SolidCAM is a leading provider of integrated CAM systems for CNC manufacturing. SolidCAM GmbH employs more than 85 staff at its headquarters in Schramberg and at seven further sites across Germany. The software works directly inside SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor and Solid Edge — CAD and CAM in a single interface.
Its unique feature is the patented iMachining technology: an intelligent high-speed milling strategy for roughing that cuts machining times by 70 per cent and more and multiplies tool life; the Technology Wizard calculates the optimum cutting data from the very first part. Added to this are modules for 2.5D milling, 3D high-speed machining (HSR/HSM), turning, MillTurn+ for turn-mill centres, CNC sliding-head turning, simultaneous 5-axis milling and Solid Probe for probing and measuring on the machine.
Modular training courses on SOLIDWORKS and SolidCAM — from beginner to expert — and an annual update service contract with the latest versions and technical support complete the offering. For medical technology, SolidCAM is the programming environment for instruments and implants on turn-mill centres and sliding-head lathes in many companies in the region.
