SolidCAM to Exhibit at SolidWorks World 2008

By DE Editors

SolidCAM (Seattle, WA) will demonstrate its new version SolidCAM2008 R12, which is Gold-certified for SolidWorks World 2008, currently under way in San Diego, CA.

SolidCAM2008 R12 supplies improvements for all milling applications, including interactive and automated 2.5D milling, high-speed machining, indexial and simultaneous 5-axis machining. Also, users benefit from new features for the Mill-Turn, which includes support up to 5-axes (XYZCB) and back spindle operations.

The single-window user interface and the full associativity between the CAD model and NC toolpath guarantee a short learning curve and an efficient data flow from the 3D design model to the machined part. The new version provides a complete manufacturing solution with enhanced user friendliness, more automation features, and additional CAM functions.

SolidWorks and SolidCAM look back to a successful five-year partnership, which started in the year 2003 with the Gold certification and the Bundle agreement.
