Adding Stock Materials in Solidworks CAM and CAMWorks
If you’ve used Solidworks CAM or CAMWorks, you’re likely familiar with the various stock materials that are available by default with the software. This material selected for stock can be used to drive the feeds and speeds in a manufacturing program. So what do you do if the material you are using isn’t available in the default material list?
SWOOD Design Training Course Outline
The course enables students to automate furniture design using a set of features dedicated to wood and panel processing. This course will teach you how to build a library of panels, frames, and connectors. SWOOD design makes furniture design automation possible via SWOOD smart assemblies (known as SWOODBox) that lets the user quickly create new designs with all the required manufacturing detail, by using simple drag and drop from your library.
SWOOD CAM Training Course Outline
The course enables students to learn the SWOOD CAM interface and best practices. More specifically, users will learn to create machine tools and aggregates, program machinable features both automatically and interactively, and learn 4th and 5th axis programming. In addition, training items include toolpath simulation, post processing, generating shop reports, and SWOOD CAM Nesting capabilities (another module).
CAMWorks Turn & Mill-Turn Essentials Training Course Outline
This course teaches how to leverage CAMWorks to program multi-tasking machining centers. This course will focus on how milling and turning capabilities can be used within the same machine.
CAMWorks Essentials 3 Axis Training Course Outline
This course teaches how to use the 3 Axis Milling feature in the CAMWorks software to machine complex, contoured surfaces. Users will learn the multi surface features specifically for 3 axis operations and the processes needed to post process and simulate tool paths.
CAMWorks Essentials 4 & 5 Axis Training
This course teaches how to use the 4 & 5 Axis Milling feature in the CAMWorks software to machine complex parts, and contoured surfaces.
