Introduction to SolidCAM

January 15, 2026

SolidCAM is introduced through a full machining workflow, starting with selecting machines, stock and coordinate systems before creating toolpaths using both toolbars and the CAM tree. It demonstrates 2.5D facing, 3D roughing with Turbo HSR, rest‑roughing and finishing using constant Z and constant step‑over strategies, with simulation tools verifying stock removal and collisions. Multi‑setup machining is shown, along with using templates for quick operation creation. Five‑axis workflows are covered through swarf milling, parallel‑to‑curve finishing, tilt and lead control and simulation methods including Solid Verify and SolidCAM Simulator.
