Without this capability, one must manage feed rates for the worst-case cutter load scenarios, making cycle times much longer than necessary. This toolpath avoids the shocks that occur when material engagement changes abruptly, for example, when a tool hits the corner of a pocket. The key to achieving the highest possible metal removal rates is to generate optimized tool paths, with variable cutting angles and feed rates at every point of the toolpath, to ensure constant spindle load. “We also accomplished a revolution in machining by developing the iMachining toolpath, that saves 70% and more in machining time and extends cutting tool life dramatically.” 'SolidCAM's unique revolutionary iMachining technology saves 70% and more in machining time and extends tool life dramatically.”.

“I established the company with the aim of developing an easy-to-use and to learn CAM system, fully integrated in the most popular CAD systems, SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor,” says the steadfast leader. SolidCAM’s unique 2D and 3D iMachining technology consists of two modules: an intelligent Tool Path Generator that calculates efficient, morphed spiral and trochoidal tool paths, that ensure constant spindle load and the iMachining Technology Wizard that provides users with optimal speeds and feeds, taking into account the toolpath, stock and cutting tool material, and the unique specifications off the CNC machine performing the machining. More than 20,000 manufacturing companies and machine shops in the world use the SolidCAM product today. Somekh, CEO at SolidCAM, has the right combination of engineering, manufacturing, software development, marketing, and sales expertise. SolidCAM also has close relationships with major CNC machine and Cutting tools manufacturers.ĭr. SolidCAM company, its branches, affiliates, and resellers are customer-centric, with technical support centers around the world, staffed by experienced machinists. From the beginning, the company has concentrated on CAM, to be fully integrated into the leading 3D CAD products: SolidWorks and Inventor.

Emil Somekh founded it, interested in bringing 3D CAD and CAM to the PC, starting relatively small and then branching out to the rest of the world. The story of SolidCAM began in 1984 when Dr. “Revolutionizing the Machining World with a Unique Patented Milling Technology”
