Metals3

Metals3 is a software suite developed by SolidCAM, designed for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided design (CAD) applications. It is particularly noted for its capabilities in metalworking, including milling, turning, and EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining). The suite includes several modules, each tailored to specific aspects of metalworking. Metals3 CAM is the core module, providing tools for creating toolpaths for various machining operations. Metals3 CAD offers design capabilities, allowing users to create and modify 3D models. Metals3 Post is used for generating G-code, which is the numerical control programming language used in CNC machining. Metals3 Inspect is a module for quality inspection, enabling users to compare machined parts with their CAD models. The software is known for its user-friendly interface, advanced simulation features, and integration capabilities with other CAD and CAM systems. It supports a wide range of CNC machines and is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows and Linux. Metals3 is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, where precision and efficiency are crucial. The software is continually updated to incorporate the latest technological advancements and user feedback.
