You may have noticed that SOLIDWORKS now includes native CAM tools. But what purpose would a designer or engineer have to open SOLIDWORKS CAM if not for CNC programming?

It turns out, SOLIDWORKS CAM is uniquely suited to help designers learn to think like a machinist. It is built from the groundup for Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and KnowledgeBased Machining (KBM) – a workflow that makes the software approachable to nonmachinists. Exploring SOLIDWORKS CAM can help teach designers how to effectively communicate with the machine shop, recognize expensive design choices, and defend their design decisions from a manufacturing perspective.
