Combined with the latest toolpath technology, SolidCAM 2.5D Milling provides the fastest, most powerful and easiest to create 2.5D CNC Milling toolpaths. Easily work on parts, assemblies, and sketch geometry to define your CNC machining operations. Quickly place fixtures and components for full visualization. Indexial 4/5-axis machining is where SolidCAM absolutely shines and where you will see incredible improvements in your workflow.

AFRM

Automatic Feature Recognition & Machining (AFRM) from SolidCAM sets the new standards for automating CAM Programming, including:

  • Pocket Recognition
  • Chamfering and Deburring
  • Advanced Drill Recognition
  • SolidCAM Hole Wizard
  • Drag & Drop Operations

HSR & HSM High Speed Machining

Unique machining and linking strategies for 3D high-speed toolpaths. It smooths the paths of both cutting moves and retracts, wherever possible, to maintain a continuous machine tool motion – an essential requirement for maintaining higher feed rates and eliminating dwelling.

  • 3D machining taken to an entirely new level of smoothness, efficiency and smart machining.
  • The finest toolpaths available anywhere for complex 3D parts, aerospace parts, molds, tools and dies.

Indexial 4/5-Axis Milling

A common scene in any machine shop today is that 4- and 5-axis CNC machines are increasing production, providing faster cycle times and the ability to manufacture parts completely in one setup only. SolidCAM provides an effective and easy way to program on multiple sides of a part.

Indexial 4/5-axis machining is where SolidCAM absolutely shines and where you will see incredible improvements in your workflow.

HSS High-Speed Surfacing

SolidCAM HSS is a high speed surface machining module for smooth and powerful machining of localized surface areas in the part, including undercuts. SolidCAM HSS provides easy selection of the surfaces to be machined with no need to define the boundaries, and supports both standard and shaped tools.

SolidCAM THSR and THSM

SolidCAM’s Turbo 3D HSR (THSR) and Turbo 3D HSM (THSM) are powerful High Speed Roughing (HSR) and High Speed Machining (HSM) modules for much faster calculations than the regular HSR / HSM modules. THSR and THSM offer unique machining and linking strategies for generating high-speed tool paths. The 3-Axis calculation engine recalculates the tool path at lightning speeds. Its 64-bit architecture completely utilizes all the cores for tool path calculations.

Simultaneous 5x Milling

Benefit from the most tested and proven 5-Axis machining tool paths in the industry, with a user-friendly interface, collision checking and the most advanced control over all aspects of the tool path:

  • Wide variety of Simultaneous 5X cutting strategies
  • Flow line cutting produces a toolpath that follows the natural shape of the component
  • Multi-surface finish machining keeps the tool normal to the surface (or with specified lead and lag) to provide a smooth surface finish
  • Advanced tool tilting control and direct control on side tilting and lead/lag angles
  • Automatic collision avoidance strategies that check each part of both the tool and holder
  • Multi-axis rest roughing efficiently removes the remaining material of the larger cutter diameter used previously
  • Realistic full 3D machine simulation with comprehensive collision and axis limits checking

Solid Probe

With probes, the setup of your CNC-parts becomes easier and the can be used to control the quality of machined parts right on the machine. Programming Probe cycles for Home definition and On-Machine Verification has never been easier.

The Solid Probe operations are based on the same geometry as 2.5D milling operations. The user interface provides full control over tolerances, different sorting options and a fast preview of cycle movements.

  • Easy Home definition
  • On-Machine Verification
  • Tool Presetter support
  • Easy geometry selection on solid model
  • Supports a wide range of probe cycles
  • Visualization of all the Probe tool movements
  • Support of different Probe controllers

Turning

SolidCAM provides a comprehensive turning package with powerful toolpaths and techniques for fast and efficient turning with fixture and holder protection.

SolidCAM’s Turning module produces advanced rough and finish profile turning, together with support for facing, grooving, threading and drilling cycles.

  • Turning geometries and profile can be generated very quickly, easily adopted or modified for production
  • The Machine Preview allows you to interactively, in machine environment, check and verify your setup and machine position at every stage of tool-path programming minimizing programming and setup errors
  • SolidCAM turning supports the widest range of machine tools, including 2-Axis lathes, multi-turret configurations with or without sub-spindles
  • Custom turning inserts, shape inserts with multiple cutting edges can be used

Mill-Turn Machining

The complete solution for advanced, multi-turret/multi-spindle Mill-Turn CNC Machines

Modern Mill-Turn CNC centers are designed to combine as many milling and turning operations as possible, to manufacture workpieces at maximum productivity.

Manual CNC programming of sophisticated parts on complex machines, directly at the machine controller is – if at all humanly possible – unproductive, error-prone and expensive.

Swiss Machining

Easy Programming for Complex Multiple Turret and Multiple Spindle Swiss CNC Machines

Swiss CNC turning centers are a cost-effective solution for machining small, complex, and precision parts. These advanced machines feed material through a guide bushing, and cut using linear or revolver tools, all in one setup. Swiss machines handle multiple operations simultaneously, efficiently automating the entire machining process.

Tools for CNC Operators

Empower your CNC Operators with tools for faster setups, editing and simulation

SolidCAM for Operators Tool Benefits
Minimize Reliance on ‘Dry-Runs’:  With SolidCAM for Operators, step-through each move in the G-Code program, reducing setup time and the need to ‘dry-run’ programs on the CNC.

Preventing CNC Machine and Tool Damage: Operators see full simulations so they can prevent unexpected crashes or collisions.

Working Efficiently: Operators can make minor adjustments, without needing to rely on the CAM Programmer, who is already busy programming the next part.

Full Setup Picture: SolidCAM for Operators enables the Operator to see all details of each operation, including Tools, Setup Definition, Stock Clamping, Work Offsets, and full simulation of the process.

Editor Mode

SolidCAM for Operators Editor enables the CNC machine Operator to open existing CAM parts, created by the SolidCAM Programmers, edit the operations if needed (e.g. change step down or change the tool speeds and feeds), recalculate, simulate, then post-process the new G-code, right by the CNC machine.

Simulator Mode

SolidCAM for Operators Simulator has no CAM part editing capabilities at all. It enables the CNC Operator to see the Tool table list with full details, to understand the clamping, the work offsets, and to see the simulation of the CAM Part, before running the G-Code on the CNC machine.
