SolidCAM World 2026 at IMTS

September 16, 2026
3:00–5:00 p.m.
McCormick Place, Lakeside Room, Chicago, Illinois

SolidCAM World 2026 is a customer and prospect event hosted by SolidCAM during IMTS 2026 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Rather than operating as a separate public trade show, SolidCAM World is a focused two-hour program scheduled within the larger IMTS week. It gives current SolidCAM users and manufacturers evaluating their CAM strategy an opportunity to hear directly from SolidCAM leadership, see live product demonstrations, preview future technologies, and meet other manufacturers using CAM, automation, artificial intelligence, and connected shop-floor systems.

The customer and prospect program takes place on Wednesday, September 16, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Lakeside Room at McCormick Place. Separate registration is required. SolidCAM also offers different programming for staff, resellers, and partners, as well as livestream registration.

What will SolidCAM World 2026 cover?

The program includes presentations and demonstrations focused on:

• SolidCAM’s manufacturing strategy and product direction
• Artificial intelligence within SolidCAM workflows
• New capabilities in SolidCAM 2026
• Technologies currently under development
• Customer results involving cycle time, productivity, and business performance
• SolidShop and the connection among CAM, machine monitoring, shop-floor data, and manufacturing intelligence
• Questions and discussion with SolidCAM leadership

The event concludes with networking, refreshments, and attendee prize drawings. SolidCAM identifies the program as an exclusive event for customers and prospective customers.

Why attend SolidCAM World during IMTS?

IMTS provides an opportunity to compare a wide range of CAM systems, CNC machines, cutting tools, automation technologies, and inspection equipment. SolidCAM World allows attendees to step away from the larger exhibition for a more concentrated examination of one CAM provider’s current products and future direction.

The event may be particularly useful for manufacturers that:

• Currently use SolidCAM and want to understand the 2026 release
• Are comparing SolidCAM with another CAM platform
• Want to see how SolidCAM is introducing AI-assisted manufacturing workflows
• Are evaluating integrated CAD/CAM
• Need to understand SolidCAM’s broader digital-manufacturing and machine-monitoring strategy
• Want direct access to SolidCAM executives and product specialists
• Would benefit from speaking with other SolidCAM users

The combination can be valuable. An attendee can use IMTS to compare the broader manufacturing market and then use SolidCAM World to ask more detailed questions about SolidCAM’s software, implementation, postprocessors, automation, and product roadmap.

Who should attend?

SolidCAM World 2026 is intended for:

• Existing SolidCAM customers
• CNC shops evaluating SolidCAM
• CAM programmers
• Manufacturing engineers
• Machine-shop owners and managers
• SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, or Autodesk Inventor users considering integrated CAM
• Manufacturers interested in AI, automation, machine monitoring, and connected production

This is not a replacement for attending IMTS. It is a specialized event within the same venue and week for people who want a deeper look at SolidCAM.
