SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional

For CNC machinists aiming to exceed the usual limits, SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional—powered by CAMWorks—brings advanced features. Designed for intricate projects and improved production efficiency, this software seamlessly connects design and manufacturing. It provides unmatched precision and flexibility.

Advanced Features of SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional

  • Turning and Mill-Turn Capabilities: This software shines in single turret turning. Leveraging automatic feature recognition and knowledge-based machining for turning tasks, it’s a game-changer for those seeking to streamline their design to turning workflow. The result? A more efficient and productive machining process.
  • 3+2 Milling: Experience the capabilities of 4 and 5-axis machining centers. They come with pre-positioning for the fourth and fifth axes. This feature cuts down setup time and enables the quick crafting of complex parts.
  • High-Speed Machining: Using VoluMill technology, it fine-tunes toolpaths. This significantly lowers cutting tool costs and cycle times. The result? Quicker production and less equipment wear and tear.
  • Assembly Machining: Use SOLIDWORKS assemblies to design and machine complex fixtures or part groups. The software smartly adjusts toolpaths to dodge fixtures, boosting automation and machining focus.

Rules-Based Machining

SOLIDWORKS CAM uses rules-based machining to enhance the programming process while leveraging tolerances 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 create machine programs automatically. 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 machine the geometry best. These rules automatically allow you to define repeatable machining processes based on your company's standards.

Associativity with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

p>Any change made to a design in SOLIDWORKS CAD is automatically updated, applied, and reflected in SOLIDWORKS CAM.

Automatic Feature Recognition

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 Times

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 costs when machining components.

Turning Capabilities

SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional has turning capabilities, including face rough and finish, rough and finish turn, groove rough and finish, rough and finish bore, cut-off, ID and OD threading, drill, and tap on center.

Part Modeling/Import

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

Assembly Modeling/Import

Assemblies take your components to the next level by allowing us to check fits and tolerances, plus explain to manufacturers how we want to build our products. By using assemblies for manufacturing, we can import clamps and vises to make sure our parts are made the first time correctly and provide the necessary clearances to be able to remove the finished product when it is completed.
