SolidCAM provides seamless single-window integration and full associativity with the SolidWorks design model.

Deniz Valle, Essai Corporation operations manager says: “Because SolidCAM is completely integrated with SolidWorks CAD software, we are actually building our CAM programming within SolidWorks.

"This approach shortens the learning curve for programmers, offers greater geometry editing and manipulation power to manufacturing, and provides a common tool for supporting interaction between designers and machinists."

"The integrated approach facilitates discussion and resolution of manufacturing issues because everyone is working with the same model and the same modeler. We communicate issues and features a lot better working with an integrated system.”

You never have to leave the SolidWorks' window
 
With the single-window integration of SolidCAM in SolidWorks, all machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified without leaving the parametric SolidWorks assembly environment. 

All 2D and 3D geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SolidWorks design model. If you do any changes to your SolidWorks model, all your CAM operations will be automatically updated. In a single CAM-part, several SolidWorks configurations can be used. Each configuration can represent an independent state or production step of a workpiece.

The integrated CAD/CAM-Solution SolidWorks+SolidCAM is available from SolidCAM at a competitive Bundle-Price.
