As a SolidWorks Certified CAM Partner, Edgecam and SolidWorks together focus on improved machining process through enhanced CAM strategies. Edgecam allows native file handling of 3D models with faster processing and shorter programming times. The associative link between Edgecam Solid Machinist with (AFR) Automatic Feature Recognition and SolidWorks significantly reduces the burden of reworking NC programs from revised or updated model changes.
