SolidCAM除了秉承了一贯的功能强大，易学易用的特点外，新功能的增加也是SolidCAM的一大亮点，其中车铣复合与铣车复合功能的应用细分、车/铣复合机床仿真、HSS高速曲面加工、叶轮五轴加工专项模块、三坐标检测自动编程软件CMM，所有这些功能的增加都将极大提高使用者的行业竞争力。

SolidCAM是一套SolidWorks的先进计算机辅助制造工具。在SolidWorks同一操作环境下，免除档案转换引起数据的遗失、时间的延误，进行计算机辅助加工，过程更快捷方便。SolidCAM提供2.5轴铣削，3轴铣削，3＋2多边加工，5轴联动加工，车削＋驱动工具，2/4轴电火花加工（2/4）轴电火花加工（2/4轴线削）。SolidCAM系统优点包括：

● 速切削支援任何CNC控制器。

● 曲面或实体不需转换就可直接做2D或3D加工设定。

● 开创性的加工范本，可保存宝贵的加工技术与流程，只要修改加工图形即可快速产生所需的加工程式。

● 自动侦知残料，自动清角，3D棱线自动沿面加工，支援二次加工。

● 加工设定后，可快速计算产生NC程式，刀具可自动重新编号。

● 提供2D/3D刀具路径模拟，CAD图形模拟，素材模拟，实体模拟，残料显示，车床内/外径切削等多样的模拟，可显示数值并计算加工时间。

● 智慧型巡弋加工法：加工过程可全程无提刀，减少提刀再下刀的表面不良度。

● 支援G2/G3圆弧切削：一般机床也可快出平滑的曲面。

● 可纵向及横向来回做切槽，内/外径，轮廓，深槽，切断，端面切槽，车牙切削，过程一气呵成，无停滞期。

● 弹性的NURBS曲面，可与实体作几何运算，无相连的曲面可自动修补成单一曲面。

● 随时记录图形，即使突然断电也能保存最终设计图形 。

其特点在于它能够与SolidWorks的无缝集成，可在单一窗口内操作，而且与SolidWorks的设计流程互相关联。事实上，这个软件在工业产品制造、气车、航空工业、电子、模版工作及於快连制作样版时均被广泛使用。

SolidCAM presents revolutionary iMachining in action and the World Premiere of SolidCAM 2012 at SolidWorks World 2012.

Wherever and whenever the revolutionary iMachining for SolidCAM is shown, the result is always the same – astonishment! "Seeing is believing", as the newly initiated say they would not have believed the claims of up to 70% savings in machining time and dramatic tool life increase, if they had not just seen iMachining in action for themselves.

The same holds true for SolidCAM's 2012 release. With its new time saving "Parallel Computing", incredible new graphics and advanced cutting functionality, the obvious challenge for SolidCAM is to get people to understand and believe the advancements by showing, to as many people as possible, SolidCAM 2012 and iMachining in action. SolidCAM meets this challenge head-on with their participation in SolidWorks World 2012, in San Diego, CA, taking the show experience for attendees to an entirely new level.

For 11 years, SolidCAM has participated in SolidWorks World to give highlights of their product innovations and a chance to meet with SolidWorks resellers and users to fully understand exactly what it takes to be the best integrated CAM for SolidWorks.

This year, SolidCAM take its participation to an entirely new level with a laser focus on showing actual product programming and part cutting. Advances in HSM, automated sim. 5 axis SWARF cutting and expanded Turning Tool Catalog are also featured. Dr. Emil Somekh, Managing Director of SolidCAM commented, “the advancements that we have made in SolidCAM and iMachining are just incredible. If I did not get a chance to see them in action on a daily basis and hear the amazing feedback from our customers, I likely would not have believed how powerful they are. Our greatest challenge now is just getting the opportunity for people to actually experience SolidCAM and iMachining, so they too can be convinced this is for real".

About SolidCAM Ltd.

With over 27 years expertise in CAM development and applications, SolidCAM started out as a fully integrated CAD/CAM system. After many years of successful development, the founder, Dr. Emil Somekh, realized it was more efficient to focus on developing an integrated CAM system for SolidWorks and thus leverage all the power of the company to develop the CAM functionality and use the great import and CAD power of SolidWorks. This same architecture was used to later integrate with Inventor also.
