HCL CAMWorks and Morningstar CAM Solutions Partner

Morningstar CAM Solutions, provider of CAD and CAM software and services, is partnering with HCL CAMWorks. The partnership will offer turnkey solutions integrating SOLIDWORKS 3D solid modeling with fully associative CAMWorks feature based, intelligent CNC programming by customizing the software to recognize existing machine tools, tool holders, cutting tools, fixtures and machining practices. 

Morningstar CAM Solutions has been providing CAD and CAM software, training, postprocessors and technical support since 1986. With years of hands-on experience in the manufacturing sector, including owning and operating their own modern machine shop with three-axis, four-axis and five-axis machining centers, Morningstar is qualified to assist clients in simplifying, automating and accelerating their CNC programming processes with HCL CAMWorks software.

“We are thrilled to welcome Morningstar into the HCL CAMWorks reseller network. With their extensive experience in manufacturing and a proven track record of selling and supporting CAD/CAM software, I am confident they will prove to be a valuable resource for companies looking to drive machining efficiency and streamline their operations,” says Mark Cadogan, senior area sales director for HCL CAMWorks in the Americas.

“While there are plenty of other CAM software products on the market, we feel that CAMWorks truly stands alone with its ability to quickly recognize machinable features in a part and apply machining strategies from its technology database to them.  This reduces programming effort and ensures consistency within any machining organization,” says Tony Ledbetter, co-founder andpPresident of Morningstar.

HCL CAMWorks delivers a fully integrated CAD/CAM solution for CNC machining, with programming for 2.5-axis to 5-axis mills, lathes, mill turn, Swiss machining, wire EDM, and more.  By working within SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, there’s no need to maintain separate CAD and CAM files, as design and manufacturing data are stored in a single file.  When design changes occur, toolpaths and G-code update automatically.  With advanced features including automatic feature recognition, intelligence-based machining, and the TechDB for capturing best practices, programming time is cut, and machining cycles are optimized.
