Smart Manufacturing through Integrated Automation
SOLIDWORKS® CAM allows users to integrate design and manufacturing processes in one system to avoid downstream delays and rework cost, helping organisations in bringing high quality products faster to market. Manufacturing tasks that had to wait until a design was complete can now be performed concurrently with the design process.
The solution is powered by CAMWorks, 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.
CAMWorks is the only CAM system that is 100% compatible with SOLIDWORKS CAM.
Accelerate Your Machining Productivity
Power Smarter
With feature based machining, machinable part features are recognised automatically, virtually eliminating repetitive programming tasks.
Machine Faster
Reduce machining time by as much as 85% and increase tool life by as much as 500% even in the hardest materials.
Improve Customisation & Setup Time
Capture and reuse your best programming practices, reducing programming time by as much as 80%.
This is not just another CAM product, nor do we pretend to own the manufacturing space. But it is in our opinion a “smart manufacturing” solution that, based on tolerances, surface finish and features, it is able to automatically determine a tool path. It is also meant to indicate the path forward to our large ecosystem of manufacturing partners on how to better integrate CAM with design.
Advanced Smart Manufacturing Through Integrated CAM
Fully Integrated CAD/CAM
- All CAM is data stored in the SOLIDWORKS file
- Toolpaths update automatically to design changes
- Always machine the current revision of the part
- Machine imported files from other CAD systems
Feature Based Machining
- Machining features include holes, pockets, slots, bosses, part perimeters, and more
- Creates fully associative machining features
- Feature based programming is typically 80-90% faster than operation based programming
Automatic Feature Recognition
- Recognises over 20 types of machinable features
- Creates features and populates the Feature Tree
Knowledge Based Machining
- Capture and re-use your best practices
- Create a library of machining strategies
- Your best practices are selected automatically
