Tabs can be equally spaced or precisely located using distance and/or offsets. Programmers input the desired number of tabs, width, and thickness, and CAMWorks automatically generates the tab machining details. Solutions for parts requiring additional support is provided with automatic tab machining. Probe support allows machinists to probe the stock or part features, set work coordinate offsets, and measure a part to ensure part quality and create documentation for quality assurance. Touch probe support has been added to all CAMWorks base products in Version 2020, which automatically selects the probing cycle based on the face/feature selection, and a full set of touch probe tools has been added to the standard tool set with new parameters for probe shank and stylus. CAMWorks ShopFloor works in conjunction with other CAMWorks products and supports tooling lists and setup sheets generated within CAMWorks. With CAMWorks ShopFloor, all of the CAM data from the 3D digital models is captured and placed in a digital container, helping eliminate instances when parts are cut without the most recent edits.ĬAMWorks ShopFloor also supports 3D models with MBD (model-based definition) and PMI (product and manufacturing information) data for smart manufacturing, to avoid errors that often occur when part data is transferred through 2D drawings or other formats. CAMWorks Additive Manufacturing is fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS and allows 3D models to be printed directly from SOLIDWORKS.ĬAMWorks ShopFloor provides CNC (computer numerical control) machinists the ability to view solids models, view full simulations of CNC programs, and edit machining data on the shop floor, without the need to purchase a full shop-floor CADCAM system. Multiple parts from the same assembly or different assemblies can be nested onto the build platform, and CAMWorks Additive Manufacturing automatically generates the build supports.

With Version 2020, the CAMWorks Additive Manufacturing module, powered by Materialise, has extended 3D printing functionality to SOLIDWORKS Assemblies. HCL Technologies has released CAMWorks Version 2020 with several enhancements to assist machine shops in advancing their smart manufacturing practices.
