Founded in 1984, SolidCAM is the world's leading independent CAM software — trusted by manufacturers across aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and precision engineering worldwide.
SolidCAM's patented iMachining technology automatically calculates optimised feeds, speeds, and stepovers — dramatically reducing cycle times while extending tool life.
iMachining uses morphing-spiral toolpaths and intelligent load control to maintain constant chip thickness. The technology wizard calculates all parameters automatically based on your machine, material, and tooling — no guessing required.
Morphing-spiral toolpaths for efficient 2.5D geometry. Automatically optimises feeds, speeds, and tool entry. Includes rest machining and feature recognition for pockets, open/closed geometries, and islands.
Extends iMachining to complex 3D surfaces and sculptured parts. Intelligent load control across any 3D geometry — the same dramatic benefits for intricate mould and die work.
The wizard calculates feeds, speeds, and stepovers automatically for your specific machine, material, and tooling. No manual parameter guessing — optimised cutting from the first pass.
Complete kinematics simulation — moving axes, tool holders, fixtures — before any cutting. Collision detection protects expensive tools and workpieces.
SolidCAM operates inside your CAD system — eliminating import/export, translation errors, and application switching.
Runs natively inside SOLIDWORKS. All geometries are fully associative — model changes update CAM operations automatically.
When the design changes, machining operations update automatically — ensuring design-to-manufacturing consistency and eliminating manual rework.
Certified post-processors generate customised G-code matched to your exact CNC machine and controller — reliably, every time, without manual editing.
Save and reuse complete operation sets to program new parts faster with consistent results. Turn your best programmers' workflows into repeatable templates.
SolidCAM for Operators brings CAM data directly to the machine for step-by-step verification and minor edits without returning to the programming office.
Aerospace & Defence, Automotive, Electronics, Medical Devices, Industrial Equipment, Oil & Gas — trusted across all precision manufacturing industries.
SolidCAM provides a complete set of machining modules — from simple 2.5D milling to advanced Mill-Turn and Swiss machining.
Prismatic machining with pockets, slots, profiles, drilling, tapping and thread milling. Feature recognition automates programming of standard features.
HSR/HSM toolpaths for complex 3D surfaces, moulds, and dies. Advanced strategies for roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing with smooth, gouge-free toolpaths.
Full simultaneous 5-axis milling for aerospace and medical parts — with collision detection, machine-aware toolpaths, and optimal tilt strategies.
2-axis and multi-axis turning with backspindle support. Balanced turning for efficient roughing of large or long parts across main and sub-spindle.
Program complex mill-turn centres with simultaneous operations across multiple spindles and turrets. Full machine simulation ensures collision-free synchronisation.
Advanced Swiss-type machining with guide bushing support, gang tool layouts, and precise synchronisation for small precision parts.
SolidCAM is modular — purchase only the machining modules you need. ACECAM provides local LKR pricing and full implementation support.
Yes — SolidCAM runs as an add-in inside SOLIDWORKS, so you need an active SOLIDWORKS licence. ACECAM can supply both SOLIDWORKS and SolidCAM together for a seamless, supported installation.
iMachining is SolidCAM's patented CNC cutting technology that generates morphing-spiral toolpaths and automatically calculates optimal feeds, speeds, and stepovers. Real-world results show cycle time reductions of up to 70% and significantly longer tool life.
Yes. SolidCAM provides certified post-processors for virtually all major CNC controllers and machines. ACECAM can verify post-processor availability for your specific machines and configure them as part of implementation.
ACECAM provides certified SolidCAM training at our Colombo facility and on-site at your manufacturing premises. Training covers 2.5D milling, iMachining, 3D machining, and any additional modules purchased.
Yes. SolidCAM offers a free Maker Version for non-commercial personal and educational use. For institutional academic licences, contact ACECAM to discuss options for Sri Lankan universities and technical colleges.
