SolidCAM
If you love SolidWorks software but hate your present
manufacturing suite's integration and associativity with its design
model…we've got great news!
DesignPoint integrates SolidCAM 3D CAD software, the complete,
'best-in-class' Manufacturing Suite for efficient and profitable
CNC-Programming inside SolidWorks.
3D mechanical design
software, SolidCAM, is an integrated CAM engine for
SolidWorks that supports 2.5D/3D milling, multisided indexical
4/5-axis milling, simultaneous 5-axes milling, turning, turn-mill
and wireEDM. SolidCAM provides seamless, single-window integration
and full associativity to the SolidWorks design model, including
parts, assemblies and configurations. It offers major enhancements
in 3D CAD software, CAM functionality, and CNC rapid prototyping,
spanning most of the range of CAM modules in SolidCAM.
Rapid Prototyping Tooling Solutions made easy…
For more than a decade, thousands of customers worldwide
have relied on the performance of innovative CNC rapid prototyping
solutions provided by SolidCAM. The hallmarks of SolidCAM are its
ease-of-use combined with its powerful CAM functionality and
customized postprocessors that generate ready-to-go CNC-code. Since
SolidCAM was designed with the needs of shop floor personnel in
mind, our instructors only require a short training period to show
skilled workers and machine operators how to turn designs into
actual parts, faster and easier than they could with competitor's
products. SolidCAM is widely used in Mechanical Manufacturing,
Automotive and Aerospace industries, Electronics, Mold&Die
shops and CNC Rapid Prototyping.
Seamless Integration and Full
Associativity
With the single-window integration of SolidCAM in SolidWorks, all
machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified
without leaving the SolidWorks assembly environment. All 2D and 3D
geometries used for machining are fully associative to the
SolidWorks design model. In a single CAM-part, several SolidWorks
configurations can be used. Each configuration can represent an
independent state or production step of a work piece.
When the geometry used to define a machining operation is
changed in the SolidWorks design, SolidCAM lets the user
automatically synchronize all machining operations with the updated
geometry. The full associativity to the SolidWorks design model
reduces errors in rapid prototyping tooling when the model changes
and facilitates the process where updates are received for models
already machined.
Our success - Products and strategies that truly deliver on
what they promise, without compromise and disappointment.
- The highest possible level of integration to both SolidWorks
and Inventor, allowing CAM programmers to use the CAD system they
already have to program their CNC machines.
- True Associativity to design model, with seamless toolpath
updates when changes are made.
- Elimination of file imports.
- Empower our users with the best and most powerful CAM tools to
program their way. Never presuming we know how to program
parts better than they do, by providing endless numbers of
"automagic" toolpaths that will later have to be modified by the
user to get what they really want.
- Xpress - SolidCAM has created innovative product packaging like
our SolidCAM Xpress and InventorCAM Xpress that are based
entirely on the full SolidCAM and InventorCAM solutions.
Besides their unbeatable price, they provide the following
advantages:
- Unlike other low-cost CAM products that result in a dead-end
when it comes to Advanced Geometry Programming, Multi-axis milling,
Mill-Turn or Wire EDM machine programming, SolidCAM Xpress and
InventorCAM Xpress are completely scalable for all CNC machine
types. Customers won't outgrow SolidCAM, so this is the last
CAM solution they will ever need to purchase.
- Users will be getting a head-start as they get up to speed in
SolidCAM Xpress and InventorCAM Xpress - adding modules or
applications is just an extension of what they already know.
- The money paid for SolidCAM Xpress and InventorCAM Xpress can
even be put towards advanced modules, so customers can grow at
their own pace without worrying about a financial hit if they don't
buy advanced packages upfront.
- iMachining - This breakthrough in toolpath technology finally
delivers on the promise of intelligent toolpaths that can be used
by everyone, with all types of equipment, to drastically speed up
cycle times and save on tool and machine wear. Unlike other
systems that leave the user guessing, with a stockpile of broken
cutters, iMachining comes complete with a Technology Wizard,
that provides a reliable partner in determining speeds and feeds
and other machining parameters to get the most performance possible
out of the existing equipment.
- Complete tracking of stock conditions throughout the entire
programming sequence ensures that each programming step will only
focus on remaining stock, drastically reducing air cuts and wasted
machine time. Our advanced HSM systems also optimizes tool
paths, reduces retracts and produce excellent surface finish
with reduced cycle times.
- Our devotion to SolidWorks or Inventor's look, feel , form and
function ensure a user feels right at home with our CAM functions
right at their fingertips. Our SolidCAM professor videos also
provide hundreds of easy to follow, tightly focused on a specific
function, tutorial videos available 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year, right on our website without even a login.
