What is the CAMWorks Handbook?
The CAMWorks guide is a training and reference guide rolled into one easy-to-understand book. The book has lessons just like traditional training materials which allow the user to follow along and create toolpaths using sample files that are already installed with the CAMWorks software.
The users will also have chapters they can use for reference that explain the options used in the previous lessons. These chapters will allow the user to reference the book continuously, unlike average training books that are used just once to learn the software.
The first book will cover Milling (up to 5 axis), the Technology Database and Assembly Machining. Users will also learn to use Automatic Feature Recognition, Interactive Machining and SolidWorks tips and tricks. (CamWorks Solids tips and tricks will be included throughout the book.)
Users will also learn how to customize and set up the Technology database to enhance the shop productivity and leverage the automation found in CAMWorks. This will include creating custom tools, adding user-specific tools, and managing the database through Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL.
