#CAM WORKS FOR SOLID WORKS SOFTWARE#

One of those customers didn’t have any Swiss-type machines yet, but still another key factor for moving from CAMWorks to SolidCAM was that we already have a solution for Swiss because now they can aim to develop for themselves the Swiss applications.

So they took their time, checked all relevant Systems of our competitors really hard.Īfter several mutual visits, where they could learn about the SolidCAM software and the SolidCAM Staff in deep, they came to the conclusion that SolidCAM would be the best CAM System to Partner with for their future.Īfter signing the reseller contract between SolidCAM GmbH and Planet Software, they convinced five big and well-known existing customers to move from CAMWorks to SolidCAM.

Planet Software has been a SolidWorks and CAMWorks Reseller for many many years, and they were satisfied with the partnership all the time.īut the day came when they asked themselves what to do to be successful in the market in the future, as they realized (like we all did) that the market turned more and more to complex machines and to mill-turn and Swiss-type. SolidCAM – Planet Software decision for the Future! We got a new customer because of great team support on the fly! Not to mention a better CAM software, SolidCAM! 2 hrs went by, and he called me to discuss issues related to network licensing - I called on to Tim Mika for tech support.Īfter the call, he asked me for a SolidCAM 5 axis quote, including probing, and a 2nd SolidCAM seat of 2.5D pro. He could not believe how easy and supportive we were and we knocked out his 5 axis part, on the spot, by Scott Neil. Within 2 weeks he called to get a 2nd SolidCAM demo - I said how about now. He was also not impressed at all with the CAMWorks reseller! He was impressed - CAMWorks was not doing what he wanted and he also needed advanced machining (5 axes). Little did I know, he researched all weekend, sent me emails with questions, and visited our website. I waited a few months and called back just to check-in, as we talked more & more, he agreed to see a demo of SolidCAM and to compare it to his current CAM. I told him about SolidCAM and its advantages, but he turned me down. He mentioned it was CAMWorks, integrated into Solidworks. I called onto a potential customer back in Feb 2021 and he said he just bought CAM software 1 year prior, and he is not interested.

Very user-friendly and intuitive SolidCAM user interface.

Our robust, easily customizable post-processors for different customers’ needs are far superior to CAMWorks posts.

Our new tool table is far more advanced than the CAMworks one.

O ur SolidCAM simulation capabilities, mainly the Machine simulation, are far superior to CAMWorks.

SolidCAM Swiss-type machining is the best in the world, and CAMworks have very weak solution for Swiss.

SolidCAM is completely superior to CAMWorks in Multi-Channel Mill-Turn machining, with the best multi-channel synchronization and simulation.

See this presentation on iMachining vs so-called competitors:

T hat takes away the guesswork in setting the cutting conditions - a major advantage to all machinists - the more experienced and the less experienced.

Also, iMachining has the amazing iMachining Wizard that automatically calculates optimal feeds and speeds, for every point of the toolpath, taking into account the stock material properties, cutting tool type, and machine tool parameters.
