SolidCAM will showcase its CAM programming solution for CNC machines directly integrated within SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor.
SolidCAM will showcase its CAM programming solution for CNC machines directly integrated within SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor. SolidCAM users can create prototypes, molds and production parts without having to leave the SolidWorks and Inventor design software environments, reducing programming time and file import/export challenges. Changes to the design model can therefore automatically update CNC machine tool paths.
SolidCAM also offers the iMachining intelligent toolpath generator and machine cutting conditions wizard, speeding toolpath generation, and providing guided cutting parameters and complex turn-mill and multi-axis machine compatibility.
