What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Lesson 1: Introduction to CAMWorks 4/5 Axis Programming
Introduce the benefits of 5 axis and the types of machines and kinematics that exist. Various principles will be covered and you will learn the process for creating and post processing 4/5 axis tool paths.
Lesson 2: 3+2 Axis Programming, 3 to 5 Axis Conversion, and Wrapped Features
Build up from your experience of 2.5D and 3D milling by using these operations in 5 axis positionally. From here we look at converting 3D toolpaths to simultaneous 5 axis and finally on how we can machine wrapped geometry.
Lesson 3: Multi Surface Features for Multi Axis Operations
Showing the procedure of selecting geometry for multi axis work with ease. From different techniques for picking geometry, to controlling how many axes to use. This lesson also shows helpful SOLIDWORKS surfacing practices to make the most out of your machining capability.
Lesson 4: Multi Axis Operation Parameters
Outline the general workflow that is done in CAMWorks as well as understand the best parameters to use as well as having a basic understanding of axis control parameters.
Lesson 5: Multi Axis Operations
Look at use specific toolpaths to better cut geometry in specific applications such as ports, impellors and trimming as well as gouge checking to move the tool.
Lesson 6: Multi Axis Roughing
Takes the user through roughing in simultaneous 5 axis. From here users will be able to use multiaxis roughing on a variety of geometries.
Lesson 7: Swarf Machining
Shows how to finish components of different varieties using the side of the cutter rather than the endpoint, allowing bigger depths of cut for finishing.
Lesson 8: 5 Axis Drilling
Works through how to drill holes on multiple angles and multi surfaces quickly.

A SOLIDWORKS Passport offers you a comprehensive training and development plan in one single purchase.
These Passports allow you to make massive savings on training, compared to purchasing multiple courses one at a time.
Separate Passports are available for SOLIDWORKS CAD & SolidCAM, depending on your design & manufacturing needs.
Each SOLIDWORKS CAD Passport can be purchased in different lengths that are valid for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years. The passport is active from the date of the first course you attend.
We recommend new SOLIDWORKS users start off with SOLIDWORKS Essentials. From there the courses that you benefit you most will depend on your products and workflow.
For most professional SOLIDWORKS users the best courses to take next are: Advanced Part Modelling, Drawings, Advanced Assembly modeling.
