GET YOUR SOLIDWORKS PARTS INTO PRODUCTION QUICKLY AND EASILY

Edgecam Solid Machinist reads your native SolidWorks design exactly as it was created. Edgecam's innovative features allow you to quickly analyze models with Automatic Feature Recognition, automate repetitive tasks with Strategy Manager, and create your G-Code with Code Wizard. This comprehensive machining strategy means that NC code can be generated right the first time.

When a SolidWorks part is opened in Edgecam Solid Machinist, it is maintained as a solid model, exactly as it was created. At a single click, Edgecam Solid Machinist uses Automatic Feature Recognition to interrogate the solid model to find machinable features.

Edgecam Solid Machinist incorporates true "toolpath to model associativity" meaning that late changes to the model will not affect the manufacturing lead time. The toolpath is associative to the native CAD model, so Edgecam Solid Machinist will detect and notify the user when a SolidWorks model or part has been changed. It will give the user the option to update to the modified version, including any amended features. Edgecam Solid Machinist will recognize all dimensional and topological modifications, and recalculate the machining code and NC code accordingly.

Edgecam's Strategy Manager is the intelligent, knowledge-based practice of capturing your proven machining methods and then applying that knowledge to new parts. This practice will reduce your programming time, produce consistent results, and allow the programmer to focus on improving efficiencies rather than completing repetitive tasks.
