You'll Never Need to Leave Your CAD Window

Benefits of Using SolidCAM in SOLIDWORKS

Benefits of Using InventorCAM in Inventor

Seamless CAD Integration

The complete, ‘Best-in-Class’ CAM Suite for Profitable CNC-Programming in SOLIDWORKS & Autodesk Inventor

SolidCAM's single-window integration into SOLIDWORKS® & Autodesk Inventor® means all machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified without leaving the SOLIDWORKS or Inventor assembly environment, avoiding endless and time wasting file imports.

Additionally, all 2D and 3D geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SOLIDWORKS and Inventor design models – If you make any changes to your CAD model, all of your CAM operations will be automatically updated.

— 01

  • Works right inside your existing CAD: Seamless integration in SOLIDWORKS & Autodesk Inventor
  • Full Associativity: Design changes initiate automatic tool path updates
  • Eliminates import/export challenges: Saves large amount of time and frustration
  • Gets you up to speed fastest: Extremely short learning curve because you're already familiar with our interface since it runs right inside your CAD
  • Get the full picture: SolidCAM & InventorCAM work in the CAD assembly mode to graphically show Fixtures, Tooling & Vices in simulations
— 02

  • SOLIDWORKS look and feel through seamless single window integration – with full support for modern 4K displays
  • Full associativity: toolpaths automatically update when the SOLIDWORKS model changes
  • SolidCAM works in the SOLIDWORKS assembly mode to define fixtures, tooling and vices
— 03

  • Inventor look and feel through seamless single window integration – with full support for modern 4K displays
  • Full associativity: toolpaths automatically update when the Inventor model changes
  • InventorCAM works in the Inventor assembly mode to define fixtures, tooling and vices

Customers RAVE about SolidCAM's CAD Integration

If changes are made on the design side, we capture them on the manufacturing side because SOLIDWORKS and SolidCAM are fully associative.
| Essai Corporation

The tight integration with SOLIDWORKS makes my design-to-production life cycle easy and fast.
| Kramer Designs Corporation

The ease of making CAM Gcode right within our SOLIDWORKS 3D modeler is hard to beat.
| fpvmanuals

The tight integration and powerful functionality of the Inventor + InventorCAM solution improved our productivity and it explains why the Inventor+InventorCAM solution is getting a strong following.
| GDK Technologies, Inc.

Our InventorCAM Package has made smooth and easy integration between design and manufacturing, making it easy to get our parts produced. This saves our customers money.
| Chugach Electric Association

InventorCAM seemed like a natural extension of Inventor... InventorCAM was extremely easy to learn. I was actually generating code the first week, and this is on our five axis CNC machine.
