CAMWorks is a CAM software solution used to program CNC machines.
It works directly inside SOLIDWORKS, allowing users to create machining toolpaths using the same 3D model they designed.
This keeps design and manufacturing closely connected.
CAMWorks is a more advanced CAM solution.
It supports additional machining strategies, more machine types, and greater control over toolpaths.
SOLIDWORKS CAM is often used as an entry-level option, while CAMWorks is used when manufacturing requirements become more complex.
Yes. CAMWorks runs natively inside SOLIDWORKS.
There is no need to export files or work in a separate CAM system.
When the design changes, CAMWorks updates the machining features and toolpaths accordingly.
CAMWorks supports a wide range of machining, including 2.5-axis, 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis milling, as well as turning and mill-turn operations.
This makes it suitable for more advanced CNC environments.
Yes. CAMWorks is built around feature-based machining.
It recognises machinable features from the model and applies predefined machining strategies automatically, reducing manual programming work.
Knowledge-based machining in CAMWorks allows users to store machining rules, tools, and strategies in a central database.
Once set up, CAMWorks applies these rules automatically, helping standardise CNC programming across teams.
Yes. CAMWorks generates CNC-ready G-code using post processors that can be configured for specific machines and controllers. This ensures the output is suitable for direct use on the shop floor.
Yes. CAMWorks is commonly used for complex parts that require multi-axis machining, tight tolerances, or repeatable production processes.
It is well suited for advanced manufacturing environments.
Yes. Cadmes provides local technical support for CAMWorks, assisting with setup, troubleshooting, and CNC-specific questions. This ensures users get help from a team familiar with local manufacturing needs.
Buying CAMWorks through Cadmes gives you access to local expertise, training, and ongoing support. This helps ensure CAMWorks is implemented correctly and delivers real value in day-to-day CNC operations.
