This will enable them to incorporate design decisions and revisions based on the limits of their machining and manufacturing capabilities.īy making more informed design decisions based on this knowledge, design teams can machine prototypes and manufacture them inhouse, which will enable them to control quality, time to market and delivery costs. (Image courtesy of SOLIDWORKS.)įor designers and engineers, access to SOLIDWORKS CAM means having a better understanding of how their 3D data will be interpreted by rules-based machining with knowledge-based machining (KBM) captured for manufacturing. The decision to include SOLIDWORKS CAM with SOLIDWORKS 2018 is part of long-term strategy to build a comprehensive and robust manufacturing ecosystem. SOLIDWORKS CAM for 2.5-axis milling and turning is powered by long-time SOLIDWORKS partner CAMWorks (click for video).
SOLIDWORKS CAM is designed to automate manufacturing programming for 3D data created in SOLIDWORKS 2018, marking another step toward manufacturing information arriving in the shop without drawings. Let’s first focus on all you get with SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard (call it SOLIDWORKS CAM for short). The Pro version, which contains additional features, is still an extra cost add-in.More on the Pro version later. Every user of SOLIDWORKS 2018 on subscription can have SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard at no additional cost.
