Mastercam creates a sketch from the resulting geometry.Īlso available in the Mastercam 2017 for SOLIDWORKS release is: The Roll-Unroll function is used to wrap geometry about an axis, or to unwrap rolled entities to make them lie flat. The Mastercam 2017 tab now includes a CAD Functions menu which contains the Create Boundary and Create Letters functions. When a modification to the SOLIDWORKS geometry affects multiple planes, Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS displays a message asking you to confirm your changes. To simplify your work, Tplanes are now associated to the SOLIDWORKS geometry that was used to create them. When hovering over an element that is not an endpoint, a tooltip will display information that is specific to the entity. Green and red arrows display at the start and end points of the entire path. To make your job easier, Analyze Toolpath is used to display toolpath information such as coordinates, direction, operation number, and more when you hover over any part of the tool motion. In addition to all the improvements to Mastercam Mill and Lathe, Mastercam 2017 for SOLIDWORKS features the Analyze Toolpath, improved Tplanes, and so much more. Users can program parts directly in SOLIDWORKS using Mastercam’s industry-leading toolpaths and machining strategies. Mastercam 2017 for SOLIDWORKS is a CAM application that is fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS.
Using a familiar platform and integrated solution, SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks bring manufacturing and design teams together, resulting in a better CNC experience all in the same interface.By Niraj M Wanikar, Chief Editor,, 12:02:00 CAMWorks offers several different packages, as well as additional product options and bundle add-ons. CAMWorks uses the same SOLIDWORKS geometry to generate toolpaths to ensure the part you modeled is the same part you machine. The CAMWorks portfolio offers advanced machining capabilities within SOLIDWORKS. Note: If you have a seat of SOLIDWORKS version 2018 or newer on subscription, then you already have access to SOLIDWORKS CAM. A simple upgrade to SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard or SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional unlocks additional tools such as assembly mode, 4-axis & 5-axis indexing, turning, configurations, volumill, and beyond. SOLIDWORKS CAM, powered by CAMWorks, is an integrated solution for 2.5 and simple 3-axis toolpath creation. With these developers announcing a 2024 discontinuation date of the add-in, those who rely on these combined solutions are beginning to ask themselves.now what?Īlthough the standalone MasterCAM and GibbsCAM products remain available, if you use SOLIDWORKS, there are more powerful, integrated, and native alternatives: SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks. For years, both MasterCAM and GibbsCAM offered SOLIDWORKS users the ability to use their tools in a familiar environment via the SOLIDWORKS add-in.
