SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks Learning Series

About this series

Learn how to use the integrated CAM technology you already own to streamline CNC programming, automate best practices, and unlock advanced capabilities — at zero additional cost.

This four-part series bridges the gap from SOLIDWORKS CAM fundamentals all the way to advanced automation that transforms shop floor productivity.

A full seat of SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard is included in every active SOLIDWORKS subscription seat.

What you will learn

1
Fundamentals of SOLIDWORKS CAM
Interface setup, machine definitions, and first toolpaths without leaving SOLIDWORKS.
2
Harnessing the TechDB
Capture tribal knowledge, standardize tooling, and automate best practices.
3
Advanced automation and AFR
