This functionality is possible due to CAMWorks\u2019 ability to extract manufacturing features like pockets, bosses, holes, etc\u2026, and automatically create toolpaths based on an internal knowledge base of user definable tools, feeds, speeds, and strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Foster (VP Channel Marketing and Sales &#8211;\u00a0 Geometric) says, \u201cThe opportunity to reduce the need for 2D drawings while helping to automate CNC machining to this level is truly exciting. Toolpath programming processes that typically take hours can now be accomplished in minutes. CAMWorks with Tolerance Based Machining will save 70% to 90% over the typical times involved when using traditional CNC software to prepare parts and assemblies for machining.\u00a0 For many of our product manufacturing customers, the competitive advantage this technology offers is significant.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAMWorks 3D CAM software technology, Tolerance Based Machining uses tolerances, hole callouts, surface finishes and other annotations to automatically generate CNC programs for SOLIDWORKS 3D parts.
