Delcam for SolidWorks is a Dassault Systémes SolidWorks Corp. Certified Gold Product that revolutionizes CAM programming inside SolidWorks. Developed by the largest CAM development team in the world, Delcam for SolidWorks integrates the feature-based technology from FeatureCAM with PowerMILL’s ‘best in class’ multi- threaded toolpath algorithms into one completely embedded solution, through the world-renowned SolidWorks CAD system. Delcam for SolidWorks provides the most advanced manufacturing solution to the SolidWorks community, based on over 40 years of CADCAM expertise.

Why Choose Delcam for SolidWorks?

Using the latest functionality from FeatureCAM and PowerMILL, Delcam for SolidWorks has been developed in response to requests from customers looking to undertake their CAM programming from within the SolidWorks environment. Delcam for SolidWorks offers 2-axis, 3-axis, 5-axis positional and simultaneous milling and drilling, turning and turn/mill, enabling users to perform simple, automated operations or machine complex shapes in a single set-up. Delcam’s innovative technologies in future releases will cover the full range of machining operations, including b-axis turn/mill and multiple turret turning.

Delcam for SolidWorks provides all the benefits associated with Delcam FeatureCAM’s feature-based machining system, including:• Strong focus on ease-of-use• Knowledge-based automation for consistent and reliable results• Automatic selection of cutting tools, machining strategies and feeds and speeds• Exceptional toolpath calculation speed

Based on Delcam’s proven machining algorithms that are already used by more than 35,000 customers around the world, this technology is fully integrated into the SolidWorks environment so that the program looks and behaves like SolidWorks.

The Biggest Name in CAM meets the Biggest Name in CAD

Delcam for SolidWorks – Features and Benefits

Features:• Multi-threaded 3-axis toolpath operations• 2.5D toolpath creation• 3+2 toolpath creation• 5-axis simultaneous toolpath creation• Drilling • Turning• Turn/mill• Full machine simulation • Set Up Wizards• Customisable templates • Different styles of feature recognition, including:

Automatic Feature Recognition• Simply select the model• Delcam for SolidWorks finds all the features and applies toolpaths automatically

Interactive Feature Recognition• Users specify which feature types are to be recognised• Delcam for SolidWorks finds all the features of the specified type in a single operation

SolidWorks Feature Recognition• Toolpaths can be generated directly from SolidWorks feature definitions• Features can be selected graphically or from the SolidWorks Feature Manager tree

Fully associative features can also be defined from selected edges or sketches in Delcam for SolidWorks. This includes existing sketches or sketches created ‘on-the-fly’.

Benefits:

One-Window Solution• Works inside the SolidWorks assembly environment • Uses all SolidWorks viewing and modelling tools• All SolidWorks interface functionality is maintained, such as keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, shortcut menus, etc.

Fully Associative• Toolpaths update automatically for both 2.5D and 3D models if the model changes• CAM functions are contained in the assembly and do not alter the original SolidWorks part

Additional Benefits• Easy to learn • Quick automated programming• Confidence to run parts first time • Automated feature creation• Full control of all machining parameters, enabling users to edit operations as required• Wide range of proven post processors for all leading machine tools
