Surfware, developer of SURFCAM CAD/CAM systems, announced support for SolidWorks 2013 for the latest version of SURFCAM 6.

SURFCAM 6 users can now work associatively with SolidWorks 2013 data immediately by simply downloading the most recent updates for SURFCAM 6 at www.surfcam.com/support_downloads.aspx.

SURFCAM has been a certified CAM product for more than eight years.

SURFCAM's associativity enables programmers to open native SolidWorks 2013 files directly into SURFCAM 6, eliminating the translation process. When changes are made to the SolidWorks design models, SURFCAM automatically recognizes the design revisions and offers to regenerate the affected toolpaths in SURFCAM.
