Introduction to SolidCAM for Operators! 

In many machine shops, the tasks of CAM programming and CNC operation are often worlds apart. CNC operators require a deep understanding of setup, tooling, and simulation. When minor G-Code adjustments are needed, like altering cutting conditions or tool offsets, operators should have the flexibility to make these changes swiftly. However, this process often involves back-and-forth with CAM programmers, leading to workflow delays.
That is why we created SolidCAM for Operators Tools - to simplify shop floor processes and empower experienced CNC operators to grasp CAM data easily and, if necessary, make quick edits to machining parameters.
In a typical CNC machine shop using SolidCAM, you'll find seats for CAM programmers and SolidCAM for Operators Editor/Simulator Seats. The choice of using the SolidCAM for Operators Editor or SolidCAM for Operators Simulator is made by the shop floor manager. It depends on whether they want to provide CNC operators with simulation capabilities only or grant them additional editing capabilities.
