By using optimised CAM tools with your SOLIDWORKS design you can easily make toolpaths on the model which allow you to easily capture your parts form with high accuracy. CAM Tools also have the great benefit of allow you to simulate how the part will be cut before the material is ever added to a machine. So just like how CAD saves time and effort by capturing errors or mishaps before the product is made. CAM can do the same by giving you a virtual environment to prove your machining out.
Another often overlooked benefit of CAM comes in when you need to make a model change. Whether this being a development tweak to your prototype or revising a production component it is vital that these changes take a minimal amount of time and with the CAM tools in SOLIDWORKS this is simple. With the machining data being associative with SOLIDWORKS this means that if a size is changed the toolpaths will automatically update to the model update. Meaning all you need to do is regenerate the machine code and you are ready to make the next revision.
