The integration strategy of SolidCAM, in the major 3D mainstream CAD systems, SolidWorks and Inventor, has created major growth for SolidCAM and established SolidCAM as the leaders in Integrated CAM. 

SolidCAM has the Certified Gold-product status from SolidWorks since 2003 and provides seamless, single-window integration and full associativity to the SolidWorks design model.

InventorCAM has the Autodesk certified product status and provides seamless, single-window integration and full associativity to the Inventor design model.

SolidCAM's powerful CAM products supports the complete range of major manufacturing applications including 2.5D Milling, High Speed Surface milling, 3D Milling/High-Speed Machining, Multi-sided Indexial 4/5 axes Milling, Simultaneous 5 axes Milling, Turning, Turn-Mill and WireEDM. 

SolidCAM's latest revolutionary iMachining technology puts SolidCAM and InventorCAM at the cutting edge of CAM Machining technology. iMachining can save up to 70% in machining time and increase tool life dramatically.

SolidCAM's current products, SolidCAM 2011 and InventorCAM 2012, have advanced through 27 years of continued development and improvements. The hallmarks of SolidCAM and InventorCAM are their ease of use, combined with their powerful CAM functionality and customized postprocessors that generate ready-to-go CNC-code. 

SolidCAM and InventorCAM are used in the mechanical manufacturing, electronics, medical, consumer products, machine design, automotive and aerospace industries, in mold, tool and die and rapid prototyping shops. 

With SolidCAM’s seamless single-window integration in SolidWorks and Inventor - any size organization can reap the benefits of the combined SolidWorks+SolidCAM or Inventor+InventorCAM solution.

SolidCAM today has more than 16,000 seats installed. SolidCAM is sold by a worldwide subsidiaries and reseller network in 50 countries. SolidCAM has been on a very rapid growth path since it implemented its CAD integration strategy, and has been named by CIMdata as the growth leader in CAM worldwide in five of the last seven years.
