CAMWORKS PREMIUM

Automatically recognizes over 20 types of features on SOLIDWORKS part models, reducing programming time by as much as 90% compared to traditional CAM software.

Capture and reuse your programmers’ best practices, reducing programming time by as much as 80% and provide a database to store employee knowledge.

Program prismatic features using 2.5 axis milling operations such as Roughing, Finishing, Face Milling, Thread milling and single point (Drilling, Boring, Reaming, & Tapping) cycles.

Run multiple parts in one program, whether you’re running a Vertical/Horizontal Machining Center or a Router, Plasma or Laser. Import programs from part files to the assembly to streamline production and use fixture avoidance to produce collision-free programs.

CAMWorks will automatically calculate the indexing angles when machining multiple setups. Optimize your programs to minimize setup times and reduce tool changes whether you’re programming for a tombstone, a trunnion, or a gantry 5 axis machine.

Optimize tool engagement and minimize tool wear using Volumill high feed/speed toolpath whilst reducing cycle times by up to 80%.

Program quad turret, dual spindle mill-turn lathes for a broad range of turning strategies such as roughing, grooving, finishing, threading and hole-making along with support for C/Y/indexed B axis milling operations with live tooling and part transfer capability for sub-spindle machines.

Advanced 5 axis rough milling capabilities including area roughing, plunge roughing,and rest machining to minimize air cutting.

Advanced 5 axis finishing strategies including swarf and port machining, engraving, and dedicated cycles for impeller machining. Use automatic holder checking to automatically convert 3 axis toolpath to 5 axis toolpath quickly and easily. 

Program drilling operations in 5 axis with control over rapid repositioning.

Program 3D contoured surfaces using an Area Clearance roughing operation, and Z-Level and Flat Area finishing operations.

Utilize SOLIDWORKS Model Based Definition (MBD) dimensions and tolerances to automatically adjust machining strategies and program parts quicker and within specification.

If you use multiple configurations in SOLIDWORKS for creating a part family, minimize your programming time by copying program from one configuration to the next. Simplify file management by programming multiple operations for different CNC machines in one file.

Edit, backplot and transfer your code to the CNC

Program your 2 axis dual spindle lathe easily using Automatic Feature Recognition to find face, OD & ID features, grooves and cutoffs. Program part transfers between the Main and Sub Spindle including standard transfers, grab and pull, and phase and speed synchronization.

Program 4th axis wrapped features in CAMWorks Standard, including wrapped pockets, slots, open profiles, and engraving.

Synchronize multiple channels using wait codes to reduce cycle times. Drag and drop make it easy to move tools and operations from one turret to another and using the CAMWorks Sync Manager, the tool station number, cut direction, and tool paths are all updated automatically.

With CAMWorks Virtual Machine Standard you can back plot the CL Data while seeing the machine kinematics, dry-runs for program validations are eliminated and setup time is dramatically reduced. Full Collision Detection and Avoidance technology provide the ability to thoroughly check programs for accuracy and avoid costly machine collisions and programming errors, ultimately reducing scrap and improving overall quality.

Collision detection looks at each toolpath and the surfaces to decide if the tool tip, tool shaft or holder is colliding. The check is done at each calculated tool position. Groups of surfaces can be defined, each with its own avoidance strategy.

Program multi-turret, dual spindle B axis machines with a broad range of turning strategies such as roughing, grooving, finishing, threading and hole making along with support for C/Y/B axis milling operations up to 5 axis simultaneous with live tooling, and part transfer and synchronous machining capabilities.
