Tolerance-Based Machining provides technology to help users move their programming to Industry 4.0 procedures by recognizing and using Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) – such as GD&T dimensions, notes and callouts – as well as Model Based Definition (MBD) information in the 3D model. Design changes made will subsequently be updated in the additive and subtractive programming.ĬAMWorks 2019 also expands Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM) to turn and mill/turn parts, now with full integration inside CAMWorks. The design, additive and subtractive information are all stored within a single file, making it fully associative with the SOLIDWORKS model. The 3D printer model is then used as stock, and CAMWorks will generate the CNC subtractive machining operations and toolpaths needed to remove the build supports and machine other user-defined areas of the part, all inside of SOLIDWORKS.

HCL Technologies announced the release of CAMWorks Version 2019, which includes Additive Manufacturing, Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM) for turn and mill/turn parts, and improvements to Technology Database (TechDB).ĬAMWorks Additive Manufacturing, powered by Materialise technology, introduces the first additive-subtractive solution available for SOLIDWORKS to allow users to prepare models for their 3D metal printers inside SOLIDWORKS.
