SOLIDWORKS CAM Pro: Getting Familiar with CAM Configurations

SOLIDWORKS CAM Pro: Getting Familiar with CAM Configurations

Many people have been using configurations on the SOLIDWORKS side but are not aware of the possibility of using CAM configurations in SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional. Different CAM configurations can be created to program different versions of the same part or those with geometric changes.

We will review how to create a mill configuration and a turning configuration, and use the exact same part that was used in the previous configuration to be worked on.

How to Utilize Design Tables in SOLIDWORKS

How to Utilize Design Tables in SOLIDWORKS

Working with SOLIDWORKS and Excel in the same space is very common. But what if you could use Excel tables inside SOLIDWORKS to control configurations? Or to suppress features, change dimensions and materials? Then you wouldn't have to worry about affecting other configurations. Now, there are different ways for us to create the design tables. In this blog, we will create design tables for the net magnet part using “auto-create” and inserting a blank table.

Exploring Mass Properties in SOLIDWORKS

Exploring Mass Properties in SOLIDWORKS

Creating a part to be as realistic as possible allows us to make accurate models in SOLIDWORKS. If an accurate value for mass is needed, how can that be achieved? What about coordinates for center of mass, or design volume?
