Fikus Visualcam, the product developed by Metalcam, is now included on Solidworks’ SolidPartner catalog and can be offered worldwide by the Solidworks’ Value Added Resellers as a CAM solution together with Solidworks’ products. 

Fikus Visualcam integration with Solidworks’ products (Solidworks Office Premium and Solidworks Office Professional) offers the user the possibility to directly import the Solidworks geometry into Fikus Visualcam by means of a dedicated API function in Solidworks or by reading the native .sldprt files. This integration eases the process of geometry creation in Solidworks and manufacturing in Fikus Visualcam. By combining the complete 3D product design solution of Solidworks with Metalcam’s leading-edge CAM solution, customers will significantly benefit from manufacturing quality parts, setting new standards for speed and flexibility.
