Description

Utilize a single software solution to program any job efficiently. NX CAM offers an all-encompassing and integrated approach to NC programming within one platform, allowing for consistent use of 3D models, data, and methodologies that link planning directly to shop floor activities through a digital thread. This comprehensive system enables the streamlining and automation of NC programming processes, significantly minimizing cycle times through powerful, specialized tools. Whether you're engaged in 2.5-axis machining, mold manufacturing, simultaneous 5-axis milling, or high-volume production, NX empowers users to enhance part quality and speed up production using just one CAM software. You can develop precisely controlled 5-axis tool paths for the effective machining of intricate shapes. By leveraging application-specific features, you can notably decrease programming time and establish intelligent, collision-free cutting operations. Techniques such as high-speed machining, automated rest milling, and refined finishing processes facilitate the creation of molds and dies that achieve a near-mirror finish while also shortening lead times. Additionally, the integration of these capabilities ensures a seamless workflow, enhancing overall productivity and quality in manufacturing processes.

Description

SOLIDWORKS® CAM, which is powered by CAMWorks, employs rules-based technology to seamlessly merge design and manufacturing within a single application, fostering collaboration between design and manufacturing teams through a unified software tool and 3D model. This add-on for all SOLIDWORKS CAD versions allows for earlier preparation of designs for manufacturability during the development cycle. Tasks related to manufacturing that previously required the completion of a design can now be executed simultaneously with the design phase. As a result, SOLIDWORKS CAM solutions facilitate a swift transition from design to manufacturing via an integrated workflow. The SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard version enables quick programming of individual milled parts and configurations directly within the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment, ensuring efficiency. Users also have comprehensive control over establishing rules within SOLIDWORKS CAM to align with their company standards and implement Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM), ultimately enhancing productivity and consistency in the manufacturing process. This integration represents a significant advancement in how design and manufacturing can work together harmoniously.
