Swiss CNC Machines you can program with SolidCAM
ToolKit – Limitless Tool Manager
The best tool manager in CAM tool allows you to load, assemble, and manage your Tools and cutting settings. SolidCAM’s Toolkit guarantees fast tool configuration switching – supported by a virtual machine environment (Machine Preview) and user-friendly interface, eliminating tool setup errors.
Tool components, including small and custom shaped inserts, can be directly imported as CAD data from the tool manufacturer’s online catalog. SolidCAM’s ToolKit supports any type of Face, Axial, Angular, and Multi-Cutter holders.

Program. Simulate. Manufacture!
Endless capabilities in Milling and Turning
SolidCAM fully supports Polar Interpolation cycles, both radial and face. Face oriented Milling operations can be performed on the positive X or negative X side, as needed to avoid collisions. Turning operations can also be performed on the positive X or negative side as needed.
Support for Thread Whirling
Custom Thread Shapes
Using Special Holders
Using special holders may lead you to a risky situation of potential collisions, or reaching the machine axes soft limits. SolidCAM gives you full control over the C-axis output, for the selected contour, to avoid such situations.
Machine Control Operation: MCO
With MCOs you can define machine actions that are not tool-path oriented (e.g. turrets and spindles movements, open/close chucks, coolants, etc.).
Swiss CNC post-processors are equipped with already-prepared standard MCO cycles, that saves time for your part programming. Cycles consist of parameters that require minimum user input, for making necessary machine actions. With the MCOs you can program:
- Bar safety retract
- Bar pre-position for cut-off
- Change tool
- Part Pick-Up with Back Spindle
- Perform re-clamp for long part machining
- Program bar feeder
- Control coolants
- Part ejects
- Axes, spindle and phase synchronization
- Output any G/M command
- Any custom action

Synchronize. Optimize. Maximize Productivity.
SolidCAM’s easy-to-use Channel Synchronization Manager guides you through the order of operations, shows clashes and assist you to avoid them. It is perfect for synchronizing and optimizing all your machining processes for maximum production output. SolidCAM can control unlimited number of channels, exchange axes within channels, supports machining patterns and cutting modes.
Channel Synchronization Clash Engine
The Channel Synchronization’s clash avoidance feature disables the generation of G-code or simulation if there is any clash issue in the defined synchronization. If the feature is active, it will mark operations that require an action, guiding you with pointed arrows and helpful comments. The system knows the controller logic and checks the possibilities of the synchronization, taking into account the machine kinematics, axes sharing, and synchronization wait-marks rules.
