Description

RayViz is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS created by Lambda Research Corporation that allows users to integrate and save optical properties seamlessly within the SOLIDWORKS CAD interface. This feature enables users to assign optical traits from the TracePro property database, ensuring that these properties are embedded within the SOLIDWORKS model itself. Users have the capability to define light sources and execute ray tracing directly in SOLIDWORKS, which aids in visualizing light rays and their trajectories, thereby supporting tasks like verifying beam paths, spotting vignetting caused by mechanical elements, and detecting light leakage in light guides. Additionally, RayViz comes equipped with catalogs of LED sources and those featuring Gaussian and Lambertian beam profiles. A notable benefit of using RayViz is its functionality to save SOLIDWORKS models in the TracePro file format, which allows for thorough optical analysis within TracePro. Moreover, should any changes be made to the SOLIDWORKS model, users can easily synchronize these updates using the "update from RayViz" feature in TracePro, enhancing workflow efficiency. This integration ultimately streamlines the design process for optical engineers by combining powerful tools in a unified platform.

Description

SOLIDWORKS® CAM, which is powered by CAMWorks, employs rules-based technology to seamlessly merge design and manufacturing within a single application, fostering collaboration between design and manufacturing teams through a unified software tool and 3D model. This add-on for all SOLIDWORKS CAD versions allows for earlier preparation of designs for manufacturability during the development cycle. Tasks related to manufacturing that previously required the completion of a design can now be executed simultaneously with the design phase. As a result, SOLIDWORKS CAM solutions facilitate a swift transition from design to manufacturing via an integrated workflow. The SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard version enables quick programming of individual milled parts and configurations directly within the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment, ensuring efficiency. Users also have comprehensive control over establishing rules within SOLIDWORKS CAM to align with their company standards and implement Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM), ultimately enhancing productivity and consistency in the manufacturing process. This integration represents a significant advancement in how design and manufacturing can work together harmoniously.
