The GeometricPLM development team is pleased to announce the availability of CAMWorks 2021 SP3 is the most advanced CAM software available, combining production-proven feature based CAM technology, automatic feature recognition, and rules based machining along with tolerance based machining to leverage MBD and PMI technology to automate Smart Manufacturing for CNC programming - paving the way to advanced digital manufacturing.

What's New in CAMWorks 2021 - SP3

1. CW-109566 CSR-17052 Toolpath For the specific part the display of the Contour Mill toolpath for a Curve Feature is incorrect with the options of CNC compensation On and toolpath center without compensation.
2. CW-109440 CSR-15026 Operation The values set for the Sub spindle Work Coordinate System in TechDB are incorrectly displayed in CAMWorks.
3. CW-109156 CSR-16883 Toolpath The posted code of Volumill toolpath contains very small arcs which result in errors on the machine.
4. CW-109142 CSR-16848 Operation With the specific TechDB, a crash of CAMWorks is seen when the user attempts to save the tool crib in a mill part.
5. CW-109130 CSR-16577 Toolpath In some of the parts having 3 axis or Multi Axis operations, it is observed that CAMWorks freezes while generating the toolpaths.
6. CW-106664 CSR-15860 System The specific part cannot be opened in SOLIDWORKS when CAMWorks is set as an add-in and any attempts to open the part will result in a crash of SOLIDWORKS.
7. CW-105477 CSR-15461 Assembly For the specific assembly, importing the cam data from the part results in a crash of SOLIDWORKS.
8. CW-104542 CSR-16868 Machine Simulation In CAMWorks Virtual Machine, the user defined chuck is incorrectly displayed.
9. CW-104137 CW-99099 CW-94621 CSR-14955 CSR-12777 44792 Feature For the specific part the time taken to recognize features is significantly high if the option of recognize curve features for chamfering is selected.
10. CW-102326 CW-95001 CSR-13958 44791 Feature For the specific part, some of the curve features recognized with the option of "Curve features for chamfering" are incorrect.
11. CW-100328 CSR-13240 System When CAMWorks is upgraded using a latest service pack then, the user defined mill tool holders saved under the CAMWorks data folder are deleted.
12. CW-99403 CSR-12971 Operation In TechDB if the same thread designation is defined for different hole types then, the operations generated for each feature in CAMWorks will have operations from all types of hole features. This results in each feature having multiple sets of operations generated.
13. CW-97228 CSR-11784 Feature For the specific part, a crash of CAMWorks is seen while automatically recognizing the features with the option of "Curve features for chamfering" set to On



CAMWorks for SOLIDWORKSwas the first fully integrated computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solution designed exclusively to operate in SOLIDWORKS and the first to offer knowledge-based, feature recognition, and associative machining capabilities within SOLIDWORKS.

CAMWorks uses the same SOLIDWORKS geometry to generate toolpaths to ensure the part you machine is the same part you've modeled. Toolpath simulation allows users to compare "as designed" parts to "as machined" parts. The part model-to-toolpath associativity in CAMWorks increases machining productivity and lowers manufacturing costs by eliminating time-consuming CAM system rework due to design updates.

CAMWorks eliminates the drudgery of CNC programming with Intelligent Machining through automation. Pioneered by Geometric Technologies, this suite of tools automates the generation of toolpaths based on a knowledge-based database. It eliminates hours of complex programming through Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) that automatically defines prismatic machinable features, while the TechDBTM (Technology Database) defines machining operations to automatically generate accurate toolpaths at the click of a button.

CAMWorks machining modules include: 2½ Axis Mill, 3 Axis Mill, Turning, Mill-Turn with 5 Axis Simultaneous Machining Support, 4/5 Axis Simultaneous Machining, and Wire EDM.

CAMWorks for 2021 provides advanced new features to help you take full advantage of your CNC machines
