Solid Edge solution’s state-of-the-art techniques deliver accuracy and efficiency while turning out world-class products.
The range of traditional and new manufacturing processes Solid Edge defines and executes include CNC machining, nesting, cutting, bending, molding, welding, assembling, 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
Solid Edge ensures accurate and efficient manufacturing processes as it works directly on your part, sheet metal and assembly models. Updates to design or instruction are easy to implement.
Essential CAD CAM Software
CAM Express, a comprehensive, highly flexible system for programming CNC machine tools with the latest machining technology, provides powerful, easy-to-learn-and-deploy NC programming and feature-based machining capabilities. It is available in a cost-effective bundle with Solid Edge or as add-on modules.
Advanced CAD CAM Techniques
CAM Express add-on modules for Solid Edge offer advanced computer-aided manufacturing techniques such as 5-axis milling and mill-turn machining. To help ensure safety and avoid expensive mistakes in the machining process, the comprehensive machine simulation also provides motion analysis and clash detection.
3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing
Solid Edge’s “3D Print” command outputs models to both the .stl file format and the Microsoft 3D Builder app. It will also upload designs to cloud-based 3D printing services to receive instantaneous quotes for parts manufacture in a variety of materials.
Sheet Metal Manufacturing
Solid Edge includes sheet meta manufacturing-specific features that help streamline the entire process, from sheet metal design through flat pattern creation, nesting, cutting and bending. Supported by integrated manufacturing apps, components like emboss, dimple, contour flange, straight brake and etch speed production while improving quality and reducing costs.
Fabrication and Welding
Solid Edge makes it fast and easy to design structural frames and specify the welds and fasteners required to assemble frames and other fabrications. Various weld types can be specified in the Solid Edge Part environment and then documented according to international drafting standards in Solid Edge Drafting.
