Because of this focus on portfolio, we decided it was a natural decision to bring our CAM product in line name-wise. \u201cSolid Edge CAM\u201d was a natural choice for the name, and \u201cPro\u201d because of the astounding capabilities of the product.<\/P><\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can Solid Edge CAM Pro do well?\u201d First, let me warn you \u2013 Solid Edge CAM Pro is not a one-trick pony. There are CAM systems out there that do ONE thing extremely well. Oh, you need to do something else? Too bad. Solid Edge CAM Pro can do almost EVERYTHING: 2.5 Axis machining, 3-Axis machining, 5-Axis machining, 3+2, Turning, mill-turn, Turn-mill, even Wire EDM. There are also a lot of tools in the tool kit. Want to do Feature-Based Machining? We have one of the most advanced FBM systems on the market today. Customize and automate the interface? Yes, and that\u2019s a great way to increase productivity.<\/P><\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about ease-of-use?\u201d That previous paragraph about capabilities may have you thinking that Solid Edge CAM Pro is hard to use. Nope, not true. In fact over the last 2-3 iterations, ease of use has increased tremendously.How? Here are some examples:<\/P>
\n
- 15 built-in tutorials to get new users up-to-speed quickly<\/LI>
\n - Dialogs have pop-up graphics to help you deicde which option to choose <\/LI>

<\/span><\/P><\/p>\n\u201cHow is it configured?\u201d The product can be purchased as a stand-alone application, or combined with Solid Edge (the very best CAD-for-CAM package on the market today, IMO). The bundle packages not only save money, they also give two seats of productivity \u2013 design engineer can be using CAD while CAM engineer is using CAM \u2013 we don\u2019t tie you down like some software vendors do.<\/P><\/p>\n
In future posts, I will expand on the great capabilities of this product and give you some reasons why you should try it out. If you\u2019re attending IMTS, why not stop by booth 134500, East Building and see us? You can get a live demo of both Solid Edge and Solid Edge CAM Pro. We will also be showing off some live machining. I hope to see you there!<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
