🟩 Core Essentials

Features present or expected in a basic CAM package and necessary to perform the required tasks

Feature	Description	Assessment
Toolpath Visualization	Display toolpath in context of model and stock	Done. Arrow indicators on segments are too small to be useful.
Toolpath Inspection	Allow user to inspect/explore segments of the toolpath	Done.
Inspection shows the raw internal commands for the segments. These commands are not in the correct unit schema and do not reflect the postprocessed code.

🟨 Professional Grade

Features usually present or expected in the state-of-the art applications

Feature	Description	Assessment
Job Origin Indicator	Visual reference showing origin of the job	Shows in the 3D scene if enabled.
Does not show in the simulators.
Simulation: Tool & Model	Realistically render tool, stock, and models	Partially done.
Tool representation is incomplete.
Simulation: Tool Motion	Show representative tool movement.
Movement is sufficient to verify the tool path accuracy but does not reflect every movement. For example, may not show every peck movement in a cycle.	DONE
Simulation: Material Removal	Show realistic material removal in simulation	DONE
Simulation Speed Control	Speed up or slow down simulation for inspection	DONE
Collision Detection	Detect collisions between tool, stock, and model	NO
Error Detection	Identify common errors like gouging, overcutting, missed areas	NO
Consistent UI/UX	The UI scene navigation (pan, zoom, rotate) should follow the application mouse model	Behavior is inconsistent

🟦 Next-Level CAM

Features that would exceed industry standard

Feature	Description	Assessment
Machine Simulation	Simulation accurately reflects actual machine behavior and movement
Job estimates	Estimates of tool path completion time are accurate to within 1%
