SolidShop - The Ecosystem for Shop Floor Digitization
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Smart Shop Floor Digitization
SolidShop is a powerful all-in-one platform that streamlines shop floor operations by combining an advanced editor, robust PDM for document and process management, and accurate G-code machine simulation.
Compatible with both new and legacy CNC machines, it’s quick to implement and delivers a proven, affordable path to a fully digital, paperless workflow.
By uniting programming, documentation, communication, monitoring, and reporting in one solution, SolidShop helps manufacturers boost productivity, eliminate errors, reduce downtime, and achieve complete traceability across their entire operation.
Products & Add-ons
CIMCO Edit
NC program editing and simulation
• Simulate parametric code with solid models and see variables update in real time
