SolidCAM is a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software used to program CNC machines for milling, turning, and mill-turn operations. It is fully integrated into CAD environments, allowing machining programs to be created directly from design data.
SolidCAM is used to generate CNC toolpaths for manufacturing parts on CNC machines. Engineers and machinists use it to plan machining operations, optimise cutting strategies, and produce accurate, machine-ready NC code.
SolidCAM supports a wide range of machining operations, including 2.5-axis milling, 3-axis milling, multi-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn machining. These capabilities allow users to program both simple and complex parts.
SolidCAM operates as a fully integrated CAM solution within supported CAD platforms. This integration allows toolpaths to update automatically when design changes are made, maintaining a direct link between design and manufacturing.
iMachining is a patented machining technology within SolidCAM that automatically calculates optimal cutting parameters. It helps control tool engagement, improve cutting efficiency, and reduce tool wear during machining operations.
SolidCAM is commonly used by CNC programmers, manufacturing engineers, and machinists involved in producing machined components across various industries, including general manufacturing, tooling, and precision engineering.
SolidCAM supports manufacturing efficiency by providing advanced toolpath strategies, automated machining features, and reliable post-processing. This helps reduce programming time and improve machining consistency.
SolidCAM is well suited for complex CNC parts that require multi-axis machining or advanced toolpath control. Its machining strategies support accurate material removal and detailed part geometry.
SolidCAM is typically used after CAD design and before machining. It bridges the gap between design and the CNC machine by converting design geometry into executable machining programs.
