SolidCAM®, the leading and fastest-growing CAM system running in SolidWorks® 3D CAD software and ModuleWorks, the leading supplier of CAD/CAM components for 5-Axis machining are celebrating 5 years of successful partnership. 5-axis Machining is widely used in the metalworking industry for applications such as Turbine Blade Milling, Impeller Milling, Port Machining and complex Moldmaking.
Way back in 2003, SolidCAM realised the growing demand for 5-axis Machining. Given the technical challenges involved and SolidCAM policy of aiming to provide best-in-class solutions wherever possible, it was decided to partner with ModuleWorks. Initial integration and training built up to the official launch of the simultaneous 5-axis module in SolidCAM2004 R9. The initial reaction from resellers, customers and prospects was very positive and SolidCAM today is at the cutting edge of 5-axis Machining technology. Over the last 5 years SolidCAM has become established as a major player in the 5-axis machining market. Meanwhile SolidCAM expanded its 5-axis technology and added support for additional applications including 5-axis Wood manufacturing, 5-axis trimming, 5-axis drilling and 5-axis laser cutting.
