AI innovation was a major highlight at 3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 in Houston, where Dassault Systèmes CEO Pascal Daloz joined Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, for a compelling discussion on the latest AI applications shaping the future of SOLIDWORKS and manufacturing.
At the event, SolidCAM showcased its rapidly expanding AI-driven CAM capabilities, reinforcing its role as the CAM solution for SOLIDWORKS. Alongside the SolidCAM AI Assistant (SolidCAM Chatbot)—providing 24/7 answers to SolidCAM questions in any language—SolidCAM introduced CloudNC CAM Assist fully integrated into SolidCAM. This powerful solution enables automated CAM programming directly inside SolidCAM and SOLIDWORKS, delivering speed, simplicity, and intelligent automation for CNC manufacturers.
Kevin Rankl, VP Technical Support at SolidCAM Inc, presented the CAM Assist integration and demonstrated live how AI-driven automation dramatically accelerates CAM programming workflows.
The response from attendees was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, highlighting the strong demand for AI automation among CNC professionals. SolidCAM also welcomed resellers and partners from around the world, with vibrant discussions reflecting the global momentum behind AI-powered CAD/CAM solutions.
3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 proved to be an exciting week of innovation, AI-driven manufacturing, and collaboration, signaling a powerful future for intelligent CAM within the SOLIDWORKS ecosystem.
