SOLIDWORKS CAM Metal Toolpath Optimization

simple die parts in my current project need a full CAM workflow inside SOLIDWORKS. The scope covers three linked stages: generating efficient, collision-free toolpaths, post-processing those paths into proven NC code, and running machining simulations that clearly verify every move.

I will supply native SLDPRT files and tolerance-controlled drawings. Expect deep pockets, free-form 3-D surfaces, and occasional under-cuts, so confident use of advanced 3-axis and multi-axis strategies is essential. All operations must suit metal—mostly stainless and aluminium—with realistic feeds, speeds, and step-overs.

Deliverables
• SOLIDWORKS CAM project files with fully defined operations
• NC programs ready for a Haas VF-series mill (.nc format)
• Verification video or report proving gouge-free simulation
• One-page setup sheet listing tooling, holders, zeros, and estimated cycle time

Acceptance criteria: programs back-plot without alarms, simulation shows no over-cuts, and cycle times meet or beat my existing benchmarks. Initial toolpaths are preferred within one week of award; refinement can follow after review.

Please let me know if fixture data or additional stock allowances are required before you begin.
