True Gold-certified CAD-CAM Integration

With the single-window integration of SolidCAM in SolidWorks, all machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified without leaving the SolidWorks assembly environment. All 2D and 3D geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SolidWorks design model. In a single CAM-part, several SolidWorks configurations can be used. Each configuration can represent an independent state or production step of a workpiece.

When the geometry used to define a machining operation is changed in the SolidWorks design, SolidCAM enables the user to automatically synchronize all machining operations with the updated geometry. The full associativity to the SolidWorks design model reduces errors when the model changes and facilitates the process where updates are received for models already machined.

Full Associativity to the SolidWorks CAD Model

Whenever the Model changes, the user is prompted to automatically update and synchronize all NC-operations – if he wants to.
