2.5D Milling
SolidCAM’s 2.5D Milling is your go-to for powerful, intuitive CNC toolpaths – right inside SOLIDWORKS or Inventor. With full control or automated feature recognition, it handles everything from pockets to engraving with ease. Enjoy operations like thread milling, variable-depth machining, and advanced drilling, all with smart visualization and geometry updates.
AFRM
Automatic Feature Recognition & Machining. Automate your 2.5D CAM workflow with SolidCAM AFRM. It instantly detects pockets, holes, and chamfers, then applies the right machining strategies. From auto-drill recognition to the Hole Wizard and drag-and-drop processes, it’s built for speed, safety, and fixture protection – all without sacrificing precision.
HSS
High-Speed Surfacing. HSS lets you focus toolpaths on specific surface areas – perfect for fillets, undercuts, and 3D shapes. It’s a surface-level master that boosts finish quality while giving you total control over the toolpath, angles, and linking – all without touching the CAD model or defining boundaries.
Indexial 4/5-Axis Milling
Program multi-sided parts like a pro with Indexial 4/5-Axis. Define coordinate systems in one click, generate smart G-code, and simulate your setup in full 3D. It streamlines your workflow for indexed machining – no more model copying, view manipulation, or alignment hassles.
HSR & HSM
3D High-Speed Machining. From roughing to fine finishing, SolidCAM’s HSR/HSM modules give you ultra-smooth, gouge-free toolpaths for complex 3D parts. With smart link strategies and minimized air cuts, it boosts surface quality and cuts machining time – perfect for molds, aerospace, and toolmaking.
Turbo HSR & Turbo HSM
Speed meets precision in SolidCAM’s Turbo HSR/HSM. With lightning-fast multi-core toolpath calculation, Auto 3+2 roughing, and geodesic machining, this module ramps up performance and simplifies 3D jobs. It’s ideal for shops looking to cut cycle times while maintaining top-notch finish quality.
Simultaneous 5-Axis Milling
Unlock full 5-Axis power with tested, proven toolpaths for the most complex shapes. From flowline and multi-surface finishing to advanced collision avoidance, edge trimming and edge breaking – this module delivers total control and precision. Perfect for impellers, ports, and medical components, as well as userfriendly, everyday 5-axis jobs.
Solid Probe
Solid Probe makes on-machine verification and setup fast and reliable. Easily program probe cycles for home definition, in-process inspection, and tool presetting – all fully visualized. Combine probing and machining in a single flow for smarter, safer CNC operation.
Turning
SolidCAM Turning handles everything from simple profiles to high-end trochoidal and HDT toolpaths. With full support for 2-Axis to multi-turret lathes, live stock updates, and advanced strategies like simultaneous 4th axis and angled grooving, it’s a complete turning solution.
Mill-Turn Machining
SolidCAM Mill-Turn brings together turning, milling, simulation, and synchronization into one seamless platform. With no axis or channel limits, advanced MCOs, and cycle time estimates, it’s tailor-made for complex multi-spindle machines – maximizing productivity without the guesswork.
Swiss Machining
Program Swiss CNCs like a pro . SolidCAM simplifies the complexity of multi-turret, multi-spindle setups. With advanced synchronization, support for thread whirling, special holders, and full simulation, you get precision machining for even the smallest, most intricate parts.
SolidCAM
Built for CAD – integrated in SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge and Autodesk Inventor. Where most other CAM systems struggle, we offer easy, seamless programming of both simple and very complex CNC machines.
