CAMWorks Reviews

“productive CAD-CAM integration”

Pros

Working with it feels very easy and the interface is also polished and user friendly. The CAD/CAM integration is great and features like Automatic Feature Recognition plus the Technology Database really improve productivity and can cut programming time by as much as 80 to 90%.

Cons

There's nothing major to complain about. A few minor issues come up now and then but they're still solvable.

“faster programming with excellent animation”

Pros

Programming takes much less time with this software and the animation quality is excellent.

Cons

It isn't available for Mac OS and I also ran into a few issues in the analysis section.

“saves time in manufacturing cycle”

Pros

Getting started with it is pretty simple and the learning curve for understanding the basics isn't that long either. Because it's integrated with the SolidWorks platform, CAM programming and validation happen quickly. The associativity between the 3D CAD model and program generation is really helpful during design iterations since both stay aligned at the same time. The design automation and customization options also do a lot to cut down development and manufacturing cycle time.

Cons

You need to spend a lot of time experimenting with the software to figure out all its features, which takes too long. It's also not available on the Mac OS platform.
