I wanted to share this feedback if SolidCAM network meet this situation also.įuture challenge for CAM solutions are not only about CAM strategies or Feature, it's also (or maybe mainly) about data managementīy the way, It's the reason why SolidCAM France recommend to their customers internal CAM project rather than external CAM project and push SC development into this way.SolidCAMCAD 2021 SP4 HF1 Standalone Multilingual (圆4) It's also a recurrent thematic when we a address medium/ big sized company. These subjects, as well as the importance to store CAD and CAM data in a PDM always come to the table when I'm doing demonstration against French competitors that claims also the advantage of integrated CAD/CAM solution. It allow to keep links with imported CAD model / CATIA / ProE / IV / NX native formats and STEP/IGES importation formats trough SolidWorks and SolidCAM files.

' 3D interconnect ' feature of SW is also a major advantages regarding other integrated CAD/CAM solution or compared to separated CAD+CAM solution. ' Direct editing ' features of SW are also some important CAD features to handle tolerance in case of CAM programming from imported CAD model. SC utilities - Switch tolerance in medium tolerances.png īy getting native SW files, machinist can add tolerances and convert 3D model to medium tolerance in one click before start machining through SolidCAM.īy this way SolidCAM users maximize the chance to get a machined part inside tolerance on machine. Tolerance handling is a difficulty that any CAM programmer/Machinist meets when come time to work on imported CAD model.

It's a point that CAD/CAM competitors demonstrate and that can be decisive at the beginning of demonstration if we miss it. It's a major advantage that reinforce the importance of integrated CAD/CAM solution compared to a separated CAD+CAM solution (VS Esprit, MasterCAM etc) That's a very important point for SolidCAM users because: In a time where industrial talk about industry 4.0 and Digital continuity, we should all insists on why SolidCAM CAD/CAM integrated solution is better than a CAD+CAM separated solution.įrom our website, all our users can download SolidCAM utilities that allow to convert SolidWorks files in medium tolerance before to start SolidCAM project.
