Re: CAM Software - Free?

Trent,

I've run this question past my technical people at SolidWorks and here is the response:

I would suggest that you turn to CamWorks, SolidCAM, HSMWorks, MasterCAM who provide a CAM solution. They are focused on CAM first and foremost. If you are looking for a solution for the mill, then any one of those partners should be able to write the appropriate gcode.

With respect to the question at hand, I do not see a reason why Pro/E would not be able to import any model that was developed in SolidWorks. At worst, you would need to export the file to an appropriate file format for Pro/E to import.

The partners that I recommend above all have an AddIn solution to operate within SW.
