SolidCAM

SolidCAM is the solid solution for manufacturing inside of SolidWorks®.

The most successful manufacturing companies today are using integrated CAD/CAM systems to reduce costs and get products to market faster. In the past, integrated CAD/CAM solutions were so expensive that only Fortune 500 companies could afford them. Integrated CAD/CAM solutions were also difficult to learn and use, so a company needed degreed engineers to tackle the complexities. SolidCAM has broken that tradition by providing an easy to use, powerful pairing of applications that has a low investment and a short ROI.

SolidCAM is the fastest growing CAM application in the world, and has been for several years. It is completely integrated inside today's leading CAD solutions. All machining strategies are defined without ever leaving the CAD environment. There is no loss of data or other problems with translation that plague stand alone CAM systems. Because SolidCAM is truly associative, changes to the design are automatically updated through to the tool path.

SolidCAM is an extremely powerful tool for machined part programming. The powerful geometry selection and creation tools found within your design environment are rounded out with specialist tools in SolidCAM. The combination of these tools minimizes the time spent selecting areas to be machined or limited from machining. The user works in assembly mode so he/she can simply pull components from a library to model entire setups, including machine tables, fixtures, and vises. Manufacturing can be automated through the use of the built-in knowledge database. This database in not a static template, but it can be dynamically driven by changes in tools, geometry and strategies.

SolidCAM is proven technology from a company that has been in the business for 22 years.
