CAMculator

The German PLM systems company, Solidline GmbH, expands their CAM solution offerings to the USA through a partnership with HCL Technologies Ltd, makers of CAMWorks, and the release of Solidline CAMculator.

Solidline CAMculator optimizes costing to save time and labor. Traditionally, costing is calculated using old stock, estimated values, or trial programming. With CAMculator, data from the CAM model is utilized and cycle time can be calculated and used to ultimately program and calculate the cost of an entire component. Solidline CAMculator supports the automation and costing of parts for up to 5- axis simultaneous machining.

With Solidline CAMculator, companies can reduce calculation time and calculate costing of components based on the actual NC code of a part. Because it uses data from the CAM model, companies can achieve repeat accuracy and company-wide consistency.
