SOLIDWORKS CAM

SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is now included as part of a Subscription Services membership.

A fully integrated, knowledge-based technology, SOLIDWORKS CAM allows you to integrate the design and manufacturing processes into one system. By utilizing a “Design For Manufacturing,” strategy and evaluating designs early in the project lifecycle you can avoid unexpected costs and/or delays, eventually seeing your projects to completion on time and on budget.

SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is the fastest and easiest way to create 2.5 axis toolpaths on part files (Milling, Waterjet, Plasma, Laser, and Router). SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard leverages a rules database to streamline your programming process and capture your Model-Based Definition (MBD) tolerances to standardize your workflows.
