CAM Software for CNC Machining

A machinist sits at a workstation using dual monitors displaying CAD/CAM models and machining operations in SolidCAM software inside a shop-floor environment.

Why Machine Shops Choose SolidCAM Software for CNC Machining

SolidCAM delivers CAM software for CNC machining in one integrated system built to support faster programming and more consistent output.

Trusted by more than 22,000 manufacturers worldwide, it supports milling, turning, mill-turn, and Swiss machining while helping reduce cycle time and improve tool life through patented iMachining technology.

Higher Machining Efficiency with iMachining

Patented iMachining technology helps reduce cycle times by up to 70% and extend tool life by up to 5x. Across 2D and 3D machining, it is designed to optimize cutting conditions in workflows that include roughing, rest machining, and selected finishing operations.

Better Control When CAD Models Change

SolidCAM runs directly inside SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor, so that programmers can create machining operations in the same CAD environment as the model. Full associativity in CAD design enables model changes to automatically update related CAM operations, reducing rework.

More Reliable Output at the Machine

SolidCAM Post-Processors generate customized, ready-to-run G-code for the target machine, controller, and format. With support for controller-specific formats, machine kinematics, and built-in machine simulation, they help reduce manual edits and improve output consistency before machining begins.

Turning and Mill-Turn in One System

SolidCAM supports turning and advanced mill-turn workflows in the same CAM system, helping shops program combined operations without splitting milling and turning into separate environments.

Swiss Machining with Better Control

SolidCAM also supports Swiss-type machining with tools for synchronized operations, simulation, and the control needed for complex small-part production.
