Text editing
　 Text can be rotated, scaled, moved, sheared, arranged along curves, etc. and can be edited again in text edit mode after these transformations. Besides, text input in a frame is also available, with automatic line feed.
Serial number text
　 This function is used for making some designs of serial number texts.
Duplication along a curve
　 A kind of duplication tools, you can arrange the objects along a line or a curve. With these functions, you can work out well-regulated and handsome graphs.(More)
Array duplication
　 Array duplication function, modify the parameters of rectangular and circular duplication, dynamicly display the updated results, more intuitive, more convenient.(More)

Boolean operation
　 Boolean operation includes join, common, not common and subtract.

Locate and align in dragging
　 While moving, scaling entities, if you hold Atl key, Ucancam can snap feature point as the start, end point of moving, allows you movling precisely, So as to realize fast nesting.(More)
Auto nesting      
　 Parameters setting such as kerf width, clearance and Iteration count;
　 Nesting method setting: starting point (Left bottom, Right bottom, Left up, Right up), direction: X direction and Y direction;
　 Precise calculation, such as in hole nest, to improve the efficiency of working and utilization rate of material.
Node editing
　 Functions in node editing include: add, delete, disconnect, connect, close, convert to line, convert to curve, smooth, symmetry, align, start point, auto remove points, fillet, and vertical.
Layer management
　 In Ucancam, you can create graphs on different layers that can exist together. You can add or delete layers so as to perform operations on many objects at the same time.(More)
CAM
　 Toolpaths are calculated quickly and accurately. Ucancam provides a Tools Library where users can choose, edit, add or delete a tool. Various machining solutions are available. Users can apply toolpath simulation and engraving simulation to check whether tool paths are valid and to preview machining results. These simulation functions are also useful to reduce trial cutting times and cut down machining costs and help users to get valid and effective machining results.
Profile machining
　 Profile Machining is widely used for incising. It includes On Line, Outside, and Inside machining.
Ramp
　 Ramp is to plunge in a certain angle. Tools goes into the material not in a vertical direction but in slanting direction so that the tool will not be destroyed or broken because of force during entering material. This also ensures that no mark or scar be left on the surface of the material.
Pecking plunge
　 When using Pecking plunge, the tool goes into a certain depth into the material, and then goes up to a certain height, and repeat this process when cutting the material. Pecking plunge prevents the tool breaks especially when cutting hard materials.
Lead in/out
　　When using Lead in/out, the tool first goes into a certain depth outside of material, and then cuts into the side of the material.

ToolPath plunge
　　You can modify the start point of profile path by click the start point, and keep the left mouse key down, drag the mouse to move the start point. And the same time the plunge will be modified by the parameter of dialog.

Trochoidal toolpath
　　The Trochoidal Toolpath is designed especially for brittle materials such as glass or granite or extremely hard materials that generate a lot of heat upon cutting. The Trochoidal Toolpath produce a circular toolpath at high feed rates with low load on the tool, therefore keeping the heat down while providing for longer tool life.

raster                            offset

Area clearance
　 Area Clearance is to mill an area in the material. There are two types of milling: raster and offset. It is commonly used in our work.Offset (a machinery strategy of Area clearance) has changed the line-transition into arc-transition and the arc buffer has been added as a transition for sharp corners to adjust to high-speed milling.
Trochoidal toolpaths
　　Trochoidal toolpaths are mostly used to create slots. You can use trochoidal paths to create pockets, but there will be some wasted movement when the pocket opens up, and the arcing paths are unnecessary to minimize engagement.
3D Engraving
　 3D engraving is to make the surface of the material smooth and to ensure the definition, precision and third dimension effect of the machined object. It is mainly used in seal engraving and engraving of characters with special effects. 3D engraving includes top and bottom engraving, and the difference between them is the size of the machining area.
Drilling
　 You can Drilling on points, on curves, on the center of object or in region.
Insert and Inlay
　 This is a special function of engraving. It is an important measure to make sign marks and craftworks.
Intelligent machining        
　 Efficiency in milling can be greatly improved when applying Intelligent Machining. Two different tools can be chosen from the toolpath, the tool with lager diameter will be used for rough machining, and the smaller one will be used for precision machining. In the first machining, the speed is greatly improved, and after the second process, you will get what you want.
Prism machining
　 By prism machining, it becomes easier for you to make characters with prism effect, and sign mark. Toolpaths can be created quickly and efficiently. If you want to make a massive work, it can be machined layer by layer, and you can fit them together when finished. There are two kinds of angles for you to choose, rounded angle and cusp angle. The prism will display clearly. Prism machining is quick to learn and easy to use.
Embossing machining
　 Embossing machining is mainly used in making relief. There are two modes in embossing: concave relief machining and convex relief machining. With ease operation, you will get accurate relief. It is widely used in such fields as advertising sign, sign board, breast card, furniture, metallic moulds, printings, etc.
Image dot machining
　 Image dot machining is to engrave the object after the image is converted into grayscale image. Dots are made on the material based on the different grayscale value. The higher the grayscale value is, the deeper and bigger the dots are, and vice versa.
Image relief machining
　 Image relief machining is to engrave the object after the image is converted into grayscale image. The machining is based on brightness level. Min brightness depth and max brightness depth are the depth by which the tool goes into the material. Horizontal/vertical machining is the direction of the tool path.
Toolpath artistic transform
　　Perspective Distortion and Envelop Distortion can support the toolpath transform. especially can be applyed to the waveboard toolpath.

Rotary_Axis engraving
　 This is used to drive a machine using rotary axis, do cylinder engraving.
Toolpath simulation
　 Machining process can be previewed through toolpath simulation, thus avoiding trial cutting and reducing cost. This function is helpful for choosing a proper machining type.
Post Processor
　 The Post Processor is a programme which converts the tool path in some standard neutral format into the format requried by a specific machine control system.(More)
