3D Contouring to drive the tool along a 3D curve, cutting the part at different depths.

Engraving single line or True Type (double stroke) fonts on flat and wrapped faces using fill areas strategies (Hatch/Contour) and mid-line engraving.

Special operations for machining side slots with undercuts by a T-slot tool.

Thread Milling operation for machining of standard internal and external threads.

Chamfering, using the same geometry defined in Profile or Pocket operations.

Rest material machining cuts the remaining material left after a larger tool pass.

Working directly on parts, assemblies, and sketch geometry to define your CNC machining operations.Simplified geometry selection using CAD sketches, auto-feature recognition and advanced chaining functions (Offsetting, Trimming, Extensions) enable changes in geometry without changing the CAD model.In addition to its powerful 2.5D milling Profiling, Pocketing and Drilling operations, SolidCAM's 2.5D module includes: SolidCAM looks, feels and performs like your existing CAD system.

SolidCAM puts the most powerful 2.5D programming solution at your fingertips, right inside your CAD system. The optimal cutting conditions are achieved by the expert Knowledge based Technology Wizard of iMachining. IMachining 3D uses target and updated stock geometry from previous operations to automatically recognize areas it needs to machine, eliminating 'air-cuts' and optimizing tool repositioning. IMachining 3D automatically produces a complete, ready to run CNC program, with optimal cutting conditions, to rough and rest rough a complete 3D part, with True Scallop on all slopes, all in a single operation. Quick solid geometry selection – just 'Pick & Go'. iMachining 3D is an automatic, high-speed milling tool path for optimized Roughing with 'staircase reduction', and Rest Roughing for both prismatic and general shaped 3D parts. The one and only iMachining 3D provides amazing 3D machining results, regularly providing 70% or more savings in machining time. With the single-window integration, all machining operations can be defined and verified without leaving the parametric CAD assembly environment you're already used to.Proven iMachining Technology Algorithms Advance Even Further for Amazing 3D Milling SolidCAM runs directly inside your existing SOLIDWORKS or Autodesk Inventor CAD system, with seamless integration and full tool path associativity - design changes initiate automatic tool path updates to the CAD model.
