TECHNICAL NOTES///
Conversation-specific knowledge extracted from the solidworks cam feasibility discussion.
QUESTION / CONTEXTWe currently have Solid Works 2025 with CAM features but have 3 guys using MasterCAM and such to program machines. with the correct setup in Solid Works could we get away with using only Solid Works
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- *Are your Mastercam guys doing mostly 2.5-axis production machining, or are they doing advanced multi-axis/toolpath work?
- Plate parts
- Waterjet profiles
- Simple milling
- Drilling
- Hole patterns
- Pocketing
- Basic prismatic parts
