           Full part modeling and assembly capabilities

The full version of SolidWorks provides 2 modules:

Part – for creating solid, surface and wire frame models

Assembly – for combining models to create an assembly

The OEM version includes all the functionality of the Part and Assembly modules, with the limitation of not being able to create a complete 2D detailed/engineering drawing with a title block due to the absence of the Drawing module.

To qualify for the Upgrade, a customer must have proof of purchase of at least one ProCAM fabrication module. Any version of ProCAM or ProCAM II qualifies.

• SolidWorks part files (SLDPRT) can be read directly into ProCAM II and machined using 2.5 Axis Mill and Surface Machining cycles.

• SolidWorks supports all industry standard file formats (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER, TIFF, AutoCAD, Unigraphics, Solid Edge, STEP, Parasolid, ACIS, STL, JPG). Files in these formats can be opened in SolidWorks, saved in a ProCAM-supported format such as IGES or DWG, and then be read directly into ProCAM 2D or ProCAM II.

• ProCAM users can learn solid modeling without having to purchase the full version of SolidWorks. The Update package includes a 5 hr. multimedia training CD. After learning SolidWorks, the transition to CAMWorks will be the next logical step.

Training and support will be supplied by Cimtronics. To assist you in training, each package includes a 5 hour multimedia SolidWorks training CD that we strongly recommend customers use to learn SolidWorks.

If you would like an online demo, simply fill out the contact form and check Online Demo or you can contact Cimtronics directly.
