DCAMCUT FOR SOLIDWORKS
DCAMCUT for SolidWorks is the DCAM CAM solution that can be fully integrated into existing SolidWorks CAD environments.
The efficient solution offers simple and fast programming options directly within the SolidWorks design environment and, in addition to many other functions, also provides complete technology databases for all common makes of machine.

Please note: All SolidCAM customers that currently have SolidCAM WireEDM can upgrade to DCAMCUT for SolidWorks. DCAMCUT Basic, Professional or Expert are fully integrated products that are fully supported by the latest versions of SolidWorks. Both SolidCAM 2016 and InventorCAM 2016 onwards, will no longer support its original WireEDM product as it is being upgraded with the more robust solution from DCAM and Post Processors certified for specific machines.
About DCAM GmBH:
Founded in 1990 in Berlin and specialised exclusively in wire EDM since 1994, they’ve developed into a highly specialised company with an international sales network.
Their DCAMCUT software is used worldwide in machine and plant construction, in tool and mold making, prototype construction, medical technology and in the aerospace industry.
They bundle all their competences under the name DCAM.
Beyond the continuous development of their software solutions, they also offer implementation, support, user training and, with their parent company Tebis, a production-related consulting service.
As an IT specialist for wire erosion, they promise nothing short of perfection.
In order to ensure the highest quality in the integration of their software into the CAD environment, they work alongside a network of strong, innovative partners. This allowed them to gain Tebis AG, a renowned player in the CAD/CAM field, as a strategic partner. They’ve been a fully fledged subsidiary since 2009. In an efficient cooperation, they continue to develop their products together while always meeting the interest of their customers and their company-specific requirements in wire erosion.
