SURFCAM 6 Announces Support for SolidWorks 2013

Surfware, Inc., developer of SURFCAM® CAD/CAM systems is pleased to announce support for SolidWorks 2013 in SURFCAM 6.

Surfware’s commitment as a certified SolidWorks CAM partner ensures customers that SURFCAM supports the latest versions of SolidWorks as they are released. SURFCAM 6 users can now work associatively with SolidWorks 2013 data by simply downloading the most recent updates for SURFCAM 6 at www.surfcam.com/support_downloads.aspx.

SURFCAM has been a certified CAM product for over 8 years providing SURFCAM customers with world class precision and control over their NC programming environment when using SolidWorks design models in their machine shops.

SURFCAM’s powerful associativity enables programmers to open native SolidWorks 2013 files directly into SURFCAM 6, completely eliminating the translation process. When changes are made to the SolidWorks design model, SURFCAM automatically recognizes the design revisions and offers to update the affected toolpaths. With this seamless interoperability between these two systems, SURFCAM users can quickly adapt to SolidWorks design changes and efficiently update their programming environment.

SURFCAM users can also take advantage of the SURFCAM tutorials to learn more about SURFCAM and SolidWorks associativity onhttp://www.surfcam.com/surfcam_tutorials.aspx

SURFCAM 6 supports SolidWorks 2013 parts, assemblies, sketches and configurations and also includes over 200 Post Processors for major CNC machine manufacturers. http://www.solidworks.com/sw/products/details.htm?productid=23
