At the beginning of April we released our new version SolidCAM2007 R11.1, an important update to the previously released version SolidCAM2007 R11.

SolidCAM2007 R11.1 includes functionality enhancements across all machining areas, including High-Speed-machining, Simultaneous 5-axes milling , Indexial 5-axes milling, Turning and Turn-Mill. A main focus of the new release are also improvements of the Wirecut module and the Postprocessor generation.

SolidCAM2007 R11.1 is the first version where we have applied our extended Quality Assurance Automatic procedures. The continuous rapid expansion of SolidCAM's functionality has necessitated the implementation of new automatic regression and testing processes, resulting in a robust software release.

Dear reader, if you want to learn more about our new version, please visit us at one of the coming events (see left column) or contact your local reseller.

  • SolidCAM at INDUSTRIE Lyon 2007
  • From March 6-9 the "INDUSTRIE Lyon 2007" show took place in Lyon in Southeast France, which is an important center of the mechanical engineering industry. The INDUSTRIE Lyon 2007 show covered the main manufacturing areas like machine tools, cutting & shaping tools, handling & robotics technologies and manufacturing automation software.

    SolidCAM exhibited SolidCAM2007 R11 in a joint booth together with Sillage, one of the French SolidWorks Resellers. Jean-Philippe Hervé, Manager of SolidCAM France, stated: "We team up with the SolidWorks resellers in France to combine their 3D CAD offering with our powerful CAM solution including SolidCAM software, proven post processors and excellent services. Furthermore we have now complemented our Paris-based support team by additional technical experts in the Lyon area, who will enhance our support in Southeast France".

  • Essai succeeds with SolidCAM+SolidWorks
  • One of the fastest growing companies in California’s Silicon Valley is Essai Corporation, a leading provider of semiconductor test and validation interconnects. Essai's products like sockets and test boards are used globally by semiconductor manufacturers to test the functionality and reliability of Integrated Circuit boards.

    A main reason the company has grown so quickly and succeeded in a highly competitive market is its integrated approach to manufacturing. After choosing SolidWorks for the design work, Essai evaluated a variety of CAM programs and finally decided for SolidCAM. Besides the seamless integration in SolidWorks, Essai required a broad range of functionality with special emphasis on simultaneous 5-axis machining. Essai is manufacturing sophisticated, custom parts, and "SolidCAM provides the robust capabilities our manufacturing personnel need to produce accurate, quality parts consistently".
