Why CAMWorks CNC machining software?
CAMWorks is an intuitive, feature-based CAM software that helps to increase productivity using best-in-class technologies and adaptable automation tools to maximize CNC machining efficiency.
- Uses feature-based machining, machinable part features are recognized automatically, virtually eliminating repetitive programming tasks
- Captures and stores your best practices so that you are able to later utilize this as a knowledge-base for easier programming
- CAMWorks tool paths are associative and update automatically to design changes
First and best integrated CAM software in SOLIDWORKS
We are SOLIDWORKS Gold-level solution partner in CAM since 1998. CAMWorks is fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS.
As the first CAM solution to offer true knowledge-based machining capabilities, CAMWorks leads the way in advancements in Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR). CAMWorks offers true associative machining – automatically accommodating changes to the part model. This means that any modifications made to the design are automatically updated in the CAM data, which eliminates time consuming CAM system rework due to design alterations.
Thanks to its seamless integration with SOLIDWORKS, CAMWorks allows you to:
- Use and manage just one file for both CAD and CAM systems.
- Use the CAMWorks machining tree and commands at the click of a button along with SOLIDWORKS, plus generate toolpaths without leaving the familiar SOLIDWORKS environment.
- Use the same SOLIDWORKS geometry to generate toolpaths to ensure the part machined is the same as the part that is modeled.
- Eliminate time-consuming file transfers using standard file formats such as IGES and STP.
Feature Based Machining and recognition
Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) automatically recognizes over 20 types of prismatic features on native SolidWorks part models, reducing programing time by as much as 90% compared to traditional CAM software.
With CAMWorks, you have the ability to store machining strategies based on features, which becomes a time saving practice as you can reuse the strategies to reduce programming time significantly. If a design change is needed, the integration within SOLIDWORKS allows the toolpaths to automatically update with no need to re-program.
Feature-based machining and Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) within the software will ensure time savings when programming your CAD models. The AFR function will recognize over 20 types of machinable features in both imported and native CAD models. The option of Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) is also available for more complex multi-surface features and will still take advantage of the machining strategies to save your machining techniques.
Knowledge Based Machining
Allows you to capture and reuse your programmers’ best practices using the patented TechDB, reducing programming time by as much as 80% and provides a company owned database to store employee knowledge and skill.
Cut Your Setup Time – CAMWorks® Virtual Machine
Performs true G-code machine simulation directly from the G-code used for the CNC machine, eliminating dry runs and set up time.
CAMWorks Virtual Machine uses the latest technology to perform true G-code machine simulation directly from the G-code used for the CNC machine. We are the first CAM software to bring true G-code machine simulation directly integrated within the CNC programming environment. Unlike other CAM systems that use cutter location (CL) data for machine simulation, CAMWorks Virtual Machine uses the actual G-code to ensure precision and accuracy.
- Cut Setup Times by 50% or more
- True G-code Machine Simulation
- Full Collision Detection – including the tool, tool holder, machine components, and fixture
- Avoid Collisions and Broken Tools
- Reduce Maintenance Costs
- Extend Machine Life
Tolerance Based Machining
Uses tolerances and features in 3D models to automatically create CNC programs.
CAMWorks is an intuitive, feature-based CAM software that helps to increase productivity using best-in-class technologies and adaptable automation tools to maximize CNC machining efficiency.
The new ‘Machine to the Mean’ capabilities in CAMWorks eliminates long-standing issues surrounding differences between design practices required to tolerance parts based on fit, form and function vs. manufacturing’s need to machine geometry based on mean dimensions and tolerances.
Faster Cycle Times – CAMWorks® VoluMill
The ultra high-performance tool-path engine allows you to reduce your cycle time by 80% for complex 3D- shapes and prismatic parts.
CAMWorks® VoluMill™ is ideal for complex 3-D shapes and prismatic parts as its algorithms result in more intelligent toolpaths to machine pockets, slots, and arbitrary shapes. VoluMill is well suited for machining soft as well as hard materials that are hard to chip, such as titanium, nickel-based alloys or stainless steel. The result is increased efficiency and utilization of machines, tools, labor and materials.
The high-performance roughing module, combines optimal milling paths and maximum material removal with minimized machining times. VoluMill’s unique approach to high speed material removal allows the programmer to determine the optimum material removal rate for any combination of part geometry, material, machine, and cutting tool..
- Reduce your Cycle Times up to 80%
- Reduce your programming times up to 50%
- Increase your Cutting Tool Life up to 500%
