SolidCAM and 3Dconnexion
With SpaceMouse, users can intuitively navigate 3D toolpaths and complex part geometries in SolidCAM, enabling smoother workflows and greater precision in CAM programming. SolidCAM’s powerful, fully integrated toolpath generation—especially iMachining—pairs seamlessly with SpaceMouse to streamline CNC setup and boost productivity.
I have been using 3Dconnexion products for over 15 years, to enhance the navigation of parts and assemblies in SolidWorks & SolidCAM. We find it particularly useful to be able to manipulate the view during SolidCAM Toolpath Simulation!
Our partnership with 3Dconnexion reflects SolidCAM’s dedication to enhancing user experience and productivity. By integrating their precision-engineered input devices with our powerful CAM solutions, we’re enabling CNC professionals to work more intuitively, efficiently, and comfortably — pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern manufacturing.
