Ease the design-to-
manufacturing transition with Solid Edge
Efficiently and economically bring high-quality products to market with Solid Edge
for manufacturing
Bridge the gap between design and manufacturing
-
01
Integrate with your CAD system
Solid Edge CAM works seamlessly within the Solid Edge environment, allowing users to create CAM tool paths directly from the CAD models they have designed. Solid Edge CAM automatically recognizes parts of the model that need machining.
-
02
Define machining operations
Select from a library of predefined machining operations, which can be customized and saved for future use. Utilize tools to customize and manage the machining process.
-
03
Generate tool paths
Calculate the tool paths needed to machine every part. Users can control several parameters like cutting depth, feed rate and speed to optimize the tool paths for efficiency and quality, then simulate the tool path with built-in features.
-
04
Customize post-processing
Generate the G-code that is required by CNC machines to perform the actual machining once tool paths are validated. Post processors are customizable to ensure compatibility with different types of machines.
-
05
Generate documentation
Generate detailed documentation for the machining process, including setup sheets and tool lists, which are essential for ensuring that the CNC machine and operators have all the information needed to execute the job correctly.
-
06
Integrate with shop floor systems
Connect with shop floor management systems to ensure smooth data flow and real-time updates between the design team and the manufacturing floor, enhancing efficiency and responsiveness.
Enhance productivity and innovation
Maintain data continuity and simplify workflows
Ensure high-quality prints from additive manufacturing
Ensure minimal waste
Manage assemblies with ease
Minimize errors and maintain standards
Customize, collaborate and integrate
Transform your manufacturing with Solid Edge
