"Good interconection to solidworks to update automatically"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolidCAM?

That when you are ready to go from the CAD on solidworks to the CAM on solidcam, it keeps the link between one and the other, so, if you need to later on, modify the model that you were werking on solidworks, it will automatically get updated in solidcam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

ha is not as intuitive as one would hope, there are several detailes that need to be specified and if a quick operation is needed to maachine for a rough concept it will be too off due to lack of some auto settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SolidWorks and SolidCam"
5/5
What do you like best about SolidCAM?

The specifics of the department of Technological Machine and Equpmentsl our university requires a frequent change of the range of models and their production samples. To automate the development of control systems for CNC machines and ensure their continuous operation, in our opinion, the SolidWorks and SolidCAM combination is ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

It is necessary to open a center for support soft and training programs. Currently there is no official dealer in Uzbekistan. Who would work on distributing Solidworks Solidcam software products. Many industrial companies use a hacked version of Solidworks Solidcam software and do not have experienced specialists.

We can offer a project to distribute software products and organize training. As a result, the demand for these software products and training will increase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, easy to use"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolidCAM?

Fast programing, ease of use. Great Imachining. Very nice turning options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

Unability of editing computed tool paths, like choosing single path and editing it like it's a solidworks geometry. Weak postprocessor editing options. You have to be expert to change something in postprocessor. In NX or Hypermill i can just edit postprocessor inside with ease via CAM module.

Lack of some finish strategies eg. something like ISO lines in Hypermill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SolidCAM?

it is very easy to use even if the user is not experienced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

sometimes the software adds some unnecessary patterns that must be corrected before sending to the cnc. For this reason all the code must be previewed before finalizing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
