Speaking to an enthusiastic audience of SolidCAM employees, channel partners and technology partners, Dr. Somekh reflected on SolidCAM\u2019s mission. \u201cWhat are the core values of SolidCAM that led to our success? Certainly, the decision not to develop CAD ourselves, but to integrate with the leading CAD solutions. We have concentrated our R&amp;D effort on taking CAM to the highest level possible, for example by developing our iMachining and our unique multi-channel mill-turn and Swiss solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Somekh continued, \u201cThe newcomer is Solid Edge, we launched this integration last week. Everything you can do in our other CAD integrations you can do in Solid Edge. By being integrated, our customers can leverage the ease-of-use and power of Solid Edge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New SolidCAM integration with Solid Edge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some key capabilities of the new integration include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All CAM machining operations can be defined, calculated, and verified without leaving Solid Edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full associativity: toolpaths are automatically updated when the Solid Edge model is changed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixtures, tooling, and vices can be designed quickly in Solid Edge and used directly with SolidCAM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to SolidCAM\u2019s patented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidcam.com\/21\/imachining-the-revolution-in-cnc-machining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iMachining<\/a> high speed milling technology that creates significantly faster and safe CAM programs to machine parts with first part success, while maximizing tool life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/SolidCAM-for-Solid-Edge-1024x554.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/SolidCAM-for-Solid-Edge-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/SolidCAM-for-Solid-Edge-600x325.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/SolidCAM-for-Solid-Edge-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/SolidCAM-for-Solid-Edge-900x487.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/SolidCAM-for-Solid-Edge.png 1436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>SolidCAM is integrated directly inside Solid Edge for excellent ease-of-use and associativity<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Combining Additive Manufacturing and Machining<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One area that SolidCAM drew attention to at their event are the possibilities for combining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidcam.com\/solutions\/solidcam-additive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3D Metal Printing with CNC Machining<\/a>.
