SolidCAM 2023 SP2 HF1 for Solid Edge 2020-2024

SolidCAM is renowned computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software that integrates directly into various CAD systems, including SolidWorks. It provides the tools to create efficient and accurate toolpaths for CNC machining operations. SolidCAM aims to streamline the process of turning a computer-generated design into a physical part by generating toolpaths that control the movement of a CNC machine.

This system is a comprehensive solution for the automation of metalworking production. Using a range of strategies provided by SolidCAM for turning, milling, turning, and discharge machining, technicians can quickly prepare the set of control programs required for product machining.

Features of SolidCAM for Solid Edge

• SolidCAM provides efficiency and high precision for 2.5-axis milling of parts. Different processing strategies are supported for elements such as contours, selections (with islands) and grooves, as well as different types of hole handling: drilling, reaming, threading, etc.
• SolidCAM offers a wide range of tools that can be effectively used to process products with complex shapes (moulds, dies) and prismatic parts. The geometry for 3D machining is a 3D surface or solid model. The system supports various types of roughing and finishing strategies, such as raster processing with specified or automatically defined raster angles, equidistant processing, projection processing, waterline processing, and more.
• SolidCAM also provides tools to identify and refine areas that have not been processed in previous transformations. A database of typical technological processes can be created.
• SolidCAM provides a variety of tools for creating multi-axis machining programs on 4- and 5-axis machining centers.
• SolidCAM has many functions for automatically generating turning and milling control programs. SolidCAM supports a wide variety of tools, making it possible to efficiently perform longitudinal turning, faceting, grooving, and more.
• The set of wire EDM strategies provided by SolidCAM allows you to process inner and outer contours with constant and variable tilt angles. 4-axis processing capability is provided. A special algorithm prevents the material being handled from falling. SolidCAM provides the user with the means to control the physical parameters of the processing along the entire trajectory of the wire.
