(Morningstar CAM Solutions : Albemarle, NC) -- Morningstar CAM Solutions, a leading provider of CAD and CAM software and services, announces a partnership with HCL CAMWorks.

The partnership will provide potential customers with turnkey, proven solutions integrating industry-standard SOLIDWORKS 3D solid modeling with fully associative CAMWorks feature-based, intelligent CNC programming by customizing the software to recognize customers’ existing machine tools, tool holders, cutting tools, fixtures, and machining practices.

Morningstar has been providing CAD and CAM software, training, postprocessors, and technical support since 1986. With many years of hands-on experience in the manufacturing sector, including owning and operating its own modern machine shop with 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining centers, the company is uniquely qualified to assist its clients in simplifying, automating, and accelerating their CNC programming processes with HCL CAMWorks software.

Mark Cadogan, senior area sales director for HCL CAMWorks in the Americas, says, “We are thrilled to welcome Morningstar into the HCL CAMWorks reseller network. With their extensive experience in manufacturing and a proven track record of selling and supporting CAD/CAM software, I am confident they will prove to be a valuable resource for companies looking to drive machining efficiency and streamline their operations.”

Tony Ledbetter, co-founder and president of Morningstar, says, “Morningstar could not be prouder to represent HCL CAMWorks’ cutting-edge technology. While there are plenty of other CAM software products on the market, we feel that CAMWorks truly stands alone with its ability to quickly recognize machinable features in a part and apply machining strategies from its technology database to them. This reduces programming effort and ensures consistency within any machining organization.”

HCL CAMWorks delivers a fully integrated CAD/CAM solution that saves time and boosts efficiency for CNC machining, with programming for 2.5-axis to 5-axis mills, lathes, mill turn, Swiss machining, wire EDM, and more. By working seamlessly within SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, there’s no need to maintain separate CAD and CAM files because design and manufacturing data are stored in a single file. When design changes occur, toolpaths and G-code update automatically.

With advanced features including automatic feature recognition, intelligence-based machining, and the TechDB for capturing best practices, programming time is cut dramatically, and machining cycles are optimized—helping manufacturers achieve faster turnaround and higher productivity.
