CAM-Part Setup
Define coordinate systems, stock, target and fixtures.
ACECAM TRAINING · SOLIDCAM
From CAD Model to
Safe, Efficient Toolpaths.
Train programmers and manufacturing teams to plan, simulate and improve CNC machining workflows using SolidCAM.
Overview
CAM training should improve production decisions
The objective is not simply to click through software commands. Participants should understand setup, stock, tools, cutting strategies, verification and the controls required before NC code reaches a machine.
2.5D Milling
Create pockets, profiles, drilling and common prismatic operations.
Turning
Plan lathe operations, tools and machining sequences.
iMachining
Apply technology parameters and efficient toolpath strategies.
Simulation
Verify material removal, tool motion and potential collisions.
Post-processing
Understand controlled NC output and machine-specific validation.
Requirements
What we will review with you
A focused discovery discussion helps avoid a generic proposal and makes the next step relevant to your organisation.
- New SolidCAM programmers
- Existing CNC operators moving into CAM
- Manufacturing and process engineers
- Companies onboarding SolidCAM
- Teams requiring workflow standardisation
- Users progressing toward multi-axis machining
Delivery approach
A practical route from enquiry to outcome
Map
Confirm machines, controllers, parts and current experience.
Configure
Use an appropriate training dataset and workflow.
Programme
Build and simulate representative operations.
Validate
Review output controls and safe implementation steps.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you proceed
Do I need SOLIDWORKS experience before SolidCAM training?
Basic CAD familiarity is helpful because SolidCAM operates in an integrated CAD environment. The recommended prerequisite depends on the course.
Is iMachining included?
Specific iMachining content is available in the appropriate programme. Course coverage and level will be confirmed before registration.
Does training include a post-processor for our machine?
Training and post-processor development are separate scopes unless explicitly included in a proposal. Machine, controller and post-processor requirements must be reviewed.
Can ACECAM train our team using company parts?
Corporate training can be discussed using suitable non-confidential examples after scope, risk and data-handling requirements are agreed.
