The efficiency with which sculptured surfaces are machined is dependent on the machining strategies used. Moreover, by using SolidCAM the steps of operation, parameter details can be set in a way to save time, cost, tool lives, etc. SolidCAM helps understand the concept, operation and importance of using CAM software in modern day manufacturing industries. Finally, the G-codes are automatically generated for the practical use in CNC machine. After the steps are defined, the whole process is simulated in various modes. In this paper, SolidCAM iMachining is studied and the detailed procedures of the machining process of a spur gear from stock material are described step by step by using SolidCAM 2014 2D iMachining technology. The simulation process makes it possible to observe the operations in real time conditions and makes the G-code flawless for physical operation. A great variety of machining operations on different stock objects for producing various products can be easily defined by using this suite which results in increased flexibility. The iMachining technology uses intelligent, patented algorithms for specific operations to optimize the tool path, reduce machining time, tool wear, etc.

SolidCAM iMachining is a real breakthrough in CNC milling tool path technology. It provides a seamless single window integration and full associativity with the SolidWorks model. SolidCAM is the manufacturing suite for easiest, fastest, most efficient CNC (computer numerical control) simulation and programming facility that can be done directly inside SolidWorks. SolidCAM is a popular add-in of SolidWorks.
