This capability is complemented by interactive feature recognition (IFR) for recognizing complex multi-surface features, as well as creating contain and avoid areas. AFR automatically recognizes machinable features in solid models of native format or neutral file format including mill features such as holes, slots, pockets and bosses and turn features such as outside and inside diameter profiles, faces, grooves and cutoffs. One unique feature of SOLIDWORKS CAM is the AFR (automatic feature recognition) technology. This means that if the solid model is changed, the toolpaths are changed automatically with minimal user intervention. In addition, the toolpaths generated are associative with SOLIDWORKS parametric solid model. Hence, the toolpaths generated are on the SOLIDWORKS solid model, not on an imported approximation. Such a seamless integration completely eliminates file transfers using less-desirable standard file formats such as IGES, STEP, SAT, or Parasolid. Because of this integration, you can use the same user interface and solid models for design and later to create machining simulation. This approach is more intuitive and follows the feature-based modeling concepts of computer-aided design (CAD) systems. By defining areas to be machined as machinable features, SOLIDWORKS CAM is able to apply more automation and intelligence into CNC (Computer Numerical Control) toolpath creation. Such an add-in module supports users to integrate design and manufacturing in one application, connecting design and manufacturing teams through a common software tool that facilitates product design in 3D solid model. SOLIDWORKS CAM (powered by CAMWorks (is a parametric, feature-based virtual machining software offered as an add-in to SOLIDWORKS.
