The SOLIDWORKS CAM Features

  • SOLIDWORKS CAM products include 5-axis milling and turning solutions that offer 3+2 machining, as well as full support for configurations, parts, and assembly machining workflows. 
  • High-Speed Machining optimizes toolpaths that lead to shorter cycle times while extending tool life and lowering machine wear. 
  • Tolerance-Based Machining automatically determines the best machining strategy using tolerances and individual 3D model features. 
  • Feature Recognition reduces time from design to manufacturing by extracting machinable features automatically. 
  • The NC Editor makes verification of G-code simple and quick. Users can back plot the G-code for review and send the file directly to the CNC control using the DNC capabilities. 

Which SOLIDWORKS CAM package is right for you?

SOLIDWORKS CAM

Standard

The Standard version lets you quickly program individual milled parts without leaving the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment. You have full access to defining rules within SOLIDWORKS CAM to create and build to your company standards, as well as Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM).

SOLIDWORKS CAM

Professional

The Professional version builds on the capabilities of SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard with increased programming capabilities. The additional features include High-Speed Machining (HSM), configurations, assembly machining, turning, and 3+2 programming to drive four- and five-axis machines.

SOLIDWORKS CAM

Machinist Standard

SOLIDWORKS Machinist Standard provides all the functionality found in SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard plus a Part only modeling environment allowing you to work seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS Part files and import several neutral file formats. This connectivity makes it easy to work with customers and vendors to collaborate on the manufacturing process.

SOLIDWORKS CAM

Machinist Professional

SOLIDWORKS Machinist Professional provides SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional capabilities with SOLIDWORKS Parts and Assemblies to allow the user the ability to import and design fixtures and other manufacturing components used in the machining process. Also allows for machining multiple components. By using Assembly mode in SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional, automatic components avoidance can be used to ensure your programs do not collide with custom fixtures or vises.

Customer stories

The know-how of the SolidXperience optimization service has enabled LDV to achieve its productivity objectives, carry out large-scale projects and remain competitive against the competition.
Vincent Alie Design Director
Since implementing PDM, we have the foundation in place that we need to automate our processes, eliminate waste, and remove unnecessary costs.
Chip MontgomeryTeam Leader
Our success rate is so high because we’ve validated close correlation between the results we get from SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional and actual production, using photoelastic and microscopic analysis tools to confirm the software’s simulation results.
Jeffrey NicollPresident
With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we’ve reduced BOM generation time from hours to minutes, and the BOM information that we output is more accurate.
Shawn EckhardtControls Engineer
From incoming part lots to in-process assembly inspections, SOLIDWORKS Inspection software helps us catch more unacceptable parts and eliminate assembly issues.
Mark GerhartConfiguration Manage
With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly... It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD techniques.
Anderson ViecelliOwner and Engineering Manager
SOLIDWORKS Composer software gives us the capability to automate the creation of renderings and exploded views, which further enhances our understanding of the project.
Gary HagerSenior Project Manager/Engineer
What really sold me on SOLIDWORKS Visualize software was the ‘glass’ quality—how real it makes glass bottles look. We do a lot with glass and plastics, and we need a tool that provides the most photorealistic images possible. With the other packages, the glass quality was really not there, so we chose to standardize on SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
