CAMWorks Mill Fundamentals
System Requirements
- Broadband internet connection
SolidProfessor's CAMWorks Mill Fundamentals course provides users with a comprehensive introduction to using the CAMWorks add-in for SolidWorks. This course walks you through the entire CAM process, starting with a 3D model, and ending with outputing G-code for your CNC machine. You will be able to define stock and machinable features, create toolpaths, and even simulate the operation of your machine, leaving a preview of your machined model. From there you will be able to make adjustments to the cutting paramters and operations, and then automatically output G-code. This course even shows you how to customize the Technology Database in CAMWorks to include all the various machines and tools in your facility.
