Question – Why Choose SolidCAM?

Answer – SolidCAM is great for any machinist. With a scaleble functionality to meet the demands of simple to the most comprehensive maching needs. Like SOLIDWORKS, its easy to use and easy to learn and fast to get up and running quickly.

Question – Do SOLIDWORKS develop SolidCAM?

Answer – No – SolidCAM is Gold partner product for SOLIDWORKS offering industry leading CAM capability. Gold Partner product means that SolidCAM directly integrated into the SOLIDWORKS User interface – So you are using one interface – Not swapping into a different application.

Furthermore, it uses the same SOLIDWORKS geometry – so there is no translation – And a change in design will reflect in any maching operations.

Question – Why do you recommend SolidCAM?

Answer – Because it is proven to deliver a great return on investment. We work directly with SolidCAM UK to recommend the right SolidCAM software solution, tailored with the right training and the correctly written post processor to work with your Machine Tools

Question  – What SolidCAM product is right for me?

Answer – We will need to understand your existing setup, products your manufacture and machine tools that you are using or are intending to use. Manufacturing is a critical link in the produict development chain so we need to get things right.

Question – Do I need SOLIDWORKS to use SolidCAM?

Answer – Yes – SolidCAM is an add on application that is underpinned by SOLIDWORKS.

Question – What is SolidCAM i Machining?
