SOLIDWORKS CAM
Easy to Learn - Integrated
The SOLIDWORKS CAM rules-based technology enables you to integrate design and manufacturing in one application, connecting design and manufacturing teams through a common software tool and 3D model. SOLIDWORKS CAM solutions enable you and your team to get from design to manufacturing quickly with an integrated process.
Why Choose SOLIDWORKS CAM?
SOLIDWORKS® CAM is an add-on to all versions of SOLIDWORKS CAD that lets you prepare your designs for manufacturability earlier in the development cycle. Manufacturing tasks that had to wait until a design was complete can now be performed concurrently with the design process.

BENEFITS
-
Simplifies collaboration—single design and programming environment allows easier transition to CAM.
-
Utilizes concurrent development process allowing companies to perform tasks sooner and find problems earlier, making changes less costly.
-
Rules-based machining allows new users to adapt to a company’s machining process readily.
-
Tolerance-Based Machining allows for the best machining strategy and for quickly making adjustments as designs, materials, and tolerances change.
-
Feature Recognition gives you to full control to define machinable features within the CAD/CAM environment.
-
High-Speed Machining creates toolpaths that lead to shorter cycle times while extending tool life and lowering machine wear.
-
The NC Editor makes verification of G-code simple quick. Users can also backplot the G-code for review and send the file directly to the CNC control using the DNC capabilities.
-
Communication between programming and setup is easy with toolpaths output inside of eDrawings® - Operators can view the 3D model with the associated toolpaths to understand the machining order.
-
Fixtures and tooling are easily visualized using SOLIDWORKS assemblies. Once the fixtures are designed, SOLIDWORKS CAM can automatically adjust toolpaths to avoid collisionswith the designed components.
-
Toolpath Simulation withinSOLIDWORKS CAM allows you to verify the correct machining strategies and setup information on each component produced.SOLIDWORKS CAM
