What is a Quick Start?

Quick Start services are designed to enable you to immediately become productive with a new software purchase. Across all the Quick Starts we offer we typically see an 80% reduction in set up time vs self-implementation.

Key Benefits
  • Avoiding the time associated with self-implementation.
  • Help users to become productive in the shortest time possible.
  • Ensuring best practice from day one.
  • Ensuring all users are aware of available support and resources.

SolidCAM Service

Service Overview

The Quick Start includes the following services

SolidCAM Installation

Installation of one instance of SolidCAM software – we recommend that you do this prior to the service so that more time can be spent carrying out system review and set up.

Set Up Machine Simulation (if applicable)

The SolidCAM Simulator is an advanced tool for visualizing and verifying the machining process, reducing the risk of collisions and maximizing the efficacy of your toolpaths.

Set up Initial Sample Tool Library

The Part Tool Library contains all the Tool Items available for use in a specific CAM-Part and enables you to manage them in accordance with the CNC-Machine chosen for the CAM-Part Definition.

Best Practices and Workflow

Our service engineer will guide you through best practices and SolidCAM workflows and advise on good file management and backup routines.

Create a Learning/Training Path

We will also provide a recommended learning path based on the SolidCAM modules you have purchased, helping to continue your development and ensure you get the most out of SolidCAM.

SolidCAM Settings

Our service engineer will review many SolidCAM settings with you including the Default CAM Part, GCode Locations, CNC Controller and Post location.

Set Up Machine Default

Our SolidCAM engineer will set your machine default including Speed & Feed, CAM Tree View Options, parameters of the Tool Path Linking.

Initial CAM Part Program

The CAM Part is a SOLIDWORKS part prepared for a CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) project. We set up the CAM Part, Apply Fixture, Apply Toolpath, Generate GCode. 

Support Resources Overview

Our engineer ensure that you are set up with access to all available resources, along with the support process and methods to obtain support.

Optional SolidCAM Training / 2 Days / 2 People
