Surfware and SolidWorks Partner to Provide Cutting Edge Design-to-Manufacturing Solutions
Surfware, developers of SURFCAM CAD/CAM Systems, recently announced that SolidWorks® software Parts Design Only (PDO) is now available at no additional cost to all eligible SURFCAM users. Surfware recently entered into an OEM licensing agreement with SolidWorks that bundles SolidWorks PDO with SURFCAM. This is the full working product as sold by SolidWorks, excluding the assembly and drafting functionality.
SURFCAM incorporates complete SolidWorks interoperability to accelerate the design to manufacturing process. This powerful associativity enables users to open native SolidWorks files directly into SURFCAM, thus completely eliminating the translation process. SURFCAM automatically recognizes any design revisions in the solid model and regenerates only affected toolpaths.
With this interoperability, SURFCAM users can easily adapt to downstream design changes.
