SolidCAM UK is preparing to make a major impact at MACH 2026, where the company will demonstrate its latest advancements in their fully integrated, high‑performance CAM software on Stand 310 in Hall 17. With a long‑established reputation for delivering powerful, scalable, and easy‑to‑use programming solutions, SolidCAM aims to inspire manufacturers seeking higher productivity, shorter cycle times, and a more streamlined approach to CNC machining.

A Leader in Integrated CAM Innovation:

Fully integrated with SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and Solid Edge, SolidCAM provides a seamless CAD/CAM workflow that dramatically reduces programming time and eliminates the errors associated with traditional data translation. At MACH 2026, visitors will see firsthand how SolidCAM’s industry‑proven associativity ensures toolpaths update automatically whenever designs change - a crucial benefit for fast‑moving production environments.

The company will present its complete suite of milling and turning capabilities, from 2.5D machining and 3D HSM strategies to complex 5‑Axis operations and advanced Mill‑Turn programming. With native support for multi‑turret, multi‑spindle and multi-channel synchronisation, SolidCAM continues to push the boundaries of what integrated CAM can achieve for modern shops.

Empowering High‑End Mill-Turn & Sliding Head (Swiss‑Type) Machining:

Visitors will be able to watch live cutting demonstrations on a Star SP23, showcasing how SolidCAM drives high‑performance machining on advanced Sliding Head (Swiss-Type) technology.

As UK manufacturers increasingly invest in multi‑axis and Sliding Head (Swiss‑Type) technology to meet growing production demands, SolidCAM has positioned itself as the trusted partner for unlocking the full potential of these machines. The software offers unlimited axis control, comprehensive simulation, and intelligent synchronisation tools that ensure safe, efficient, and highly optimised programs, even for the most complex multi‑tasking applications.

From small precision components to large‑volume production workflows, SolidCAM enables manufacturers to achieve fast cycle times, stable machining conditions, and precise toolpath management without the challenges of manual controller-based programming.

iMachining: The Proven Difference in Cycle Time and Tool Life:

A key highlight at MACH 2026 will be SolidCAM’s patented iMachining technology. Known globally as one of the most transformative developments in CAM, iMachining provides:

• 70% or more cycle‑time reduction compared to conventional machining
• 5 times or greater tool life extension
• Dramatic improvements in tool stability, chip control, and heat dissipation
• Exceptional performance on difficult materials such as Inconel, Stainless Steel, and Titanium

SolidCAM Application Engineer Experts will demonstrate how the software’s unique Technology Wizard automatically calculates optimal cutting conditions, making high‑efficiency machining accessible and repeatable for users of all skill levels.

Transforming CNC Workflow with SolidCAM Solid Shop & SolidCAM CAM Assist:

Alongside its core CAM innovations, SolidCAM UK will highlight two powerful workflow technologies designed to modernise communication, improve programming accuracy, and strengthen shopfloor efficiency: SolidCAM SolidShop and SolidCAM CAM Assist.

SolidShop: The Centralised Digital Hub for the Modern Shopfloor:

SolidShop provides manufacturers with a streamlined, paperless platform for managing CNC production. Visitors to MACH 2026 will discover how SolidShop enables teams to:

• Access CNC programs, setup sheets, tooling lists, and documentation directly at the machine
• Maintain controlled, revision‑safe production data
• Track job progress and part status in real time
• Strengthen communication between programming, engineering, and the shopfloor
• Eliminate errors caused by outdated information or missing paperwork

With intuitive navigation and full integration into SolidCAM workflows, SolidShop gives manufacturers greater reliability, traceability, and efficiency throughout the entire machining process.

SolidCAM CAM Assist: Intelligent Guidance for Faster, More Reliable Programming:

SolidCAM CAM Assist brings intelligent, context‑aware assistance directly into the programming workflow. At MACH 2026, attendees will see how CAM Assist helps users:

• Receive automatic guidance on optimal machining strategies
• Quickly identify the most suitable tools and parameters for each operation
• Navigate unfamiliar machine types or processes with step‑by‑step support
• Maintain consistency and best‑practice programming across teams
• Reduce onboarding time for new programmers

By combining expert logic with smart automation, CAM Assist empowers programmers of all experience levels to work faster, reduce errors, and produce higher‑quality toolpaths.

Advanced Simultaneous 5‑Axis Made Easy:

Visitors will also be able to explore SolidCAM’s highly refined Simultaneous 5‑Axis strategies, featuring:

• Barrel Cutting
• SWARF Machining
• Port Machining
• Multi‑Blade and Rotary Machining
• Edge Breaking and Advanced Surface Finishing

Combined with intuitive setup, collision avoidance and precise toolpath control, SolidCAM offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive and reliable 5‑Axis CAM platforms.

A Commitment to Exceptional Customer Support:

SolidCAM UK maintains that world‑class software must be supported by world‑class service. Its Technical and Post Processor teams are widely recognised across the UK and Ireland for their expertise, rapid response, and personalised customer support, which they say is a core philosophy that continues to drive satisfaction and long-term partnerships.

A Message from the Managing Director:

Gordon Drysdale, Managing Director of SolidCAM UK Ltd, comments:

“MACH 2026 gives us the opportunity to demonstrate just how far integrated CAM technology has come. SolidCAM remains one of the most capable, versatile, and user‑friendly CAM systems on the market, and we’re excited to show manufacturers how they can dramatically elevate their productivity. We look forward to meeting customers new and old and helping them take their CNC operations to the next level.”
