iMachining
With SolidCAM's patented iMachining technology, you’ll boost your machine output, save on tooling, and run smoother jobs – all without expensive upgrades or new equipment.
Get more out of your CNC machines
Many shops believe they’re already pushing their CNCs to the limit – but often, there’s a lot of untapped potential.
SolidCAM’s patented iMachining technology offers you substantial time and cost savings without expensive machine upgrades. The result: Shorter cycle times, longer tool life, and dependable first-part success.
Cut cycle times by up to 70%, using intelligent toolpaths that remove material efficiently and keep machines cutting instead of moving air.
Extend tool life by up to five times, maximizing your tooling budget and minimizing downtime for changes and replacements.
The iMachining Technology Wizard automatically calculates optimal feeds and speeds for your machines, materials, and tools – so you get reliable results the first time, even on complex parts.
Solve the most common shop floor challenges
Tool breakage, trial-and-error feeds and speeds, wasted cutting time – these are familiar headaches for most CNC shops.
iMachining tackles these problems by giving you proven, optimized toolpaths and cutting conditions from the start.
With the Technology Wizard, you don’t waste hours guessing or adjusting. Stable engagement and consistent chip loads reduce tool wear, while intelligent rest-material strategies mean you only cut what’s left. No wasted air moves.
Many shops find they get more out of their existing machines, often postponing or cancelling expensive upgrades altogether.
Less trial and error, fewer surprises, and more predictable costs. Now, you you can take on jobs confidently and deliver parts on time.
Curious about the tech specs?
- The Technology Wizard automatically synchronizes feeds, speeds, depth, and chip thickness for each toolpath segment, based on stock, tool properties, and machine limits.
- Unique toolpath strategies including morphing spirals, moating, and smart repositioning. Minimize air cutting and wasted motion.
- The Level Slider makes it easy to adjust cutting aggressiveness to suit real-world fixtures, tool holding, and machine rigidity.
- Supports 2D, 3D, and indexial 5-axis machining. Ideal for everything from simple pockets to complex molds and high-value parts.
- Fully integrated into SOLIDWORKS and Inventor, preserving model associativity and streamlining your programming process.
