Designcenter Solid Edge CAM Pro fact sheet

This five-page fact sheet details Designcenter Solid Edge CAM Pro, the NC programming system built with Solid Edge users in mind, and lists what each of its four bundles contains. It explains how parts and assemblies are sent from Solid Edge to CAM Pro in one click with associativity kept, so late design changes often only require toolpaths to be regenerated. The document itself uses the name Solid Edge CAM Pro.

What the document covers

• The 2.5-axis, 3-axis, 5-axis and Total Machining bundles, with a feature table showing what is included and what is available as an add-on
• Drilling and feature-based hole making, 2.5-axis and adaptive roughing, 3-axis finishing strategies and 5-axis programming
• Turning for multi-spindle and multi-turret work, wire EDM, and a synchronisation manager for mill-turn machines
• Machining suggestions that propose operations and toolpaths from a selected model face
• Toolpath visualisation, material removal checks, collision checking and machine-code-driven simulation with Smart Machine Simulation Kits
• Postprocessing with Post Builder and the Post Hub online library, HTML shop documentation with PMI carried over from Solid Edge, and system requirements

Who it is for

NC programmers, machine shop managers and manufacturing engineers. Because CAM Pro also reads Parasolid, STEP, IGES, DXF and JT data, it is relevant to shops that receive models from other CAD systems.
