SolidWorks and SolidCAM?

John Gargano · Mar 5, 2006

I'm strongly considering SolidWorks as a 3D modeling and project development tool. I'm not so sure about how well it works with any CAM packages, however, I have seen a nice presentation on using SolidCAM. Is anyone using SolidWorks with any CAM package and is anyone using SolidCAM with any other 3D CAD package? My work is NOT mass scale production but 1,s and 2's of many unique parts.

I use SolidWorks daily at work. We have GibbsCam for our programming. This makes a stong combination. I do lots of product design and tool design. The transition of Solidworks to Gibbs is real easy. I have not used other cam packages but I can vouche that this combination works well.

What about "CamWorks" which is part of the Solidworks stable.
I have no personal experience of it apart from a quick demo while I was on the Solidworks advanced course.
