Need to get products to market faster, more efficiently, with greater profitability? CAMWorks for CNC programming of 2-5 axis mills, lathes, wire EDM and multi-tasking machines can increase profitability, ease overworked CNC programming departments and generate more consistent and reliable G-code from programmer to programmer and from job to job.
As the first CAM solution to offer true knowledge-based machining capabilities, CAMWorks leads the way in advancements in Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR). CAMWorks offers true associative machining automatically accommodating changes to the part model, which eliminates time consuming CAM system rework due to design updates. In addition, new toolpath technologies in CAMWorks enable manufacturers to take advantage of multi-axis and high-speed machining capabilities in today's machine tools for an increase in ROI and efficiency. |

Integrated into SolidWorks
CAMWorks ™with Machining Intelligence for Automation™ is the most advanced CAM tool available for getting products to market faster, more efficiently, and within budget. Introduced in 1997 , CAMWorks is one of the new generation of revolutionary Windows-based CNC programming solutions for producing molded parts from solid models.
CAMWorks is a SolidWorks ® Certified Gold Product for Manufacturing/CAM/CNC Software that provides state-of-the-art machining capabilities seamlessly integrated into the award winning SolidWorks™ design software. As the first CNC solution to offer true knowledge-based machining capabilities, CAMWorks leads the way in advancements in Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR). CAMWorks offers true associative machining automatically accommodating changes to the part model, which eliminates time consuming CAM system rework due to design updates.
The integration into SolidWorks means:
- When you are using SolidWorks, the CAMWorks machining tree and commands are available with the click of a button. You never have to leave SolidWorks to generate toolpaths.
- the CAM/CNC software uses the same SolidWorks geometry to generate toolpaths to ensure the part you machine is the same part you have modeled.
- Time-consuming file transfers using standard file formats such as IGES and SAT are eliminated.

Ease of Use
CAMWorks uses the familiar SolidWorks interface, so it is easy to learn and easy to use. The CAMWorks trees are similar to the SolidWorks FeatureManager design tree. Items in the tree can be suppressed, expanded, renamed and moved using the same procedures as SolidWorks. Online help, an Installation and Quick Start Guide and tutorials help you generate toolpaths and code quickly. The tutorials are provided electronically in Adobe PDF files.
Automatic and Interactive Feature Recognition
CAMWorks is a feature-based machining CNC Software that provides the ability to automatically recognise many prismatic features including tapers. Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) analyses the part shape and attempts to define the most common machinable features for mill such as pockets, bosses, holes and slots for mill. AFR also defines Turn features such as the outside diameter and inside diameter of the part, front face and grooves. AFR recognises features on native SolidWorks part models or on solid parts imported via IGES, SAT, etc.
CAMWorks also includes Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) for defining features that are not recognised automatically or features that need to be defined for your particular machining requirements. IFR wizards, similar to SolidWorks feature wizards, provide a simple and quick method for defining machinable features. |

CNC Software Machining Operations
After machinable features have been defined, the user can take advantage of the machining automation in CAMWorks to generate operations. Machining operations include roughing, finishing, drilling, etc. Operations are associated to machinable features.
Knowledge-Based Machining
TekSoft’s proprietary TechDB, a Microsoft Access database, is the intelligence behind the machining automation in CAMWorks.
Using Knowledge-Based Machining technology, the TechDB associates operation parameters to the machinable features. When you generate operations, CAMWorks applies these settings automatically. To further enhance the automation process, the knowledge-based rules in the TechDB are fully customizable to represent your current machining environment.
CNC Software has never been this intelligent! |
