CAMWorks
The most advanced CAM software available.
Overview
CAMWorks is an intelligent, feature-based CAM software that helps to increase productivity and maximize CNC machining efficiency. It is seamlessly integrated within SOLIDWORKS and Solid Edge, offering true associative machining that automatically accommodates changes to the part model.
✨ Key Features
- Seamless integration with SOLIDWORKS and Solid Edge
- Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR)
- Knowledge-Based Machining (TechDB)
- Tolerance Based Machining (TBM)
- High-Speed Machining (VoluMill)
- Virtual Machine Simulation
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Automatic Feature Recognition saves programming time
- Knowledge-based machining captures and reuses best practices
- Tolerance Based Machining uses MBD data to automate programming
Unique Value: Dramatically reduces CNC programming time by automating the process through feature recognition and a reusable knowledge database, all within your native CAD environment.
