When it comes to CNC programming and machining efficiencies, there’s always room for improvement. If you’ve ever felt like you’re spending too much time programming, setting up, or refining your machining operations, leveraging the full potential of CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM might just be the solution you need. In this guide, we’ll walk you through strategies and tools designed to optimize your workflow, minimize tool changes, and program with greater precision—all while saving you valuable time on the shop floor.
In 2024, 3D Sculptor (xShape) in 3DEXPERIENCE introduced a feature that allows users to create their own SubD primitives by Extrude or Revolve. While this may seem straightforward, this functionality can be applied in various scenarios that we will explore further.
When editing a note in a SOLIDWORKS drawing, a Formatting toolbar appears above the note that includes options to increase or decrease the indent and to toggle on bullet points or numbering. If you need more control over how your note looks, including spacing between lines and paragraphs, the size of indents, and numbering format, you can find it in the Paragraph Properties.
With the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform comes a wealth of features and functionality, and with that, there are many nuances to the user interface that you may not have noticed. Once you know what to look for, you’ll discover some amazing features that you never knew you had.
Abaqus is a powerful software package used for simulation and analysis of engineering problems. In this tutorial, we will provide step-by-step instructions for how to install Abaqus 2024 Golden (GA) with Tosca, fe-safe, and Isight on a Windows or Linux machine.
Although the method for moving files and folders in SOLIDWORKS PDM is the same as it would be in any other File Explorer location (drag and drop), restructuring the PDM Vault requires a user to have various levels of permissions. Without these permissions, warnings similar to the one below will be generated.
SOLIDWORKS Delivery Day 2025 FD03 introduces 15 exciting new enhancements, but a few feel especially groundbreaking because they mark the moment SOLIDWORKS integrates artificial intelligence. That’s right: SOLIDWORKS just got smarter.
When working in SOLIDWORKS Electrical, you will often need Programmable Logic Control (PLC) for automation. This guide explains the process for adding PLC Drawing configurations to Electrical projects.
When a new or existing user requires read or edit access to files, several layers of permissions are necessary. Without the appropriate permissions, the user could experience a blank folder, a lack of visibility to folders entirely, and the inability to add or modify files to the SOLIDWORKS PDM vault. Let’s take the complexity out of this setup by going over each layer separately.
