![]() ![]() CAMWorks is an embedded CAM program that is fully integrated with Solid Edge. The new version provides even tighter integration with Solid Edge, Siemens PLM Software’s 3D CAD software, to speed programming time and accelerate time-to-market. announced the shipment of CAMWorks for Solid Edge users. The goal was to create a CAD-like workflow for CAM so engineers and designers would not have to learn a whole new software system. ![]() ![]() To alleviate some of these issues, CAD-integrated CAM packages began to emerge. The format created by CAD programs doesn’t seamlessly transfer to the CAM program and engineers are often accused of “lobbing” models over to manufacturing for them to deal with. There’s traditionally been a bit of a divide between engineering and manufacturing, possibly a result of the fact that they “talk” different languages in that they use disparate systems. They are also interfacing more frequently with the manufacturing personnel running CNC machines. The same cannot necessarily be said on the CAM side, where progress to innovate tools has been slower.Īs the costs of modern machining technology has dropped and become more accessible, more and more designers and engineers tasked with outsourcing prototyping or doing it in-house are getting more involved with the CAM side of the equation. After all, designers and engineers are using modern CAD tools to design the next great product, or at least the next great version of a product. Innovation is today’s CAD products is somewhat expected by users who constantly demand the next level of functionality. ![]()
