The book covers the basic concepts and frequently used commands and options you’ll need to know to advance from a novice to an intermediate level CAMWorks user. In addition, the machining time estimated in CAMWorks provides an important piece of information for estimating product manufacturing cost without physically manufacturing the product. Capabilities in CAMWorks allow you to select CNC machines and tools, extract or create machinable features, define machining operations, and simulate and visualize machining toolpaths. CAMWorks provides excellent capabilities for machining simulations in a virtual environment. CAMWorks is embedded in SOLIDWORKS as a fully integrated module.


CAMWorks is a virtual machining tool designed to increase your productivity and efficiency by simulating machining operations on a computer before creating a physical product. CAMWorks is also fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS, which means that users can work within the familiar user interface of SOLIDWORKS as they program the CNC code for their parts, according to CAMWorks.This book is written to help you learn the core concepts and steps used to conduct virtual machining using CAMWorks. Technologies such as feature-based programming, knowledge-based machining and TechDB allow users to automate their CAD/CAM functions. In the 1990s, CIMTechnology established its business by writing and selling the Impact CAD/CAM System for wire EDM through Sodick, as well as developing Brother's PC-based conversational programming system for its drilling and tapping centers.ĬAMWorks products include a range of milling and lathe solutions, in addition to wire EDM. Its wire EDM technology was previously sold through OEM partners as stand-alone systems or as technology added to current programming systems. The partnership with CAMWorks and CIMTechnology will allow customers of both companies access to a culmination of technology and a wider range of CNC programming options, according to the companies.ĬIMTechnology has specialized in wire EDM for more than 30 years. This will provide CAMWorks users access to more advanced wire EDM programming functionality for precise and intricate part cutting, according to the companies. As part of the agreement, CIMTechnology’s Wire EDM programming software will be exclusive to CAMWorks. Noida, India-HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global technology company, recently announced a CAMWorks partnership with CIMTechnology LLC, a leading provider of wire EDM software.
