SOLIDWORKS CAM uses rules-based editing to improve the programming process while taking advantage of the tolerances assigned to the components.

Tolerances and annotations of 3D models are used to automatically create machine programs.

Once the functions are identified through interactive or automatic function recognition, knowledge-based machining defines the machining strategies and tools that enable the best machining of the geometry.

All changes to a design in SOLIDWORKS CAD are automatically updated, applied and reflected in SOLIDWORKS CAM.

Recognize 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.

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.

Use a machining technique based on a 3-axis milling program performed with the cutting tool locked in an inclined position while using the two rotary axes of the 5-axis machine

Use VoluMill technology to maintain constant tool pressure during the cutting process. The variable feed speed allows the tool to cut to the maximum depth to shorten cycle times and extend the life of machines and tools.

SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional offers various turning functions, including facing (roughing and finishing), roughing and finishing of the outer contour or inner contour (OD / ID), grooving, parting off, outer and inner thread cutting, drilling, and center tapping.

Part modeling and import is the foundation of programming in the digital world. Creating and importing parts allows the user the ability to communicate with designers, read MBD data, and make necessary manufacturing adjustments. Because it is SOLIDWORKS, it is easy to use and learn.
