SolidCAM Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about SolidCam is that it operates within my favorite CAD software, SolidWorks. ِalso its associativity with the part makes future modifications much more convenient and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the down said is when learning to use the software you may need some time to understand the basics and how the software works.

Another thing is in simulation you can do a step forward performing a block code but you cant do a backward step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate SolidCAM's high efficiency in my workflow. The simulation and verification features are crucial because they help ensure the accuracy of the toolpaths before they are implemented on the machines. This minimizes errors and saves valuable time. Another feature that stands out to me is the automatic feature recognition, which significantly facilitates the programming process by identifying different elements of the design without manual intervention, thus streamlining the entire process. Additionally, I find the initial setup of SolidCAM to be relatively straightforward; it’s not hard to get started, which is always a plus when integrating new software into my daily operations.

I experience system instability and performance lagging when using SolidCAM. These issues could be improved by optimizing the software architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly the intergration between Solidworks and SolidCAM cannot be brushed to the side. The capability of swapping and editing your model on the fly is almost essential. Along with how building tools and importanting them is the easiest it has ever been can only benefit users. We have local reps that answer our questions so the customer support is on par with the rest of the softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are times where the software can have some glitches and crash. The main issue I have with SolidCAM is the uncertainty of how stable it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with CAD systems, providing a unified environment for designing and manufacturing processes.It supports 2.5 D to 5 Axis milling, turning and mill-turn, simultaneous machining and high-speed machining (HSM). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may take some time for someone to be proficient with the complex UI of the software.Lack of multi-platform support means it supports Windows but not other OS like Mac or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidcam is a perfect software for machining. It seamlessly integrates with other CAD platforms like SolidWorks. It has user friendly interface which is good for CNC programmer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a lot of time to load the large file and sometimes it crashes the file. Lack of specific advanced functionalities and machining strategies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fantastic software for machining. And also able to get details and support from Solidworks.

Tight integration to CAD software's design to the production life cycle and fast and complex 4-5 axis projects can be easily handled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing more to tell in terms of dislike. One thing I want to say to it is crashing files while you are working on large files. And also work slowly on middle-configuration PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides automated feature recognization, which detects and extracts the machining feature from CAD models. It provides an HSM feature that maximizes the machine rate and reduces the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a regular user, I don't have any point or feature in solid cam to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nice tool for our HAAS 5 axis and 3 axis milling machine. Realli appreciate to program trajectories on tool steel. It really reduce machine maintenance costs as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only price. I would like to get yearly update packet free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program gives me everything i want. The best i like is working in "part", and direct editing whatever i want to make a good route for program. Sometimes i copy the original part in CAD, the make some changes, and the work on the changed version. Also i use this for fixtures and etc. SolidCAM gives me everything i need to be a good CNC programmer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike autosave wich is not possible to turn off. After 2017 SolidCAM version, there is a problem wich 2D and 3D iMachining, Side step menu isn't working. I saw this in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 versions. So i steel use 2017 SP3 version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an Electronics engineer, i found Solid works and Solidcam to be the most easy interfacing tool that enables anyone to create any sophisticated mechanical designs, also the best CNC tool path i came across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of Arabic language support (Right to left script) brings some difficulties, which makes me to map my designs through different apps through multi-stages of conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
