What do you like best about SolidWorks CAM?

It is the easiest software that I could learn in approximately half an year. It is very flexible and quite reliable. I can always go back and change my dimensions or any other details in the sketch and coming back to my 3D model. I think it is very quick if the project is very well defined. I used this software in the last couple of years to design my prototypes of devices in university and I don't know what I would have done without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks CAM?

I dislike the fact that it doesn't have an auto-save button to just pop up and ask me if I want to save my model because as I am drawing and concentrating at the draw, I keep forgetting that I have to save it constantly so that I won't lose it in case the computer shuts down or anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolidWorks CAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly design, bill of materials and technical specification drawings. The best solution for modelling is SolidWorks. This is coming from experience and trying more similar software such as Catia or Creo parametrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SolidWorks CAM?

The most satisfactory thing about this is that you can design mechanical elements and simulate how you will behave in the work area. Besides that, it allows the cost saving since it has the option of simulating the created element, we can also choose the material to be used for the construction of the desired piece. Unlike others, this product is very good since it allows to evaluate the behavior, the flexibility and rigidity of the designed element without the need to spend money in the real field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks CAM?

Something not very good about this product is that due to its additional options it becomes a bit complex to manipulate since good training is needed to use it efficiently and quickly.

Recommendations to others considering SolidWorks CAM:

I recommend the software since it is very good, it allows the saving of cost, time and effort. The functions it fulfills are excellent for any company that needs to create parts and spare parts for their machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolidWorks CAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

The low cost allows savings, due to the simulation system that it has. It is satisfactory because the piece can be simulated from the computer and does not generate expenses when doing the simulation in special tests Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
