SOLIDWORKS PCB and CAM Design

Course details

SOLIDWORKS PCB & Electrical Training

The new SOLIDWORKS PCB powered by altium design tool combines the power and usability of Altium with the 3D expertise of SOLIDWORKS to unite the "electronic" and mechanical worlds, one design at a time.

ECAD-MCAD Project Collaboration Server
Achieve unmatched ECAD-MCAD integration and collaboration with SOLIDWORKS® by unifying data and pushing changes to both sides of the design project.

Managed ECAD-MCAD ECO Process
Manage changes to board shape, component placement, mounting holes, keepouts and cutouts in both SOLIDWORKS PCB and SOLIDWORKS through managed Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), no matter where the change initiated.

Output PCB Copper Geometries
Open board designs in SOLIDWORKS with all copper information making it possible to take advantage of advanced analysis such as thermal and vibration simulation.

Streamlined Interface
The SOLIDWORKS PCB interface is designed for streamlined productivity and ease-of-use. Enjoy a modern interface with easy to navigate options to get your PCB designs done quickly and efficiently.

Library Management
Combine and manage your schematic and PCB component libraries together in a single location. Re-use components that you know and trust from successful past projects.

Supplier Links
Make immediate decisions on pricing and availability of components to meet your budget and deadlines. Search your preferred supplier databases within SOLIDWORKS PCB and link solutions directly to components in your design.

Version Control
Gain greater clarity and control over changes made to your design in all phases, from schematic capture to board layout.

Seamless integration
Open native SOLIDWORKS files in SOLIDWORKS PCB, and open PCB files in SOLIDWORKS. Imported mechanical models are accurate and retain your original design information.

Enhance your manufacturing process by capturing company standards, speed up quoting, and test manufacturability of a design earlier in the ;

Feature Recognition
Recognize certain types of geometry not only as CAD features, but to understand how much those features will be manufactured, and even how much it will cost to manufacture. SOLIDWORKS CAM can find 20+ types of machinable features on parts, such as holes, slots, and pockets.

Rules-based Machining
Automatically apply best manufacturing strategies that you like to use so that manufacturing processes can be not only faster, but also more standardized.

Tolerance Based Machining
Model Based Definition (MBD) is leveraged to ensure machining strategies are automatically adjusted based on tolerance ;Reading tolerances and surface finishes will help you to make decisions about how to manufacture your product.

Part & Assembly machining
milling solution which allows users to program in either part or assembly environments.

Automatic Quoting
Automate quoting and compare it to traditional methods to ensure all aspects of the part are accounted for ahead of time.

Axis Milling
Machine prismatic features with axis milling capabilities. SOLIDWORKS CAM includes automatic roughing, finishing, thread milling, face milling and single point (drilling, boring, reaming, tapping) cycles.

3 Axis Milling
SOLIDWORKS CAM includes 3 axis milling routines to machine complex, contoured surfaces routinely encountered in mold/tool making and aerospace applications.

Turning
SOLIDWORKS CAM 2 and 4 axis turning software for programming CNC lathe machines includes automatic roughing, finishing, grooving, threading, cutoff and single point (drilling, boring, reaming and tapping) cycles.

Associative Machining
SOLIDWORKS CAM provides true associative machining - automatically accommodating changes to your part or assembly model. Any modifications made to the SOLIDWORKS design are automatically updated in SOLIDWORKS CAM, which eliminates time consuming CAM system rework due to design alterations.
