Lynda – Learning SolidWorks CAM

SOLIDWORKS CAM is a powerful add-on that allows designers to turn models into ready-to-manufacture instructions for computer numerical control (CNC) machines. See how to convert the features of a 3D part into the NC G-code required to machine those features out of a piece of stock on a CNC machine. Instructor Kipp Bradford demonstrates how to identify features in a design for machining, prepare the toolpaths and operations, and generate the output file and setup sheet needed to manufacture parts.

Note: This course assumes familiarity with part and assembly modeling in SOLIDWORKS, as well as the fundamentals of CNC setup and operation.
