Who is SolidCAM and why can they do what other CAM suppliers can’t?

Founded 1984

With over 29 years expertise in CAM development and applications, SolidCAM started out as a fully integrated CAD/CAM system. After many years of successful development, the founder, Dr. Emil Somekh, realized it was more efficient to focus on developing an integrated CAM system for SolidWorks and thus leverage all the power of the company to develop the CAM functionality and use the great import and CAD power of SolidWorks. This same architecture was used to later integrate with Inventor also.

Our Mission

To provide a powerful, easy-to-use, complete, integrated CAD/CAM solution that allows manufacturers to leverage what they already have, for improved efficiency and profits and prepare them for higher level machining.  

SolidCAM's revolutionary iMachining technology saves 70% in CNC machining time and more..and extends tools' life dramatically. iMachining provides unbelievable savings and increased efficiency in your milling CNC operations, translating into profits and success. All SolidCAM customers worldwide, who bought iMachining, are enjoying these immense savings!

Our success – Products and strategies that truly deliver on what they promise, without compromise

  • The highest possible level of integration to 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.
  • Xpress - SolidCAM has created innovative product packaging like our SolidCAM Xpress and InventorCAM Xpress that provide a graetb way to start with SolidCAM or InventorCAM. 
  • 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 dramatically speed up cycle times and save on tool and machine wear. Unlike other systems that leave the user guessing, 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.
  • 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.
