Simutron provides practical SolidCAM support tailored to the needs of South African CNC teams. Our engineers help you apply the software’s features in a clear, easy-to-understand way that improves reliability on the shop floor.
Yes. Simutron helps you set up SolidCAM correctly so the software matches your CNC machines, controls and workflow. This includes installing SolidCAM, configuring the license environment, setting up machine definitions, importing your tools where applicable and confirming that the system is outputting clean, reliable NC code. We work closely with teams in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion and nearby areas to ensure that SolidCAM is ready for day-to-day use before you run live jobs.
Absolutely. Post-processors are essential for accurate machining and are often the first point of confusion for new SolidCAM users. We help configure, adjust and validate post-processors so your G-code matches your specific machine requirements. This includes checking retract moves, tool changes, coolant commands, work offsets and other machine-specific behaviours. Our team also verifies output by running test operations and comparing simulation results to machine expectations.
Yes. SolidCAM offers many modules, and not all of them are necessary for every shop. We review your common part types, material mix, tolerances, machine capabilities and CNC control requirements. Based on this, we suggest the modules that will give you practical value, such as iMachining for faster material removal, 2.5D milling for day-to-day work, or 5-axis strategies for complex shapes. Our recommendations focus on what will improve your machining workflow immediately without unnecessary complexity.
Yes. SolidCAM runs directly inside SOLIDWORKS, which makes it easy to fit into most engineering and CNC environments. We help you set up standard operation templates, tool libraries and machining defaults so that your team can generate consistent toolpaths with minimal rework. If your workflow includes multiple programmers or machines, we assist in aligning SolidCAM to reduce variation between operators.
Simutron assists with migration by analysing your current CAM setup, identifying core machining strategies you rely on and setting up SolidCAM to produce similar or improved results. We help validate key part types, adjust your post-processor and ensure your team understands how to perform their common tasks using SolidCAM. This reduces downtime and keeps your transition smooth and controlled.
Yes. SolidCAM includes strong capabilities for complex parts, supported by features such as multi-axis undercut milling, improved surface finishing, swarf machining, geodesic machining and enhanced 5-axis edge breaking. These features allow for cleaner surfaces, shorter cycle times and more predictable tool behaviour when machining difficult shapes. We help you configure these features so they work correctly with your machines and tooling.
You receive ongoing access to Simutron’s SolidCAM support team for questions related to setup, post-processors, toolpath behaviour, simulation accuracy, software configuration and general feature usage. When new SolidCAM versions introduce improvements, we help you understand what is new and how it may benefit your work.
This depends on your existing CAD/CAM experience and the complexity of your parts, but most teams begin generating toolpaths shortly after installation. Simutron helps ensure your environment is correctly configured from the start so you can safely begin with simple jobs and gradually apply more advanced features such as iMachining, 3D finishing and multi-axis operations.
