SOLIDWORKS CAM is an add-on to SOLIDWORKS CAD powered by CAMWorks that uses rules-based machining to connect design and manufacturing in a single environment around a 3D model. It enables manufacturability earlier in development by allowing concurrent design and manufacturing, with automatic associativity so SOLIDWORKS changes update toolpaths. It offers Standard, Professional, and Machinist packages with features like high-speed machining, 3+2 programming, turning, assembly machining with fixture support, and automatic feature recognition enabled by TBM, KBM, and AFR.
