The suite includes four main CAM offerings tailored for diverse manufacturing needs. These packages include:
Each solution is designed to address specific aspects of manufacturing, from CNC milling operations up to three axes to advanced programming needs involving five-axis mills and complex mill-turn machines.
SOLIDWORKS Extended CAM offerings
DELMIA’s suite of CAM offerings consists of four main solutions, each designed to meet specific manufacturing needs and tailored to different manufacturing requirements. This ensures that a variety of programming needs are met with precision and efficiency.
Shop Floor Programmer is the cornerstone of the manufacturing suite, enabling CNC milling operations to be programmed for up to three axes. An intuitive interface makes part setup fast and repeatable. Full kinematic machine simulation is included with every license to ensure error-free machining.
SOLIDWORKS Milling Professional allows the programming of mills with two to three axes, with additional capabilities for some five-axis motion. This is especially beneficial for mold or die makers who require excellent surface quality, as advanced toolpath algorithms are used to process surface cuts and eliminate faceting.
Empowering precision and efficiency on the shop floor
In the rapidly evolving manufacturing industry, these SOLIDWORKS CAM offerings play a pivotal role. Every CAM license includes full kinematics, ensuring that machine simulations are conducted without errors. This feature is crucial for maintaining high precision in CNC programming, increasingly demanded by industries striving for perfection in manufacturing processes.
The bottom line
With solutions tailored for a variety of needs—from basic CNC milling operations to advanced mill-turn capabilities—the needs of diverse manufacturing environments are efficiently met. High precision and efficiency are ensured through the integration of full kinematic machine simulations and advanced toolpath algorithms, facilitating error-free machining and exceptional surface quality.
