Inventor CAM Software Overview
Autodesk Inventor CAM software, part of the Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions, is a CAM add-on bundle that integrates into Inventor and SOLIDWORKS, the two most widely used design packages. Take control of your manufacturing and achieve higher productivity, reduced costs, and shorter time to market using Inventor CAM.
Adaptive Clearing
Adaptive clearing is an advanced roughing strategy that sets the bar for efficient, high-volume material removal. Using constant tool engagement and optimised cutter paths, Autodesk Inventor CAM reduces roughing time by a factor of 4 or more compared to conventional roughing.
Read MorePost Processors
No CAM system is complete without a post-processor that produces ready-to-run code tailored to your machine, control, and programming style.
3 & 2 Axis Machining
All 2D and 3D strategies support 3+2 machining (5-axis positioning) by rotating the part or the head of the machine tool through a combination of A, B, or C axis motions.
Drilling & Hole Making
All operations are optimised to minimise tool travel and overall cycle time. Both standard and customised cycles are supported for all point-to-point operations, including spot-drilling, deep drilling with chip break, and boring cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Inventor CAM used for?
Inventor CAM is used for creating CNC machining processes within Autodesk Inventor. It supports milling, turning, and multi-axis machining, helping streamline the design-to-production workflow by generating and simulating toolpaths directly in the software. This integration reduces errors and ensures accurate manufacturing.
-
What is Inventor CAM?
Inventor CAM is an integrated CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) solution within Autodesk Inventor. It provides tools for a wide range of machining operations, including milling, turning, and multi-axis machining, directly within the Inventor interface. This integration allows users to seamlessly transition from design to manufacturing, ensuring a smoother workflow and reducing the risk of errors. Inventor CAM supports both simple and complex machining tasks, making it suitable for various manufacturing needs.
-
Is Inventor a CAD or CAM?
Inventor is primarily a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. It is used for 3D mechanical design, simulation, and documentation. However, with the addition of Inventor CAM, it also provides CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) capabilities, allowing users to create and simulate machining processes within the same platform.

Reviews
"Creating customised race components"The ability to work with the model directly, make modifications to the programme or to the model and have it stay active - was what sold HSM to us.Tim Evans, Machine Shop Manager | Kalitta Motorsports"Small-batch custom products"It's the only programme that I've ran that is simplified as far as drawing and programming at the same time. Everything just comes together and it makes life a lot easier.Owner | R Mac Shop
