Teksoft-CamWorks-V2008 For-Solidworks2008



is a next generation best-of-class CAM solution for producing efficient machining programs directly from solid models. Engineers and designers use SolidWorks or CAMWorks Solids and CAMWorks when they want an optimum modeling system to design better products faster and more accurately plus a seamlessly integrated, innovative, feature-based CAM system for CNC machining. This CAD/CAM software combination can significantly speed time to market.

CAMWorks modules are available in a variety of bundles or combinations. Each module provides an advanced collection of cutting strategies and timesaving features to help automate the machining process.

2½ Axis Milling
3 Axis Milling
Multiaxis Machining (Simultaneous 4/5 Axis)
2 and 4 Axis Turning
Mill-Turn
Wire EDM
The integration of CAMWorks 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.
CAMWorks 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.
CAMWorks can be purchased to run with SolidWorks or as part of a cost-effective package that includes CAMWorks Solids, an integrated solid modeler.

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.

Why spend hours programming complex parts when you can spend minutes?
Automatic and Interactive Feature Recognition
CAMWorks is a feature-based machining CAM system that provides the ability to automatically recognize many machinable features. Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) analyzes the solid model geometry and identifies mill features such as holes, slots, pockets, and bosses; turning features such as outside diameters, faces, grooves and cutoffs; and wire EDM features such as die openings. AFR recognizes features regardless of the CAD system in which they were created.
