Introducing Solid Edge CAM Pro – a comprehensive, highly flexible system that uses the latest machining technology to efficiently program your CNC machine tools, from simple NC programming to high-speed and multi-axis machining. Associative tool paths for parts and assemblies speed design changes and updates. In addition to traditional manufacturing processes, Solid Edge supports automated print preparation and color printing for additive manufacturing directly to your printer or a 3D printing services so you can make your ideas a reality.

Efficiently program your CNC machine tools using CAM Express, a comprehensive, highly flexible system that allows you to maximize the capabilities of your existing machines and the latest machining technology. Available in cost effective packages together with Solid Edge, or as add-on modules, CAM Express provides powerful NC programming and feature based machining capabilities that are easy to deploy and learn.

Advanced computer aided manufacturing techniques including 5 axis milling and mill-turn machining are available through add-on CAM Express modules. Comprehensive machine simulation is also available for machine motion analysis and clash detection helping to ensure safety and avoiding expensive mistakes in the machining process.

Solid Edge streamlines the entire sheet metal design and manufacturing process, from sheet metal design through flat pattern creation, nesting, cutting and bending. Solid Edge includes sheet metal-specific features, like emboss, dimple, contour flange, straight brake and etch; and these features are supported by integrated manufacturing apps to speed production while improving quality and reducing costs.

Designing structural frames and specifying the welds and fasteners required to assemble frames and other fabrications is fast and easy using Solid Edge. You can specify different weld types in the Solid Edge Part environment, and then document these welds using international drafting standards in Solid Edge Drafting.
