CAMWorks 2017 SP3.1 Free Download for SolidWorks is an intuitive, feature-based CAM software that helps to increase productivity using best-in-class technologies and adaptable automation tools to maximize CNC machining efficiency.

CAMWorks 2017 SP3.1 for SolidWorks Description

Geometric has launched the 2015 version of its intuitive solids-based CNC programming solution, CAMWorks 2017. The new release includes numerous new features, enhancements, and fixes for a number of user-reported issues. CAMWorks 2017 SP3.1 for SolidWorks also includes many other improvements that enhance overall ease of use and machining capability.

In previous versions of CAMWorks 2017 SP3 For Solidworks 2016-2017 Download, the functionality to select a solid body as the stock was available only in Mill Assembly mode. From CAMWorks 2017 onwards, this functionality has been extended to the Stock Manager dialog box of Mill, Turn, Mill-Turn, and Wire EDM. You can assign either a desired SOLIDWORKS part file or another SOLIDWORKS configuration from the current part file as the stock.

Consequently, every time a Mill-Turn machine is used, if the user wants to assign “Free” as the default option, then he/she needs to change the setting for every Mill operation by opening the Operation Parameters dialog for each Mill operation and changing the Rotary axis mode in the NC tab. Such a task can get repetitive when the Mill-Turn machine is frequently used.

From CAMWorks 2017 Sp1 version onwards, the provision to set the Rotary Axis mode is made available in the NC tab of the Operation Parameters Form for all 2.5 Axis Milling Operations. This enhancement will enable the user to set the preferred Rotary Axis Mode option as the default, thereby eliminating the need to change the setting for every Mill operation in the CAMWorks UI.
