

Autodesk PartMaker Turn-Mill

Description: This two-day course covers Turn/Mill programming and an overview of the best workflows to programming effectively - import, extraction, simulation, milling, along with basic and advanced strategies. This includes setup, tool libraries, cycles libraries, and the use of the process table to order, edit and synchronize toolpaths between the main and sub spindles. Day two will focus on milling with the B-Axis. If additional help is needed with 3D machining, this would have to be scheduled as a custom 3rd day.

Type: Web/Remote
