SolidCAM2016

SolidCAM2016 by SolidCAM is an integrated computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solution for programming CNC machines directly inside leading CAD systems, including SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor. It delivers a complete range of machining capabilities—covering 2.5D and 3D milling, simultaneous 4- and 5-axis machining, turning, mill-turn, and wire EDM—while keeping all toolpaths fully associative to the CAD model so changes update automatically.

Key capabilities:

• iMachining 2D and 3D: Patented toolpath technology with a built-in Technology Wizard that calculates optimal feeds and speeds based on tool, material, and machine, helping reduce cycle time and extend tool life.
• Full CAD integration: Seamless, in-window programming with model associativity, feature recognition, and templates for consistent, repeatable results.
• Advanced milling: High-speed roughing and finishing (HSR/HSM), rest machining, stock recognition, and robust strategies for pockets, contours, drilling, and thread milling.
• Multi-axis and turning: Simultaneous 4- and 5-axis toolpaths, indexed machining, comprehensive turning and mill-turn support, and machine kinematics awareness.
• Verification and safety: SolidVerify simulation, gouge and collision checks, and machine simulation to validate programs before they reach the shop floor.
• Post processing and libraries: Extensive, customizable post processors plus tool, holder, and material databases to streamline setup and programming.

Designed for job shops, mold and die, aerospace, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing, SolidCAM2016 helps teams program complex parts faster and more reliably—directly within the CAD environment they already use.
