Quick Navigation SolidCAM for SolidWorks and SolidCAM for Inventor Top SolidCAM for Multi-Channel Mill-Turn & Swiss CNCs presentation by Ken Merritt at the SOLIDWORKS Partner Theater at the 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 in. Think hard about if you want to use Canned cycles in your turning programs and if so, how you want to deploy them, either as sub-programs or loops between block numbers as this has big implications for your post processor. On plain turning, it is best to define your geometries in sketches as this gives you the means to make adjustments easily.Īll in all, we picked up turning after about half a day of training and within a week we were turning like we'd been at it for years. In the turning you can do things without a solid model but if you have a model and then model your stock, you can set up SolidVerify and it works nicely. The definition of tools in the turning side is truly awful but I am told that SC2011 has a lot of 'improvements' in this area so when I get the courage to install SC2011 (certainly no until SP1) I shall report back. We use the Turning and Mill/Turn options here and the turning is easy enough to learn but the logic of the SolidCAM pages is very different to the Milling.
