Additional Benefits of Using BobCAM for SolidWorks™:
- Smart Models: When machining parts in SolidWorks™, BobCAM takes full advantage of the “smart models”. This means your holes sizes, pocket and profile depths are automatically recognized when working with solid bodies or picking features from the design tree. Saving you valuable time in defining your machining processes.
- Toolpath Adjustment for Design Changes: SolidWorks™ is known for its ability to easily make changes to your parts at any stage of the design process. Because BobCAM runs inside of SolidWorks™, as these changes are made you can easily update your tool paths without having to start all over.
- Machine Templates: The biggest challenge of any CAM user is applying the options and values that work best for their parts and machines. Using our save and load feature your can easily save settings know to work in your shop. The more you use BobCAM the easier it gets to make your parts!
- New Advanced Simulation: This simulation offers statistics about your machining operations like, run time, total tool path length, freed move length, rapid move length. You can easily use this information when quoting jobs. Collision checking for flute, shaft, arbor and holder. Analysis tools showing where the left over material is and you can even create a video presentation of the whole machining process. Multiple work offset support, real time simulation and robust graphics display.
- Customizable Machine Post Processors: BobCAM comes with standard post processors for common machine controls. These post are free and user customizable. Using our scripting engine allows you to create custom features and options that can be added for more advance users.
Shops all over the world are adding SolidWorks™ Parts & Assemblies to their BobCAD-CAM CNC Machining CAM software at affordable prices!
