Marrying the power and functionality of SOLIDWORKS Design’s parametric design capabilities with the robust and powerful milling capabilities of MecSoft’s standalone CAM software, VisualCAM for SOLIDWORKS delivers outstanding ease of use, associativity to design, power, speed and affordability. There isn’t a better CAD/CAM software package on the market for the price than the combination of SOLIDWORKS Design and VisualCAM. The MILL module of this product has an extremely powerful feature set that allows the user to generate 2 1/2, 3, 4, 5 axis tool paths for CNC machining your SOLIDWORKS Design 3D models. It comes with hundreds of free posts as well as the ability to generate your own if needed.
