Description

Create and produce CAM toolpaths seamlessly without the need to switch between different software applications. Streamline your operations and minimize rework with integrated 2.5- to 5-axis milling, turning, and mill-turn capabilities right within your CAD environment. With a Fusion 360 subscription, HSMWorks is readily available to you. You can leverage a user-friendly interface that integrates effortlessly with robust design tools, thanks to the complete compatibility with SOLIDWORKS. Enhance your productivity with an extensive range of 2.5 and 3-axis milling strategies, ensuring efficient workflows. Moreover, simplify machine setup and achieve tighter tolerances through intuitive multi-axis programming. Experience the advantage of visualizing your machine tool's motion with simulations that encompass the spindle, fixtures, and all essential components of the machine. Easily program turning tasks, from straightforward 2-axis operations to complex mill-turn strategies, all while maintaining a streamlined workflow. Additionally, gain access to sophisticated design capabilities by associatively linking your SOLIDWORKS files to Fusion 360, making this feature exclusively available with your Fusion 360 subscription. This integration not only enhances your design process but also fosters collaboration between teams.

Description

SOLIDWORKS PCB streamlines the process of designing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) efficiently while fostering exceptional collaboration between electrical engineers and 3D mechanical design teams. This integration provides a significant benefit in scenarios where close ECAD-MCAD cooperation is vital for the successful development of electronic products. Users can define rigid-flex areas, layers, and stack thicknesses, facilitating the design of single board rigid-flex PCBs. Additionally, the regions of the rigid-flex layer stack can be specified with bend lines and angles, which can then be validated through 3D folding and component clearance checks to ensure the accuracy of the layout. Project management, design files, and documentation are seamlessly handled with the SOLIDWORKS PCB-PDM Connector, which enhances the PDM-based design and data management workflow. This system securely stores and organizes design data for quick access, alleviates worries related to version control and potential data loss, and allows for collaborative work on design data from various locations. The unmatched integration and collaboration between ECAD and MCAD offered by SOLIDWORKS ensures that all design data is unified, promoting efficiency and innovation in the product development process. This powerful synergy ultimately leads to improved product quality and faster time-to-market.
