SOLIDWORKS CAM: Getting Started

If combining CAD and CAM is something you've been looking for, you've come to the right place! We will be exploring how easy it is to setup SOLIDWORKS CAM and get started - from defining the machine to adding the correct post processor to output the correct G-code and
Along the way we will also learn how to setup stock, add tools, generate toolpath, and perform a tool simulation.
In case you don't have a post-processor, check out our library of freely available posts:

That was one of the best tutorials I have experienced so far.
I hope that you use your name or nickname other than Hawk Ridge in the future, so I can follow you directly.
Learning could be fun instead of being hard work in the trenches.

Good video Enoch! Great intro to SOLIDWORKS CAM....I use this at home on my 3018 CNC router using our GRBL Post.

This is a great idea. Here is a link to one of our "Getting Started in SOLIDWORKS CAM playlists: ruclips.net/video/GKeHIWZGOEw/видео.html

@@hawkridgesystems Thank you so much

hope will get daily cam content on this playlist... thanks again

How good are the tolerances for the automated G-Code? Normally this procedure takes 7-10 min even for this simple of a part

Thank you.
And tell me if the machine is homemade, which post processor to choose?
