SolidCAM for KwaZulu-Natal CNC teams

Explore SolidCAMโ€™s key machining modules

SolidCAM Swiss Machining

Easily programmes complex Swiss type CNC machines with multiple turrets and spindles. Provides optimised turning and milling, full synchronisation and accurate machine simulation for high precision parts on main and sub spindles.

SolidCAM iMachining 2D

Automates 2D pocketing, profiling and contouring with adaptive feeds and speeds. iMachiningโ€™s patented Technology Wizard calculates optimal cutting conditions to shorten cycle times and extend tool life on a wide range of materials.

SolidCAM iMachining 3D

Applies iMachiningโ€™s high performance roughing and rest roughing strategies to 3D parts. Provides efficient step down and step up passes that improve machining time and surface quality on complex geometries.

SolidCAM Prismatic Parts Machining

Automatically recognises prismatic features on 3D CAD models and generates suitable machining operations. Helps reduce setup and programming time while improving consistency for production machining of prismatic parts.

SolidCAM 2.5D Milling

Combines user friendly toolpath control with advanced strategies for drilling, pocketing and contouring. Ideal for prototypes and production parts that need reliable 2.5D machining directly from the CAD model.

SolidCAM Turning and Mill-Turn

Supports advanced mill turn centres with multiple spindles and turrets. Enables synchronised turning and milling operations, including multi channel and Swiss type machines, with full machine simulation.

SolidCAM HSR and HSM (High-Speed Roughing & Machining)

Delivers efficient, high speed toolpaths for complex 3D shapes, using roughing and finishing strategies that improve material removal rates while maintaining accuracy and surface finish.

SolidCAM HSS (High-Speed Surface Machining)

Specialised module for finishing individual surfaces and shallow areas with precise control over tool contact. Ideal for mould and die work, undercuts and local surface improvements.

SolidCAM Multi-Sided Machining

Simplifies multi sided operations by allowing several coordinate systems and setups on a single part. Supports indexial 4 and 5 axis machining for parts with multiple orientations.

SolidCAM 5-Axis Machining

Offers simultaneous 5 axis toolpath control with advanced collision detection and machine simulation. Supports a wide range of multi axis strategies for blades, impellers, ports and other complex components.

SolidCAM Mould and Die Manufacturing

Combines iMachining, high speed machining and 5 axis capabilities to achieve smooth finishes and accurate details in moulds, dies and complex forming tools.

SolidCAM Solid Probe

Integrates on machine probing for set up, in process measurement and final inspection. Supports automatic work offset setting, part verification and adaptive machining based on measured data.

SolidCAM Turning

Provides flexible strategies for roughing, finishing, threading and grooving on CNC lathes. Supports single spindle and multi spindle turning, with full control over toolpaths and stock.

SolidCAM Wire EDM

Supports 2 axis and 4 axis wire cutting, with control over tapers, corner strategies and offsets for a wide range of materials and part geometries.

SolidCAM AFEB (Automatic Feature Recognition)

Detects 2.5D features automatically and creates optimised toolpaths based on predefined machining templates. Reduces repetitive programming steps on similar part families.
