SOLIDWORKS CAMWorks Tutorial - Tool Tree Programming

The SOLIDWORKS CAMWorks Tool Tree can be used to facilitate programming. The Tool Tree organizes machining operations and toolpath strategies in a hierarchical structure, mimicking the physical setup of a machine shop. It allows users to define cutting tools and then operations to create the toolpath for the specified feature.

Each branch in the tree represents a machining feature or operation, such as facing, drilling, or contouring, with associated tool parameters. This hierarchical layout simplifies the process of creating and editing toolpaths, streamlining CNC programming.

Users can easily visualize and manage the entire machining process, from roughing to finishing, ensuring efficient and error-free manufacturing processes.
