The CAMWorks Tutorial Training Class and Course will help you learn the core concepts and steps used to conduct virtual machining using CAMWorks. CAMWorks is embedded in SOLIDWORKS as a fully integrated module.ĬAMWorks is a virtual machining tool designed to increase your productivity and efficiency by simulating machining operations on a computer before creating a physical product. CAMWorks is a virtual machining tool designed to increase your productivity and eciency by simulating machining operations on a computer before creating a physical product. CAMWorks provides excellent capabilities for machining simulations in a virtual environment. Virtual Machining Using CAMWorks 2020 - Kuang-Hua Chang This book is written to help you learn the core concepts and steps used to conduct virtual machining using CAMWorks. Capabilities in CAMWorks allow you to select CNC machines and tools, extract or create machinable features, define machining operations, and simulate and visualize machining toolpaths. In addition, the machining time estimated in CAMWorks provides an important piece of information for estimating product manufacturing cost without physically manufacturing the product. The course covers the basic concepts and frequently used commands and options you’ll need to know to advance from a novice to an intermediate level CAMWorks user. Basic concepts and commands introduced include extracting machinable features (such as 2.5 axis features), selecting machine and tools, defining machining parameters (such as feedrate), generating and simulating toolpaths, and post processing CL data to output G-codes for support of CNC machining. The concepts and commands are introduced in a tutorial style presentation using simple but realistic examples. Depths of cut can be constant or variable.Both milling and turning operations are included.

This cycle removes the material between the stock or contain area and the selected feature at decreasing Z depth levels by making a series of parallel cuts across the stock, or by pocketing out toward the stock.
