SOLIDWORKS CAM

SOLIDWORKS CAM is an add-on to all versions of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD that lets you prepare your designs for manufacturing much earlier in the development cycle.

SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is Included FREE with all new licences of SOLIDWORKS Professional/Premium, or available ‘standalone’ from just £156+VAT!

  • What is SOLIDWORKS CAM?

    Manufacturing tasks that traditionally had to wait until completion of your design can now be performed concurrently with your design process.

    Knowledge-Based Machining (or KBM) is a relatively new term, but one that is rapidly gaining significance in manufacturing circles. It generally refers to a CAM software’s ability to make essential knowledge a part of its automation. The system’s knowledge is then translated directly into “smart” features which help streamline and strengthen the design process, potentially eliminating or severely reducing the need to manage and document changes.

Reasons to choose SOLIDWORKS CAM

  • 3D CAD integration

    Take advantage of information in your SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD model to make better, more-informed decisions.

  • Automation

    Knowledge-Based Machining eliminates or greatly-reduces the need to manage and document changes.

  • Model-Based Definition

    Ensure your machining strategies are automatically adjusted based on tolerance specifications.

Compare Product Features

Feature SOLIDWORKS CAM Std SOLIDWORKS CAM Pro
+ Rules-based Machining
  • SOLIDWORKS CAM uses rules- based machining to enhance the programming process while leveraging tolerances that were assigned to components. Rules-based machining lets you focus on the critical areas of making a part rather than touching every feature that needs to be machined.
+ Tolerance-based Machining (TBM)
  • Tolerances and annotations in 3D models are used to automatically create machine programs. TBM automatically adjusts asymmetric tolerances to mean tolerances for cutting tool strategies.
+ Knowledge-based Machining (KBM)
  • KBM is like having a machinist at your fingertips. Once features are identified by automatic or interactive feature recognition, KBM defines machining strategies and tools to best machine the geometry. Using these rules will automatically allow you to define repeatable machining processes based on your company standards.
+ SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Associativity
  • Any change made to a design in SOLIDWORKS CAD is automatically updated, applied, and reflected in SOLIDWORKS CAM.
+ Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR)
  • Recognise certain types of geometry; holes, pockets, bosses, and turn (Professional only), not only as CAD features. Automatic feature recognition allows prismatic parts to be identified at a feature level based on machinable shapes.
+ Machine Time Automation
  • Automate machine time calculation and compare it to traditional methods for ensuring all aspects of a part are accounted for ahead of time before committing to production.
+ 3 + 2 Programming
  • SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional can employ a machining technique where a three-axis milling program is executed with the cutting tool locked in a tilted position using the five-axis machine’s two rotational axes.
+ High-Speed Machining (HSM)
  • SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional HSM using VoluMill technology maintains constant tool pressure throughout the cutting process. The variable feed rate allows the tool to cut at full depth to shorten cycle times while extending machine and tool life. This best-in- class machining routine works with standard cutting tools to lower overhead cost when machining components.
+ Turning
  • SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional has turning capabilities that include face rough and finish, rough and finish turn, groove rough and finish, rough and finish bore, cut-off, ID/OD threading, and drill, and tap on centre.
