SOLIDWORKS CAM

Machinist Professional

SOLIDWORKS Machinist Professional provides SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional capabilities with SOLIDWORKS Parts and Assemblies to allow the user the ability to import and design fixtures and other manufacturing components used in the machining process. Also allows for machining multiple components. By using Assembly mode in SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional, automatic components avoidance can be used to ensure your programs do not collide with custom fixtures or vises.
