SolidCAM is the de-facto standard Gold-Certified integrated CAM-Engine for SolidWorks. SolidCAM provides seamless, single-window integration and full associativity to the SolidWorks design model. All machining operations are defined, calculated and verified, without leaving the SolidWorks window.
SolidCAM is widely used in the mechanical manufacturing, electronics, medical, consumer products, machine design, automotive and aerospace industries, as well as in mold and die and rapid prototyping shops.
Today successful manufacturing companies are using integrated CAD/ CAM systems to get to market faster and reduce costs. With SolidCAM’s seamless single-window integration in SolidWorks, organization can reap the benefits of the integrated SolidWorks and SolidCAM solution. SolidWorks and SolidCAM is the ‘Dream-Team’ for design and manufacturing.

SolidCAM supports the complete set of manufacturing technologies. Following is a brief description of the main SolidCAM modules.
By being fully integrated into SolidWorks, Xpress provides an introduction to all of the advantages of our integrated CAM system products at a surprisingly affordable price.
Includes the 2.5D Milling and 3-axis-surface machining functions you need most.
With an unlimited upgrade path, you can use your time and money investment towards adding more advanced modules in milling, turning and mill-turn.
The most straightforward, SolidWorks style interface, combined with the latest technology for the fastest, most powerful and easiest to create 2.5D toolpaths.
Designed for both advanced users and the novices. Full “Pilot Controls” provide unmatched power, while the “Auto-Pilot” feature-recognition automates programming and gets you off the ground as quickly as possible.
The first real breakthrough in Tool path technology, iMachining cuts 2 to 3 times faster and deeper by optimizing tool engagement and speed throughout the entire tool path.
iMachining adjusts toolpaths automatically for material, geometry, cutter and machine tool capability and uses your existing equipment to run faster and deeper with even the smallest tools in the hardest materials.
The distinctive CAM module that takes your 2.5D machining beyond merely pro¬les, pockets and faces.
Enhance your 3D machining capability by driving along specifi¬c surfaces on prismatic and 3D parts.
Total tool control to attack specifi¬c areas without the need for constraint boundaries or the time-consuming design of construction geometries.
Experience 3D machining taken to an entirely new level of smoothness, efficiency and smart machining.
Speeds up slower machine tools and unlocks the speed capabilities of faster machines by eliminating inefficient, unnecessary moves and air cutting.
The fastest and easiest way to generate advanced and high quality 3D toolpaths.
Experience single machine home position with One-click orientations for indexed setups.
Speed up multi-sided machining by eliminating multiple coordinate system constructions.
Eliminate manual G-code editing or setting up of multiple work offsets at the machine.
Supports all the latest multi-function CNC machines for combined milling and turning.
Complete multi-axis and back-spindle programming with full simulation, seamlessly integrated into one extremely powerful package.
Intelligent management of rest material between Milling and Turning operations limits air cuts for the most efficient toolpaths and reduced cycle times.
Trust in the best tried-and-tested 5-axis toolpaths in the industry with the advanced control over all aspects of toolpath and collision checking.
Pre-programmed, 5-axis strategies get you up and cutting instantly.
Instant feedback with real time, life-like simulations complete with Cutter and Tool holder gouge checking.
The most experienced and knowledgeable support team in the business with extensive machining experience.
Dedicated Post processor team to ensure compatibility with your Machine Tools.
Powerful SolidCAM Professor video tutorials cover all features and use of SolidCAM.
Instructor has presented a very good picture of SolidWorks 2008. Not only from a features point of view, but also on their application area. Patient, clear and detail. Well done.
