SolidCAM is the complete, ‘best-in-class’ Manufacturing Suite for efficient and profitable CNC-Programming inside SolidWorks.

SolidCAM provides seamless single-window integration and full associativity with the SolidWorks design model.

• You never have to leave SolidWorks’ window

  With the single-window integration of SolidCAM in SolidWorks, all machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified without leaving the parametric SolidWorks assembly environment. All 2D and 3D geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SolidWorks design model. If you do any changes to your SolidWorks model, all your CAM operations will be automatically updated. In a single CAM-part, several SolidWorks configurations can be used. Each configuration can represent an independent state or production step of a workpiece.Full associativity with the SolidWorks design reduces errors when the model changes and facilitates the process when updates are received for models already machined.

  For more than two decades, thousands of worldwide customers have relied on the performance of innovative CAM solutions provided by SolidCAM. The hallmarks of SolidCAM are its ease-of-use combined with its powerful CAM functionality and customised post-processors that generate ready-to-go CNC-code.SolidCAM is widely used in the mechanical manufacturing, electronics, consumer products, medical, machine design, automotive, and aerospace industries as well as in mold & die and rapid prototyping shops.

  The integrated CAD/CAM-Solution SolidWorks+SolidCAM is available from SolidCAM at a competitive Bundle-Price.
