IMTS 2026 in Chicago was an exciting and highly successful event for SolidCAM, bringing together CNC manufacturers, customers, partners, and industry professionals for six intensive days of technology demonstrations, discussions, and new business opportunities.
Throughout the show, the SolidCAM booth was busy with visitors looking for practical solutions to their real-world manufacturing challenges. Our teams demonstrated how the Complete Ecosystem for Digital Manufacturing : SolidCAM, SolidShop, and Manufacturing AI can help manufacturers connect programming, production, and shop-floor operations.
From CAM Programming to the Connected Shop Floor
Visitors explored a wide range of SolidCAM technologies and solutions, including iMachining, Simultaneous 5-Axis machining, Multi-Channel Mill-Turn, and Swiss-Type machining.
Beyond CAM programming, demonstrations also highlighted the growing role of digitalization on the shop floor. With SolidShop, manufacturers can connect machines, production data, and processes, while Manufacturing AI opens new possibilities for smarter programming and more efficient manufacturing workflows.
Together, these technologies demonstrate how SolidCAM is continuing to expand beyond traditional CAM software toward a more connected and intelligent approach to CNC manufacturing.
Technology Backed by Expertise
One of the key takeaways from IMTS 2026 was that advanced manufacturing technology depends on strong technical expertise and reliable Post-Processors.
The success of the event was made possible by the dedication of the SolidCAM US team and colleagues who travelled from around the world to support the show. Their technical knowledge, application experience, and commitment helped ensure that visitors could see how SolidCAM solutions can be applied to real manufacturing requirements.
Looking Ahead After IMTS 2026
IMTS 2026 created valuable conversations and new connections across the manufacturing industry. With new leads, customer discussions, and opportunities generated during the show, SolidCAM now looks forward to turning these conversations into long-term customer relationships.
Thank you to everyone who visited the SolidCAM booth and contributed to an outstanding IMTS 2026. We look forward to continuing the conversations and seeing you at the next IMTS!
